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

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?

Several months Karimala? You weren't paid for several months?

Oops...LOL No. What I meant to say was for several months I was getting paid every 2-3 weeks instead of within a week.

i am too waiting since dec 1st. Always request the 1st of each month and usually is paid within a week.

Tomboy2290 · « **Reply #28 on:** December 21, 2010, 19:02 »

Well I am feeling a little better not to be the only one . . . but not much!

I'm pretty annoyed because I suspect this might be a tactic to manage their cash flow? Because if you are still waiting for a payout you are locked out of requesting anymore money until you are paid . . . sales are booming and my money is piling up untouchable.

Im from 1st December also.

THANK YOU CHAD AND FOTOLIA. Merry FUC****G CHRISTMAS WITHOUT MONEY AND GIFTS! YOU ARE MY NR ONE AND SPECIAL.

Still nothing . . .

Still nothing ...
And it's too late for Christmas gifts anyway. Only one day left ... too late.

Still nothing and veeeery disappointed with FT!!!
I noticed in the the FT forum that hardly anyone is complaining or it's because have most have been paid.

sc · « **Reply #33 on:** December 23, 2010, 11:00 »

Weird - I requested payment on the 16th and got it on the 20th.

I have contacted suport and they said: (Translated from spain by me)

We apologize for the dalate. Unfortunately because to the grat volume of petitions with the chrismas nearby our payment dept. is quite busy but making all they can to finish them as soon as possible. We ask you for a little more time please. Your payment will be made ASAP.

That's the same reply I got but going by what others are saying (that they got paid as normal) that excuse doesn't stand up . . .

Wow...I requested my third payment this month only a few hours ago, and it just arrived! And everyone else is still waiting? That's just weird.

Tomboy2290 · « **Reply #37 on:** December 24, 2010, 03:32 »

My payment has come through at last, hope everyone else got theirs, Happy Christmas!

leaf · « **Reply #38 on:** December 24, 2010, 04:56 »

yep, same here. Requested (US$) on the 1st, and just got paid today. Hope others who have been waiting get paid soon as well.

I just got my payment today...so cheer up guys it is comming.

lisafx · « **Reply #41 on:** December 24, 2010, 09:54 »

I just got a payout today too. I think they must have been working to get everyone paid out before Christmas.

Probably there will be another payout before the end of the year, if I were to guess. Just to get the accounting ducks in a row.

Hope everyone who's waiting gets theirs in the next few hours.

donding · « **Reply #42 on:** December 24, 2010, 11:02 »

I'm no longer with Fotolia, but it will be interesting to see how they handle the tax situation. Don't know if they changed their policy but with their withholding of taxes on some they will need to pay out what is owed by the end of the year rather you have met payout or not.

arquiplay77 · « **Reply #43 on:** December 24, 2010, 12:58 »

Yes, mine is here too. Hope next month doesné take so long.

melking · « **Reply #44 on:** December 24, 2010, 14:10 »

I got my payout today as well!! took 24 days!

fritz · « **Reply #45 on:** December 25, 2010, 17:23 »

Still waiting.......
Probably will get next year.

Tomboy2290 · « **Reply #46 on:** December 25, 2010, 22:33 »

Requested another payout. Let's see how long this one takes

Sandralise · « **Reply #47 on:** December 25, 2010, 23:02 »

Received my payment Friday the 24th!!

djpadavona · « **Reply #48 on:** December 27, 2010, 04:10 »

I don't request payments very often at Fotolia.

I've never sold jack there. I really don't know why, I feel like I do pretty well for myself, for being part of the long tail. Seriously I've made more at BigStock since November 1st than I have at Fotolia. I just don't get it.

Dreamstime 7x Fotolia this month
iStock 17x Fotolia this month
Shutterstock 18x Fotolia

I had similar figures there in my prior non-exclusive days. And yes I do rank my keywords for them, although I will likely stop wasting time with that aspect since I never get sales anyhow.

requested 13-Dec, got it today the 27th. 2 weeks isn't too unusual...
