Review Title: Very slow payers and hardly any sales
Review Description: As a photographer I upload images to many stock agencies but I can honestly say that this company are the slowest payers I know, waiting months to be paid, as other contributors have noted. Also don't expect to sell many images, I have a few thousand and barely sell one image per month. Very disappointed with this company.

Review Title: Can’t close my account
Review Description: You have to contact them to close your contributor account and they just ignore you and don't respond. I don't know what to do any more and will have to waste my time and money hiring a lawyer just to do something as simple as shutting my account. Absolutely pathetic.

Review Title: Speaking as a supplier, you won’t be retiring any time soon – if at all.

Review Title: Speaking as a supplier, you won’t be retiring any time soon – if at all.
Review Description: Speaking as a supplier and a professional photographer for over 30 years.They sell images for peanuts and take forever to pay you, plus you have to have reached certain level on monies outstanding before they pay you which, can take a rather long time given the paltry sums they sell them for in the first place. Some of the terms they allocate to a purchaser are are somewhat open ended & rather dubious to my mind and therefore easily able to be misinterpreted.

Review Description: absolutely a complete waste of time and effort - not in the same league as the competitors - my advice - don't waste your energy - go with the other agencies out there

Review Description: I’ve been on here for a few years and have to agree they’re an absolute waste of time in every sense. The length of time it takes for images to be graded is ridiculous! I’ve never received not one sale in the years I’ve been contributing and it makes no sense for the grades I receive. The only thing they use to be good for is the scoring if you are new to photography and to be quite frank if they’re not selling then you have to question the grading quality.

Review Title: Show me the money!
Review Description: I don't have very many images with Alamy but noticed one of my images was sold yet I show no sales. There's some flimsy verbiage on their FAQs about having to wait on the customer to get the funds. And it can take up to 3 months! Do they really ever pay out? I am skeptical. Who can investigate whether or not they're fraudulent?

Review Title: Alamy is a crook site
Review Description: Alamy is a crook site. They do sell images that are protected by a copyright (i.e. images from the British Museum, the MET, etc). I do not understand why the relevant institutions do not take any measure to stop this.

Review Title: Photo Error.
Review Description: Photo Error. Searching the web I came across an Image taken in the Tarra Bulga NP. The image states the Fungus in the Image is Mycena leaiana. The ID is incorrect this is Galerina patagonica this species has an annulus which is obvious in the image.
