I just got a notice that my earning was paid. But it was about $10 less than the earned amount. They did not provide any explanations. What can it be?

Taxes?

they don't ... usually.
my guess is maybe you did not file the tax exempt form if you are in a country with a tax treaty
or that you are in a country without a tax treaty

so , they withhold tax. just that..without any more info re this matter.

I should have added that my tax form is in order. This is the last payment for 2015. All other payments were ok.

What is the correct email address to send? Thanks!

Just a thought (and we can only guess here). Usually the earning reset to zero (if you have exceeded the payout limit) on the first of each month. Because of the New Year etc mine didn't reset until a few days into the month so the total showing was including January earnings. Earnings for January 1 onwards will be paid in February.
If this isn't what has happened here then certainly contact them. Regards, David.
