pierre rochon Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) I just got this in my latest sale statement: "22/6/2021","22/6/2021","","","","","Other fees","Rev/Manual credit - C95GTB",0.0000,-20.0000,-20.0000,"" (stated as "other fees" in the Net revenue sales report). Did any of you had $20 deducted from your account the same way and do you have the precise explanation for that fee? Edit: I just noticed the pic number. It looks like an "adjustment" for a $40 sale from the month of April. Edited June 22, 2021 by pierre rochon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanderingemu Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 there are a few other reports in other thread. If an adjustment for a $40 sale, for which at most you would have gotten $20 that is a full refund. Is this even allowed in the current contract?

Janis D Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I had five $20 "other fees" debits today. A few months ago I had three or four, each less than $5. If it's an adjustment, why wouldn't it be listed as a refund and another sale at a lower price? Sent off a note to contributors@alamy, and imagine I'm not the only one. "Other fees" is way too vague (not to mention annoying); if they're not going to provide more info than that, they should expect a lot of questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 - $60 (3 x$20) for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kuta Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I had two $20 Other Fees today. For me, they corresponded to two $20 Other Income (or Manual Credit in the Account Balance report) entries in early May, which I had concluded were in error and would be reversed. For the long-story version, see my "In the wrong direction again" thread a little farther down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanderingemu Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 and still no comments from Alamy. Maybe a blog post to explain what these extra funds are funding this time. 😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Two of the mysterious "other fees" debits totalling $3.16 showed up on my sales report today. That amount is more than I netted from two of the few sales that I've made this month. 🙁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB Photography Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) My two sales must have been through an Alamy Affiliate Partner which is basically anyone with a website that has a link to Alamy and has signed up as an Affiliate. They get 15% of the gross sale. TopCashback is an Affiliate. 12.15. The Alamy Commission for Content sales made via an Affiliate will reflect that of the applicable commission model as specified in the Alamy Commission Table and will include a 15% Affiliate and affiliate provider fee in respect of the License Fee. These seem to be associated with sales that occurred under the old contact. Edited August 31, 2021 by MB Photography Additional content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can bring good customers, great use them, if they are only getting people who want cheap low cost purchase, drop the affiliate- they bring 0 value. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCat Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I've had two and they were some of my very best sales at $500 so I am very fond of that affiliate, whoever they are. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulette but how do you know these clients would not have bought without the link? What did you pay 15% for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
