Re: A Serious Payment Suggestion

Hmm....I think you do need to have a physical address in the United States and a backup account to apply for the Pay Pal Debit. For anyone interested to know more, I did find one article about it here on AC: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/10712/a_look_at_the_paypal_debit_card.html?cat=46 Y...

Double Payment on Feb 2nd?

Hey everyone,

I've already contacted support about this, but it looks like I was accidentally paid double my amount due on Feb 2nd. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm assuming it was a glitch in the system and not a surprise bonus!

Re: A Serious Payment Suggestion

I access my Pay Pal account from Pakistan and I haven't had any problems. I got a Pay Pal debit card/ATM which allows me to draw the money out anywhere in the world for only a $1 fee. That is much better than the $5 on my Bank of America card for international ATM transactions. The Pay Pal debit acc...

Re: Status Waiting - Article Disappeared

I had a few articles put into a customer's cart for purchase but then the customer did not cash out. After a while, I think it was a few weeks, the articles that had still not been paid for went back to being marked as unsold. I seems the system will reserve the customer's order, but only for a set ...

Re: Need to Know from You

I would agree with Barry about increasing the font size or trying to make the Writer Guidelines link stand out more. I just submitted two articles, and I had not even noticed the link. After reading this thread, I went back and looked for it. I think once writers get used to using the submission for...

Re: Honesty From Customers - Licence Cheats!

I agree, everything else on CC has been great. Unfortunately nobody can really control the customers and what they do. I think in my case the guy just didn't know what kind of license he wanted and didn't read the license information thoroughly. I've learned my lesson, but I just wish it had been wi...

Re: Stationery Articles Purchased as Usage and Used asFullRights

Part 2 (power went out for an hour, we're on an hour off an hour in Lahore, Pakistan right now!) 9) I then collected the articles already approved, plus several more, and submitted them in 3 files under the private request. Since in my dialogues with the customer we'd always discussed usage rights, ...

Re: Stationery Articles Purchased as Usage and Used asFullRights

Thanks so much for the helpful replies. What happened with this particular customer was something like this: 1) I wrote a few articles to answer the public request and posted them on the Q & A 2) The customer replied that he did not want to pay more than X amount per article 3) I adjusted the us...

Stationery Articles Purchased as Usage and Used asFullRights

I recently sold 12 articles for usage rights. All were written for a public request on stationery items. I checked on the web to see where the articles ended up, and I was saddened to see that the only two that have my byline are the ones I requested to not have my byline! All articles have been pos...
