Bryan Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 5 low value distributor sales for the same amount and one direct for a more respectable amount. Not got any other details as yet. It's not a live news image, pretty nondescript in fact. Suspect an error on the part of the purchaser, with refunds due tomorrow, but wondering if anyone else has seen this?

Vincent Lowe Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Had three sales of the same image on the 30th November, same fee (low), same usage (newspaper). No refunds so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Thanks Vincent, maybe there won't be a refund. Sales details have now become available, five of them are like this Country: Sweden Usage: Editorial Media: Magazine - print, digital and electronic Print run: up to 10,000 Placement: Inside Image Size: 1 page Start: 01 November 2017 End: 01 November 2022 And the sixth is the same save it is for a UK customer.

spacecadet Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Different mags, same publisher maybe, although there's the dreaded 'titles within the same group' proviso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Yet more weirdness, on this one. Today, and relating to the same bunch of sales, two small positive amounts appeared in the deductions column with corresponding positive additions in the Due column. Then a -ve sale amount ( the same as one of the original distributor sale fees) with nothing in the deductions column resulting in a negative value in the Due column. Not to worry (too much) a more healthy $50 direct sale popped in this morning! Edit, I guess that the small positive amounts related to the distributor and Alamy commissions on the original sale. Maybe there is no other way that the system can handle a distributor refund. Question is will there now be further similar refunds on this sale?

Cryptoprocta Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 11 minutes ago, Bryan said: Should be safe now, surely?? Not necessarily, I had a refund months after a sale. However, newspaper uses seem often to be reported as a lump, often with the same date. Support says the dates aren't necessarily accurate as to use (when questioning use outwith the stated date range)(which IMO is 'odd' re RM, as it makes it very difficult to keep tabs).

Yes its a regular seller in the newspapers. As you say could be catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened once to me - and no refunds - I think they used the small images on several different pages and the larger one on the front page Good luck!
