DigitalPoint Member Not Paying for Work

I did some work, article writing, for a guy on here a couple of weeks ago and emailed him the article. He's posted the 2000 word article on his blog on the 19th of February and I've emailed him asking his thoughts on the article, and nudging him for payment, to 2 seperate email addresses, and sent him a PM on here (he hasn't been online since I sent it). He's posted 5 or so more articles on the blog since he posted mine, yet hasn't got back to any of my messages.

He's got 3 positive iTraders on here, with one commenting that his payment was "superfast". I don't want to give him a neg. iTrader just yet because he was good to work with, I'm just annoyed about the payment situation. Can anyone suggest any more ways to get in touch (apart from posting a comment under the article on his blog!), or any more ways to get payment? Perhaps I should send him a PayPal invoice and see if he responds to that?

Thanks

 

good to work with? you wrote the articles with him...

There's nothing worse than not getting paid, I see no good in this

 

hmm the only thing I can see is he obvious don't want to pay for the work and is ignoring you

I had something similar happen to me on dp but it was the other way around I paid for work and the person kept ignoring me and making excuses

End results never did finish my site I would demand payment if I was you

 

yeah, makingafriend is right! This person is not willing to pay you anymore no matter what you do.

 

been happening a lot lately. I may have to report a few people tomorrow. If nothing is done about those few I'm done with DP

 

Maybe guy has some trouble or something and he can't replay to your messages. Remember it's not all about business
I had similar experience a day ago, and I'm really hoping that I'll get my money.
Anyway, I hope that everything works out well for you.

 

send him paypal invoice, if he really wants to pay then he will accept it

 

Just take this as a lesson to always seek payment first before sending work.

 

Send him a paypal invoice for sure. Put a note in the invoice that you expect payment within 24 hours. After the 24 hours I would most definitely leave him negative itrader.
If he has truly ran out on you, and it sounds like he did, then visit his blog and comment on 'your' articles. I am a writer too and I hope I don't get him....
