Maybe have a look at your January sales to see if there are sales there which match the refund 🤔 Edited March 10, 2022 by AlanW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VbFolly Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I had 3 January sales refunded and resold at slightly lower prices today. I also had a similar refund and resale earlier this month - that resale was for slightly more. I don't know the reason, but in each case it happened a day or two before they were due to clear.  This means none of these 4 sales will clear for another 45 days - very annoying! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Just had 4 refunds come in for licences back in January over 100 Euro's worth so no small beans. 🤬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Standfast Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I've had 8, all but one with a higher deduction.  Waiting to see what happens overnight. If it does'nt self right then I'll email Alamy. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 All very strange. People buying then getting a refund at the same moment . Maybe see them as sales show up tomorrow for much more money 💰 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Standfast Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 This mornings sales report provides some clarity.  8 sales from the 27th Jan refunded yesterday and then replaced for a few pennies less today.  Only real damage is the integrity of the sales report.  It's a bit clumsy but not as bad as watching the news.  Stay safe. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 These refunds were also for sales on 27th January, very odd indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Harrison Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Mine was from 6th March, refunded yesterday 10th March and immediately sold again for £0.06 less, a low low $ sale anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sally Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) These are all sales for The Times/Sun newspapers. I had 15 refunded and resold for a little less. Presumably an adjustment of the rate for images used that month as the price depends on the total used. Edited March 11, 2022 by Sally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already held the fund for a significant period.  My worse case was a late September Sale, that was cancelled on December 17. The Sale suddenly re-appears one month later, with a licence date of December 17??? and the 45 days now start again From mid-January. (was cleared exactly 45 day from this latest, so there was no issue)  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanderingemu Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Related is fact that Alamy still has not addressed how these refunds will affect people's Level under the new contract. If i look at my example above, had this been in June/July, I may have dropped level, and then only got 20% of the sale, and find myself at 20% in the 2022-23 payment year.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewP Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I always thought the reason for the price difference of a few cents was that the buyer has re-purchased at the same price in their own currency but the foreign exchange rate has changed slightly hence the slight difference in price showing in our account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
