Original sale date in March 2023
Sale refunded in December 2024
That is almost 2 years. What is your worst alamy refund experience?

None because I think (and this is just a theory) you need sales to get refunds. I've given up on Alamy, little to no volume most months.

That is VERY long time. I had couple of refunds, but usually within few days of original purchase.
Did your sale from March '23 clear and you got paid, then account debited in '24?

According to the report on alamy I was paid in Dec 2024, and then was debited in the same month. When I followed up with alamy on this transaction, they said they were unable to obtain payment from the customer hence the "refund". Out of curiosity I scrolled thru my balance page and notice a number of sales back in 2023 were not clear. I am expecting more refunds in the future. It appears to me customers do not need to pay when they download an image from alamy and its up to alamy to chase payments?

These sales were from images uploaded almost 10 years ago. I gave up on them when they keep reducing actual payout via increasing and different commissions.

I am not 100% but I think that is so. I've been on Alamy 7 yrs now and longest I had to wait for payment to clear was 4 weeks. Maybe that is the same "rogue" customer (i.e. fraud) in your case, because it is bit weird to wait ~2yrs.
