Marathon Pundit Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I sold a picture in June and I've still not been paid. Here's the notation. "Royalty Free (RF)." Two pics I've sold since then I've not gotten money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Clemson Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Alamy's payment system is outlined here in contributor FAQ. Some payments may take longer, or in a very few cases never happen, because the customer fails to pay their bills. For the most part you will see your sale clear after about six weeks and payment to you will occur at the end of the month if your cleared balance exceeds $50. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaniMarkus Hasa Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) This is the answer I got from Alamy when I was asking about image use not reported after 3 months: "Distributors report their uses over a period of time and can take up to 4 months. If you therefore don’t see this in your sales history 4 months after the use date then pop us another email and we can chase it." It'll be 4 months tomorrow, still not reported. 🙂 Edited September 4, 2020 by JaniMarkus Hasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No help on that, but I have just mentioned an uncleared October sale to CR, and got a quick reply saying they're still on the case chasing payments. So maybe give them a couple more months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marathon Pundit Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Thanks for your help. As someone who has a regular job I don't understand why Alamy "sells" something but the funds aren't collected right away. Or at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some go bust so you and Alamy never get paid. It's a fact of life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at all. standard practice for regular customers. and it standard practice to extend deadline to meet your cash flow would you want your house builder to charge you daily for what he has provided? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
