Brian Vickers 13 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I've just been paid by Alamy for the first time (on 3rd Sept) ….I have set the payment option to be via paypal but nothing has arrived....I would have thought such a transfer would be immediate. Is this normal? Link to post Share on other sites

Lightphase - Neil 3 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I always take it when you get the email, that it means you have been put forward to payment. Once alamy does its thing it will appear in a day or two. Link to post Share on other sites
Cryptoprocta 1,185 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I didn't get an email (I don't think I ever do, or haven't for a long time), but my payment went into my bank (not PayPal) yesterday. So hopefully PP will be soon for those still waiting. Link to post Share on other sites

Roy Conchie 0 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) I note that PayPal are increasing the fee for receiving foreign currency payments soon but I'm not sure whether I should react? The Alamy sales are in US dollars but do Alamy convert my Dollar sales to Sterling before they send it to PayPal or do PayPal receive the funds in Dollars and then charge me a fee for receiving them? Anyone know? I'm UK based. Edited November 5, 2020 by Roy Conchie Link to post Share on other sites

I realise you might not want to do that but at least you won't pay any charges (in the UK). I receive GBP even though Alamy prices are in dollars. John. Link to post Share on other sites
Allan Bell 3,254 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I believe that Alamy mentioned some time ago that Paypal was sent a bulk payment with a list of recipients and PP sorts the payments out from their offices and that is why PP is not instant. Alamy will correct me if I am wrong. Allan Link to post Share on other sites

No charges made by PP as far as I know. At least no charges appear in the PP account. Allan Link to post Share on other sites
