    You'll get paid the month after on the 15th, so it's a 15 day hold.

    I want to ask the same question. Did anyone receive payment for 16-31 december period? I have a high xxx amount with them. Any idea when they pay? Its my first payment since they changed name to marketbay so i have no idea about their new terms.

    I haven't received mine either. I was having a much slower month with them in December so I switched my payment method over to PayPal as it has a much lower minimum than bank wire. In previous months when I was getting paid by bank wire I usually got my payment a day or two early so it's not like them to be late.

    U haven't received payment either - wish I had stayed with bank wire! I have always been paid on time by wire, so I'm surprised they're late on these payments.

    Has anyone received a payment by paypal in the past? If so, did it get to you on time?

    I received the same email. 48 hours are gonna end soon. No payment yet. I think we have to switch networks. The Adblaze scammer did the same some months ago. I hate these cheap scammers. What do you guys think? Is marketbay just gonna disappear now? or will they keep collecting free traffic as long as they can?

    I think you're overreacting - these guys have always paid on time and they have a much larger network than adblaze (that guy was pure scum - still hasn't paid a dime to affiliates).

    Nobody that gets paid by wire has said that they haven't been paid, it's just paypal. And we all know how much of a pain paypal can be to deal with, might be an issue they are having with them. Personally, I think it's a hassle but I'm confident we'll get our money.

    Great, but they could have given an appropriate time frame. They said it'll be done within 48 hours, they could have given a large time frame if it wasn't really possible within 48 hours. I'm not in a hurry, just wanna make sure whether i got scammed or not.

    I'd rather suggest any scammer to not make others to wait for long, just tell them right away that you scammed. I feel better when I'm told right away by the scammer :)

    It's the "Suspense" that one finds difficult to handle.

    I hear ya - until we're paid there will be some nervousness. But these guys don't have the mark of scammers - Adblaze was shady right from the start. Late payments, a huge drop in conversions, changing networks without telling anyone and having affiliates miss out on sales because of old links - you could tell they weren't on the up and up.

    However marketbay seems to have been doing things "right" from the start. Hopefully this is just the case of having some issues with paypal as I know new merchant based accounts can run into problems with sending/uploading limits. We shall see.......

    Yeah, you are right. I wasted some money promoting that adblaze scammer. Not only money, i wasted the time i could have put elsewhere.. anyways, I learnt a lesson, not to promote any noob network.

    There are similar programs on plimus. Its a nice network. I think the market bayers will lose many affiliates due to all this ****. I'm changing some of my links right now (just have the php file to change and its done!) Really don't wanna waste anymore traffic.

    Atleast, they could ask for more time at the end of 48 hours?

    I got the same "48 hours" email off them after I'd emailed them to ask where my money was. I replied asking would it be possible to pay me by bank wire instead as it turned out my payment was just over the minimum and got told that wasn't possible as the money had already been sent to PayPal. They also told me they'd heard it would be resolved "today" but that was Tuesday. I sent them another chaser email after it had been 48 hours but so far I haven't heard anything back.

    I've heard that other people got paid by bank wire on time so the issue does seem to be PayPal specific. I'm guessing PayPal has blocked their account and they're trying to get that resolved.

    They deal mostly in p2p programs, that are not fully legal. Could it be the reason why they are having paypal trouble? Paypal isn't bad but it is too strict about such things.

    Not sure what to think - I was told by email it would be done Wednesday, then yesterday at midnight, and today I was told they were "just being sent right now", but still nothing.

    Anyone else get their cash yet?

    Hi lh, nope I didn't get it too.

    Yeah, even the next payment is scheduled for a week later. I doubt whether we'll get it on time (if at all)

    Just got paid guys - you should get it soon if it isn't there already.

    I got charged fees thru paypal though - Cost me $35. I thought they would at least cover any transfer fees but I guess not. That's annoying.
