Title: Fotolia Payment cycle
Post by: CJPhoto on October 11, 2006, 09:12

Has anyone figured out the fotolia (http://www.fotolia.co.uk/partner/39857) payment cycle.  Reading on their forums, they dont have one and just save up all requests until they can be bothered doing one, with the excuse being - multi currency receipts and payments are difficult.

I think this is one area fotolia (http://www.fotolia.co.uk/partner/39857) need to smarten up on, even if they say we only do it every second friday!

I am due a payment from fotolia (http://www.fotolia.co.uk/partner/39857) (ie over $50) but need it to hit my paypal account the same time as other payouts (ie the start of next month) as I need to transfer $100+ to my bank account to avoid fees (due to foriegn exchange).

Still doesn't solve the problem though.  We need to know that either:

- we will be paid within 3 days, or
- payments are processed weekly/fortnightly
- payments are processed following the end of each month.

A completely adhoc system which only gets started when there are complaints on the forum is not good enough.

Leaf - They have admitted in their fourm that there is no set time table.  If there was, we could work to it.
