Just asking - how can a photo sell for $0.00?

 

Thanks in advance

We have now reached ridiculous and dangerous levels.
I just sold a photo, in Italy, for 1 dollar.
Tell me how I can overcome the threshold of 250 dollars a year.
I have sold a nice number of photos, but with these prices you neither earn well nor exceed the levels.
Taken for total bottoms. I'm getting bored.

 

I've had quite a few ~$1 sales. They mix in with $$ and $$$ sales (for now!)

$250 threshold? - photograph what sells and bigger portfolio... (not trying to be condescending, but it's relatively easy to reach $250 gross. Might help that I'm in the UK, but most of what I license are 'home studio' shots).

Please provide some information. Cut and paste the sales information.

On the dashboard it shows as $0.00 - but on details it shows $0.15 - so no problem - hadn't looked at details - I assume because it is a low sale that amount doesn't show on  dashboard.

 

Thanks for the answer

I thought Alamy were going to 'review' this appalling PA syndication deal. 

 

I've found mine used hundreds of regional newspaper sites in article written by a PA journalist. 

 

I wonder what the journalist gets paid and indeed what PA media charge the clients.

Same here.

Also from the article one of my images was duplicated on Alamy in the PAMedia collection,  captioned, keyworded by somebody else and attributed to PAImages.

In reply to my 'polite' e-mail they replied that:

 

'We have reminded PA  Media of the process and the difference between when they are acting as a customer and when they are a contributor.'.

This is not a sale, it is a donation.

Sell only with money. The world has changed nowadays.

Cameras, lenses, all of this is donated by manufacturers to us photographers. Joke.
