Hi I'm hoping someone can help me on this....

I requested my first payout at I-stock on Nov. 17. The paypal schedule said payouts for paypal payment request deadline is 11/23. So, I got my request in before the deadline. Then, the calander shows the actual payout date for paypal to be Nov. 30th (which is today). Shouldn't I be receiving my payout today?

I would appreciate any insight about this subject that anyone may be able to provide. Its my first time, so I'm sort of confused about the process.

THANKS!

I just noticed that thread too. Apparently Paypal payouts at IS are delayed until tomorrow (Tues 12-01-09).

The normal rule for iStock payments through PayPal is that you have must make your payment request before Monday at 09:00 MST (2 hrs behind EST, and 7 hours behind UCT). Unless there's some sort of problem at iStock - like there is today - you'll receive your payment one week later.

On a related note, the normal schedule for December has been changed to accomodate the Xmas holidays:
... we’re changing the cut off time for all payouts to December 18, 2009 at 12 p.m. (Noon) MST. We will pay all of these payout requests on Monday December 21st, but will not have another cut off time until December 31, 2009 at 12 p.m. (Noon MST) All payout requests made between December 18th and December 31st will be paid out the following week according to our regular payout schedule.

The iStock payout schedule for 2010 can be found here.

After getting screwed over by a request istock said they didn't get in time (though it was ahead of the cut off date and time and I had the confirmations from them to prove it) I started putting my requests in 2 days before the cut off and that seems to work without a hitch. I would not leave it to the last day if you really want the money because I think they get deluged and backlogged with requests that may come in in time but simply don't get processed in time.

I wondered. Was supposed to get a payout yesterday.
