As much as I hate to admit it, Alamy was a mistake I made....maybe my stuff was not up to the standard I thought. I have found the selection method perhaps the most frustrating practice I have ever encountered. Amazing thing, both my wife and I have sat on $49.00 & $49.50 outstanding waiting for one more sale for months before we are entitled to a payout- Alamy will justify this of course....but there are other agencies that do not freeze or fail maybe 50 plus uploads because maybe one does not meet their criteria!!! It's a rort and I for one have had enough.
Good luck to all contributors....but I do hope others voice their dissatisfaction with a company that is so frustrating....imagine how many contributors are sitting just below the "$50" magical amount for some pathetic payout and how Alamy benefits by never letting you achieve a menial goal.
