Well that "Dash for Cash" ended up being more like a marathon. Six years after earning around $75 from their 2010 upload bonus promotion I've finally got the money! One EL and 3 or so sub sales in the years since pushed me to less than $2 short of the payout. With hindsight, i don't think Corbis ever really liked or understood the microstock industry. A failed first attempt with the appallingly named Snap Village and then a poor second go with the Veer Marketplace - the budget section of their (rather full of itself) traditional Veer agency. Sadly, few of my images that are accepted and sell on other agencies met the "aesthetic qualities their clients expected". Ditching vital keywords to fit within their Controlled Vocabulary didn't help matters nor did a poorly maintained website which at one point went the best part of a year with a broken uploader. Glad to have my money? Yes. Sorry to see Veer go? No.
That said, spare a thought for those employees at Veer who will no longer have jobs. I have never had anything but friendly and helpful communication with them and back in the day Brian O'Shea did a storming job of helping contributors -both on SV and later Veer. End of an era.....

Anyone did not get their payment? Mine (44USD) was due to be paid on the 18th to my Paypal and still nothing... I see all of you have already received your pay. Is there any point in contacting them or they simply do dot react?

amabu

I havn't got mine yet either.

Received the payment advice on the 20 March, no payment of $89.83

No payment in my PayPal account

I have written them an email to ask about it

What more can you do!

No payment yet, but I'm not worried.
What I do wonder, is why they didn't wait with all these payments until they actually had closed.
I have a new sale of $1,05 now, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. So much extra work for them!

I got my payout the 18th, but still haven“t received it. Glad to see others have the same problem... guess it will show up eventually then.

Mine too.  But for some reason I am doing pretty good there this month.  Maybe people using up credits before they close?  They will owe me another payout in April.

Has anybody actually received a payment in March who was below the $100 threshold?

6 days later still no payment despite an email being sent and the automated reply saying they would get back in 1-2 days.

What concerns me is what happens when they close on March 30th?

Is there going to be anyone out there to answer the emails.

I got a payment a couple of days ago for $3.50. My account there had been closed for at least 2 years. I suspect it is for a sale(s) that came in after I closed my account and has been sitting there all this time.

Yes. I did for $17.05. My account had been closed for nearly 2 years and I wasn't aware there was any balance they owed me. I wrote to support but haven't heard anything back.

Edited to add that I heard back from Veer support this afternoon and they said there were royalties earned because files weren't pulled before the payment was processed (and as that was done by Veer for me, not by me, it's something they should have handled). He did apologize for not paying the money owed in 2014.

He also noted that there were some delays "There has been a delay in payments overall due to the transaction size..."

$99.94 received yesterday. It would be a shame to lose it. At least they passed away in good style.
