I just noticed that even though I deleted all my content and the 90 day period has ended,there are still sales in April and May.
therefore between cleared,uncleared balance,distributor sale,80% of net,sales under "other income" of 0,01,deleted files that are still being sold....
honestly to me this agency just seems like a big madhouse! :D
I'm more than happy to never contribute again!

The sales could have been much older than that. Alamy relies on a crappy system where customers (!) have to report that they used an image to Alamy, only then the sale will be registered to your account, not when the image is bought by the customer.
And sometimes customers take months to do that or "forget" it alltogether.

Had to contact Alamy more than once about this when I found images of mine credited to Alamy being used online, but the image was never sold according to my Alamy dashboard.  ::)

What's the deal with video sales? Yes, Alamy does not accept it as far as I know. But he used to accept videos for sale. Maybe someone managed to upload a video there before.

ok so when sales are reported in the dashboard it's not even the exact day the sale was made?Really a messy system,and also a big mockery of these sales under the "other income" of 0.01, I don't know how they can call this "income".
the real problem here is the law that allows these things,because creating content is a job like any other and must be respected and regulated in a fair and correct way,it is right that agencies have their own freedoms but up to a certain point,in this days they are trampling human rights in the light of day.

Absolutely the top negative points and 100% accurate. Only one left out was Alamy trying to prosecute for use of an exclusive image, when it was licensed, within the allowed terms, directly by the artist.

Back to the topic at hand:  I had sale today for $574 USD ($230 net).  I'd have to go back quite a few years to match that.
