Title: Canstock Fees
Post by: surpasspro on April 02, 2009, 09:40: Why is Canstock the only micro that I receive payments from that charge me paypal fees? Its bad enough that I rarely get payouts, but on top of it I have to pay fees.

Can you get pay by a check from CanStock?

Yes, but you have to have $100 to get a check, vs. $50 for paypal.

Up to now Canstock has been such a small agency that I don't know if they could qualify for masspay at paypal. Maybe with Fotosearch owning them and sales improving they can qualify now?

Worth sitemailing Duncan if its bothering you.

Zymmetrical as well, but it doesn't bother me so much since they pay 70% commission.

Actually in our recent move to monthly payouts on the 15th, the idea was to switch to mass payments (meaning, no fees on recipients end). There was an initial complication with this, but this months round should be fee-free.
