Title: StockXpert payment
Post by: leaf on April 20, 2006, 12:09
has anyone else recieved payment from stockxpert yet?

I just qualified for my first payout and chose paypal. It was sent as a credit card payment however :(  I have all my microstock earnings sent to a personal account (as apposed to a premier or business account) so that paypal does not deduct 4%. The problem is however that a personal account can't accept credit card payments.

StockXpert is the only one who has used a credit card to make a payment (rather odd I.M.O) ... not sure if this is going turn into a confusing mess or what :S

anyone have any experience with them?

Maybe this has something to do with the post 'Stockxpert closing?'  Or maybe someone is trying to boost their frequent flyer miles.

Sorry to hear you got caught out by that one for future payments can you change the e-mail address? So you can set up a premier/business account.

Just switched one of my paypal accounts to a personal one (I had to ask twice) so if I get a $50 dollar transfer made from Fotolia beside the exchange rate from dollars to Pounds stirling will there be any other deductions?

No there shouldn't be.

As long as it goes to a personal paypal account if you earn $100 on a micro site (including stockXpert), you should see $100 in your paypal account.

Cool the only payments I have ever received were from ebay from credit cards so it was 30c + 2-3% commission every time.

Allright, I just thought I would follow up on this

This is what they wrote back to me.

We learned only recently that users may be charged if we send money from
a credit card. We're working on setting up a US bank account and a new
Paypal account that we can use for bank transfer payments, and that way
you won't be charged. This will be completed within about 2 weeks.

Here's a topic about the issue:

There are 2 things that we can do:

1. You reject the Paypal payment, your earnings go back to your account
and you request it again as soon as we set the account up

2. I can send you the payment + fees so you won't lose any money.

Please tell me which would be better for you.



nice to see they are taking care of this in a timely matter.
