Does anyone out there know how the payout system works at 123rf. Evidently it's all automatic, but when does it kick in and how? I sent them an email about it but have heard nothing (no suprise there then)! Ta.

You can specify the pay-out amount (min $50) on: http://www.123rf.com/changeinfo.php
Payouts are processed automatically every 15th of the month after you reached the specified amount (or there-abouts)
They pay-out the accumulated amount reached at the end of the previous month, which is deducted from your account by the 15th. (At least, that's what happened prior to my June '10 payout; They did pay me on July 15, but the paid-out amount hasn't been subtracted from my earnings, yet)
