Hey everyone, just got a mail from getty. It says remittance advice and " Getty Images has sent you this notification.
> The following payment has been remitted:"

Does this mean they are sending me money or have they cancelled it? My paypal acc is still dry as a bone

No wonder you're asking. Remit is one of these oddly ambiguous words that means two almost opposite things:
"remit verb past tense: remitted; past participle: remitted rɪˈmɪt/
    1. cancel or refrain from exacting or inflicting (a debt or punishment).
    "the excess of the sentence over 12 months was remitted"
    synonyms:   cancel, set aside, revoke, repeal, rescind, abrogate, suspend More
    "the fines imposed on the Earl of Lancaster were remitted"
        Theology: forgive (a sin).
        "God's act of remitting the sins of guilty men"
        synonyms:    pardon, forgive; excuse, overlook, pass over
        "remitting their sins"
    2.
    send (money) in payment or as a gift.
    "the income they remitted to their families"
    synonyms: send, dispatch, forward, transmit, convey;"


However, if I was told a payment had been remitted, I'd expect a payment - mabye it takes a wee while to show up in your PayPal account?

Does it mean that a file has been refunded? Odd way of wording it if so.

No, it means they paid out an amount.
