Wrote articles but haven't been paid yet

    Hi all, I hope someone could help me with my question.

    There's a member here at DP who was looking for article writers. I offered my services and wrote articles for him. No upfront payment, though. Unfortunately it's been days and he hasn't replied to any of my emails and PM's.

    Should I now offer these articles for sale? Or do I still continue to contact this member? How long should one wait before action can be done? Also, what action can be done anyway?

    I hope someone can enlighten me. Thanks!

    You can place a negative iTrader in order to notify everyone of such behavior and you can post in the sales thread. Other than that, you're stuck -- it's up to you to make the call is to when you resell them.

    This thread is also misplaced -- it would be better off in the "Copywriting" section.

    Hello clookid, thank you for your response. I guess reselling the articles will be better off. I will also think about giving him a negative iTrader. Maybe give him a day or two more before I do so. It's really unfortunate - he's the first client that did this to me.

    Mods - sorry about the misplaced thread. I figured that since the "Suggestions and Feedback" category had this description - "This is also the place for questions regarding this forum" - I thought that this was the right category. Also, I noticed that there were several concerns in this category, hence, I just placed mine here.
