zone3 1 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Curious question...all sales at alamy are in pounds( when I view their website) and as a Canadian I am paid in US $ then converted to Can $...quite the roundabout but..If for say a sale if for $150 Pounds...all we get is $150 US which for a $ conversion is incorrect....that would be about $195 US...then $255 Can....am I missing something? thanks Link to post Share on other sites
RedSnapper 1,045 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 all sales are in $US km Link to post Share on other sites
Cryptoprocta 781 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 all sales are in $US km So, here in the UK, I see prices in UK£. So a UK buyer presumably pays in UK£, but I'm reported a US$ price, then I'm paid in UK£. So in that scenario, am I losing in conversion rates / charges twice? Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Morgan 967 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 You should find that in the UK the price in pounds is different than we here in North America whose prices are in US Dollars. For example - Presentation is shown as 10 pounds to UK contributors but $15US to North American contributors. (wish I had the pounds symbol on my keyboard) Jill Link to post Share on other sites

(wish I had the pounds symbol on my keyboard) Jill That does seem to be the case, also some differences between what Canadian and US buyers see. Try Alt 156 for the £ symbol. It works on my clunky PC (Firefox). P.S. Useful list of Alt codes here Edited July 22, 2016 by John Mitchell 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor Chriss 81 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Also weird as I am in UK and see prices in ($), always have. Link to post Share on other sites
domf 103 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 When you first sign up with Alamy insn't there an option to be paid in US$, UK pound or Euro, and that what is shown on your web page. Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor Chriss 81 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 As I recall you can select how to be paid but prices are only shown in US$. I have always believed that can not be changed. I might be wrong but please don't tell my wife, it has taken me years to convince her I am always right. Link to post Share on other sites
Armstrong 427 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'm in the UK. Prices are in £'s for me. Are any of the people who are not seeing prices in their home currency using something like a VPN? Link to post Share on other sites
Cryptoprocta 781 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I just went into IE (I usually use FF), cleared all history, cookies etc etc and clicked on an Alamy image and it was priced in UK£, as I would expect. Link to post Share on other sites

But is it important? In my opinion the main thing - that the sales were, in principle, but with no conversion problems. Link to post Share on other sites
