Royalty Payment Methods - Your Feedback Needed
      


Hi SnapVillage Contributors -
Many of you have requested that we add royalty payment methods besides PayPal. We’ve heard from some that this is preventing them from signing up as they don’t live in a country supported by PayPal. Others have had issues with existing accounts, especially with PayPal’s restrictions on unverified foreign accounts.
This is frustrating [...]

Before you do that you need to come up with a better way of showing how much someone has earned. The only way I can find is to go through all the statements and add them up.

I was one of those writing to them. My PayPal account is locked after reaching $100 of payments, and I can't get it verified with accounts/cards in the country where I live (Thailand). Very, very annoying.....   

I e-mailed them twice that they must please add Moneybookers to their payment options since PayPal is not supported in my country. They replied that they have no immediate plans to do that, upon which I have closed my account there.  Even if they add Moneybookers now I doubt if I will re-open an account there.  Too little too late I am afraid.

Well I just got a pleasant surprise this morning after not logging in for about 1 week. Going through the royalty puzzle I found a
$ 15.00 sale . Maybe these guys might work after all for me.

I also get sales there occasionally. That doesn't help much though, since I don't have access to the money. I'm sure PayPal is happy to keep them though

Hi litifeta -

You're 100% right!
We totally dropped the ball on this workflow. It's terrible right now.

We're definitely going to tackle entirely revising the way SnapVillage contributors track royalties and the way they are paid.

Hi Epixx -

I know this is frustrating.
We're looking into ways around this now, and want to consider other ways to pay you all royalties earned.

Hi Litifeta -

Thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear it. I'll work hard to keep SnapVillage moving up a few notches more.
We've got an awesome team in place now and we're really excited about what the next six months are going to bring....
