Constant Content

When you write for a request and the article is approved, how long is it reasonable to wait for a purchase? I cant remember the normal limits as I havent worked here for a while, until recently. Am I right that they should buy within 2 weeks or so? Cheers!

Thanks for that WG! The email I got didnt mention Stripe: it just asked for my bank details so CC could send me the money direct, I think.. I think maybe it's because I am in the UK. The sender (cant remember her name) said that it was a temporary fix, and there would be a long term solution hopeful...

I got the email today but I am uncomfortable about giving the info they want. I imagine one would get paid, but there could still be problems later on if the information isn't kept secure. Is there anyone here with knowledge of this sort of issue who could advise? Cheers!

I got another email from an alleged customer (name ended in 888) inviting me to open attachments. I am pretty sure its another malicious one like one that several people received in April or May, so watch out!

I downloaded it stupidly and have had endless trouble since. Now on internet at public library having been locked out of computer and phone and all contacts deleted! SO DONT DOWNLOAD. I have told CC too.

Too late for me, I downloaded it. They took over my paypal account and its a uk bank hol today so I cant contact paypal about it. GRRR! just hoping that they havent got hold of anything else!

Thanks Mx Gun, I suppose I can try that.

I would like to change my forum user name because I find that my infrequent posts here appear in a Google search of my name, although I had assumed the forum was private. My actual name was used as an id here by Eric, who set up my login when I was having problems with doing that. Anyone know how to...

Well done, and thanks for posting a happy comment! I am searching desperately for reasons to be cheerful!

I am probably not the right person to answer as I don't quite understand the question but I'll have a go...Did the customer submit a private request for you through CC, which you then accepted? If so then you select 'private request' when you submit, and the title of the request then appears in anot...

If it's the travel website, they have always come through in my experience. In any case, any writer pool request that you have claimed, written and submitted, should be reviewed. Mine took a while to be reviewed too this time, I imagine that there were quite a few coming in around or after the deadl...

That's not an automatic rule...it depends on the reasons for rejection. I doubt if you've put yourself in jeopardy there! They should really spell it out that they don't want submissions on those topics, to be fair.

Yes, you'll be fine. I don't usually claim those ones because I don't like the feeling of being late...I wish they would just shift the due date by a day or so! But if you've successfully claimed and submitted there shouldn't be a problem.

You should be able to change the price by editing the amount shown. Don't forget to click on 'save changes.I just changed one that way so it should be working.....'

Thanks, both. It was a private request, one of two that the customer sent following a casting call which I responded to (unusual for me). Yes, the revision was free, and I was a bit grumpy about doing it, so I suspect that the customer may not buy the other private request article now. Never mind! B...
