Friendly reminder. Today's the day that Alamy punishes it's contributors, because they have become even more terrible at what they do, and are failing to make sufficient sales to meet their own self-imposed quotas. So remember to check your account status, and if they pooped the bed on your content like they did mine, it might be time to say goodbye. I just requested that my content be removed and my remaining balance paid out to me, ASAP. A 20% artist royalty is not something anyone should accept. Now to see if they try to keep my money due to it not being at the payout level or drag their feet on deleting my images. A bit sad, since they used to be a decent third tier earner back a few years ago, aside from their asinine review process. They really took a big fat dump though. Bye Alamy.

From my experience, they will give you your money when you close your account, even if it's below the treshold level.
A wise decision to say goodbye to them. 20% is a ridiculous royalty, and punishing contributors for lack of sales (i.e. demoting them to Silver level for not making $250 gross revenue) is unethical in my opinion. It's a cash grab, nothing more.

i never checked but omg what?

What commission rate we get there?
I will close the account after 50USD payout reached. lol it feels like cheating myself.
99.9% are:
Sale 0.10
Deduction -0.09
Due 0.01
only 1 sale with:
Sale 20.05
Deduction -16.04
Due 4.01

I had no idea this even came in - shows how often i check Alamy.
Years ago it was the agency with few sales but each sale was for hundreds of dollars so was worth leaving ticking over.
No i seem to get 40% of $3 instead (apparently im gold).
Will be keeping a close eye on this now im aware the structure exists.
