Slow month
Avpics replied to Alex Ramsay's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
As a system test, my blue number should today read 26103, but currently hasn't increased from 26073. My portfolio has caught up with yesterday's blue number of 26073, LN dated 21 Jan haven't appeared as stock. -

Now 26057, so it's on the move, slowly. -
Slow month
Avpics replied to Alex Ramsay's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
I'm not sure if it's 24 or 48 hours behind. LN from 18th Jan are in stock, but I didn't upload any further LN until 21st, which should pass over tomorrow. Edit: Blue number is 26073, portfolio says 26031. -
Slow month
Avpics replied to Alex Ramsay's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
I'm nearly forty short having been very busy shooting the last few days. I'm also waiting for sale reports from uses from major buyers from six months ago. Contacts with CR don't fill me with confidence that they regard it as that important. It's a sad situation when a business doesn't focus on solving it's core issues. -

Roughly half of a normal average month. The database is also back to its old ways in being many days behind and with Live News not going into stock. -
DACS Payback 2021
Avpics replied to losdemas's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
That's how I was thinking. I leave Alamy to claim for DACS in the UK because I don't believe I would see enough of the licences to claim direct, and that would be even more so for publications around the world. It would seem good business by Alamy to claim from payments any similar schemes those countries have in place, of which we'd get a share. -
DACS Payback 2021
Avpics replied to losdemas's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Email from iSxxxk 'Later this week, we will email you an invitation to sign and return a Payback Authorization Form for the ADAGP (Société des Auteurs dans les Arts Graphiques et Plastiques).' Are we missing out on similar 'DACS' schemes around the world? -
In my experience the same can be said of the major UK newspaper titles, with higher figures involved. At least if a distro gets away with it then you've only lost a few bucks.

I remain signed up to everything for that reason. Anything greater than zero adds to the pot one way or the other. I have a couple of athletes that frequently sell via distros in Scandinavian countries for not a lot each time, but it accumulates over time to reasonable totals.

DACS Payback 2021
Avpics replied to losdemas's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
So to confirm, the system allowed most of my entries but there's a minor issue with ISBN/ISSN numbers that is worth knowing should anyone else have issues. Carry on entering your other publications rather than assuming there's an issue with the site, unlike what I done! -
DACS Payback 2021
Avpics replied to losdemas's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Partly, it seems. The fourth publication that I've tried, works. I'll have to contact DACS about the non-working entries because I know that they are correct but it won't let me enter them. -

There seems to be an issue. In following your suggestion and logging out I've faced an error 400 -
DACS Payback 2021
Avpics replied to losdemas's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
No matter what first digit number or letter I enter into the ISBN/ISSN box I'm getting an 'Invalid ISBN or ISSN' message. Publication title box not accepting entry.
