mchebby Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I sold 3 images in March and April, totaling $98. It says on my contributor homepage that $27 has cleared, its now June 24th, how long does it take for all 3 sales to clear so I can get paid?

John Mitchell Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 It can take up to 90 days, even longer. Impossible to predict really. I have an outstanding sale from 2009. Hopefully Alamy hasn't given up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Jordan Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 My recent experience is that payments come through quite regularly about 3 months in arrears. I have 47 sales this year, March was an exceptional month with 19 sales, of these all have been cleared except one, a distributer sale on 10th March. The next longest uncleared is from 25th April. All you can do is wait, but based on my experience you could expect to get cleared in July maybe paid 1st August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 March and April should be clear now. The minimum is 45 days and most sales clear on the dot. Others, not so quick. The Evening Standard is being a bit tardy at the moment- I've got two coming up to 90 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dov makabaw Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 How long is a piece of string. If it is paid within 90 days consider yourself lucky. If it is unpaid after 6 months contact MS. Good luck - 3 sales with only 100 images is a really great start - congratulations. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I made my first sale I had 144 images, and then there were only about 3 million on Alamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised you are doing well already. Unfortunately it can take a very long time for sales to actually clear. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Hobson Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 This one hasn't even been reported yet.... http://janehobson.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Tearsheets/G0000bXwWccO5fnA/I0000RpgqbzOAkTQ and I'm still waiting to be paid for two reported sales from 2012. Who knows how many have been used but not reported...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
