Just a note and I don't know if anyone else mentioned it, Alamy pays by bank transfer. Last time I collected for myself I got almost nothing, because of the fees.

Yes, they could find more, but then they take 50% (or something?) so I get less. BUT... if I have to pay the bank fees, and I don't have as much data, then, it's possible, they are getting me more, the same or maybe less. 

I get paid via PayPal. Would have prefered bank transfer, at least before Brexit, because there would not have been any bank transfer fees for me then (unlike with paypal) , but it didn't work. I didn't get paid at all in the beginning and upon asking what was up with that they claimed my bank data was incorrect and the money was returned, but no matter how often I double- and triple- checked, by bank data was correct (I always paste it from a document on my computer anyways, to make sure there are no typos), so I could not offer them any different "correct" bank data and had to switch to PayPal.

DACS lets you use PayPal? I can switch back to my own filing and get more.

What? Now I am confused. No.  You said  "Alamy pays by bank transfer" and I said I get paid by PayPal from Alamy.

DACS, sorry, TYPO/Senior Moment = DACS, they only pay by bank transfer. Alamy pays me by Paypal.

Another possible loss for me would be, I doubt if Alamy claims my SS or AS license sales.

Got $24 last year, now it's only $4,25
