Just got a heap of Novel Use sales - each going for 49c of which I get 24c (because, apparently, Alamy can't work out what half of 49c is). If I knew this was for a school project I wouldn't mind but the lack of details is worrying. When they launched this, there was talk of $10 sales, that seems to have gone out of the window. What next, 25c sales?
Same here! Even SS and FT subscriptions pay more per sale!
i tried to opt out, but it doesn't appear you can do that anymore. do you need to notify alamy's admin instead?
I had a bunch of 49 cents sales as well.Kicker is:I opted out in April 2009 Last time they had a wave of NU sales coming in (when I was also opted out) Member Services claimed that all sales occurred before 04-2009.I wonder what their excuse is now...
I am not crazy about .25 subs either, but the sites that give them (including even TS) allow you to leave whenever you want. It's very unethical for Alamy to keep us locked in to virtually giving away our images.
I am doing reasonably well at Alamy. I don't get penny sales because I have opted out of the Novel Use after a few months. If you agree to the Novel Use, you have to live with the results.
Well guys! we opted-in, now we have to live with it. Its a giant laugh but frankly the way Micro is going, I rather have thousands of 0.49c, then a smack in the bollucks.cheers everyone.

Exactly! At least, Alamy gives you the option to opt out.
