I've been waiting almost three weeks for a payment (requested 30th Nov) I know they are slow at times but this is the longest I've ever waited. I did email support with a query but no reply as of yet. Anyone else waiting three weeks or more for their money?

Eireann · « **Reply #1 on:** December 19, 2010, 15:43 »

Good to know I'm not the only one

Requested payment (PayPal) on the 3-rd of December.
No money yet, no support ticket sent.
Well, I guess this delay has something to do with the holidays season. But that's why I asked for payment in the first place ... So many gifts to buy and never enough money

A friend of mine is waiting sice December 1st

Tomboy2290 · « **Reply #3 on:** December 19, 2010, 16:35 »

ah . . . thanks for the replies, helpful to know I'm not the only one . . . and yes it is annoying because the money would be very handy for xmas expenses. Sales have been really good at FT this month and I have even more money sitting there that I can't access . . . three weeks is way too long.

leaf · « **Reply #4 on:** December 19, 2010, 17:03 »

Yep, waiting for Dec 1st request here too.

Tomboy2290 · « **Reply #5 on:** December 19, 2010, 17:50 »

hmmm perhaps a lot of people have requested payout for christmas spending and they are having problems with that

. . . shouldn't be so though

leremy · « **Reply #6 on:** December 19, 2010, 20:32 »

Similar problem for me.
Have been requesting since 1st Dec. No payment yet.
Dropped them an email about this, they said they will look into it.

Odd. As usual, I requested payment the evening of the 30th my time (December 1st theirs), and I had the money on the 3rd. They've been consistently prompt with me, averaging around a week to pay off.

Same here. I requested it on the 1st and received it on the 3rd.

Weird...I've already received two payments this month.

My guess is that the currency you are paid in dicates the office that administers your payment. I last requested on the 12th and received it on the 17th (GBP).

Tomboy2290 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 20, 2010, 15:16 »

Got this reply from FT support . . .

Hi,
We apologize for the delay. We have forwarded your request to our payment department for review. Please note that during the holiday season there is a high volume of conversion requests and they are working as hard as they can to process all of these requests.

Kind regards,

Fotolia Team U.S

You guys are gonna hate me. I submitted a request today, and got it in my PayPal account today. No idea how or why, but I'm not complaining.

PayPal - US Dollars here too.
But unlike Helix, I'm still waiting ... (3-rd of December).
I've never been lucky

Sandralise · « **Reply #23 on:** December 21, 2010, 11:12 »

I'm also still waiting from the 1st of December. Very strange.
I can't remember this ever happening before for me.

I'm in the US, too. However, I went through the very same delayed payment issue for several months earlier this year when no one else seemed to be having a problem. Am I now one of only a handful getting paid on time?
