    Last month, this option costs me 25% deduction in my YPN earnings,

    Can anyone explain what this really is? I really don't get it. :mad:

    Its probably just taxes. I think they hold it back because you didn't give them your FEIN or SS numbers yet. Not sure how they work but thats my gut feeling.

    I gave them my SSN but I didn't check the "I'm exempt from backup witholding" box.

    Now that I checked that one, let's see how much money went to my bank account.
