Well, then it seems to be really something like side business:
If we further see bought in China..., well, I guess, they would not buy it for usual price - except very few one as mentioned above.
So, opt in might NOT competiting with ourselves or giving away for cheaper?
But who says, that only customer from China want to use it?
A clearify from Alamy would help. Then it might be easier to decide t opt in or opt out.

Distributers are not only in China.
I've netted <20c via distributers in Eastern Europe. These were specifically tagged as bulk discounts. The interesting thing was that there was a rash of comments about these on the Alamy forum, but after these first sales (3, presumably to different buyers, in a very short period), I haven't had any more, nor have I read about them on the forum. This month, there have been several comments about super-low sales to China.
We can apparently still choose to opt out of distribution to specific countries.

How much clearer could Alamy be?

It was the specific camera you had that was rejected, not the fact that it was a compact camera.
A Sony 100Mk3 is my current 'walkabout' camera, and I've had lots of pics from it accepted, and I believe they accept pics from the earlier models also.

Me too. Also I got two sub sales, both for 0,07 USD >:(

I mark myself lucky not to be getting these. Yes I would be discouraged and disappointed. I agree.

I didn't know the country thing, but as someone else just added, you can opt out, during the one month period and have none of these.
True, one of my lowest distributor sales for news was Romania. ;)

Most people in Alamy use as compact camera Sony RX100, i can't afford to buy that camera, i have a Canon XT (Alamy) for street and some cheap compact cameras such as Nikon Coolpix L18 (not accepted on Alamy but they accepted in microstock ). This's the tread on Alamy forum talking about it.
