Typical reasons why you've not received your payment yet
Once we've notified you that we're making a payment (note payment notifications are different to Sale notifications), we'll attempt to make that payment within 2 working days
The fastest way to receive your payment is to check the following - it could be that it is just waiting for an action within your PayPal account:
- Check your PayPal account isn't restricted: When we attempt to make a payment and your account is restricted, PayPal will reject the payment. To check if this is the case - please see the following step by step guide by PayPal: How do I remove limitations from my account If this is the case, the initial payment attempt will have failed, at the beginning of the following month we'll re-attempt to make the payment, so long as you've removed the restrictions on your account the payment should go through as normal the following month.
- Payment not yet "Claimed" from your PayPal account: Some accounts are setup where you have to approve each transaction or potentially you've not completed the PayPal setup process. Please check your PayPal account is fully setup and the payment isn't in PayPal waiting for your approval, see 'Claiming payment' above for instructions.
- Balance not yet over £10: If you've received a sale notification, if the amount accrued isn't over £10 we'll keep a tally and as soon as it reaches £10 we'll send you an email letting you know payment is on its way- see 'Claiming payment' above for more info.
- Payment hasn't been received from our Partner yet: Sometimes the there is a bit of a delay between once we receive notification from a Partner that they want to purchase your video and them using it / paying us. Once we receive payment from them, we'll split this with you. Please see this article for more information When will I be paid.
