I just did. I use wire. Keep us posted on your status, margie.

:((

I've just sent my wire transfer info. I had to go to the bank first. Hmp.

I see. I hope all goes well. How long have you been writing for them? This isn't the first time you're supposed to be paid, is it?

yes, i am. the accountant said Monday, and now they said that they are having a problem with xoom and they want me to set up my wire transfer account. i have to check with my bank yet about this one but i rerequested them to process it using xoom NOW...



they owe me $250


now, i'm still waiting again.

what's up? I got the same message too... arrghh

@EW_writer: I hope they'd pay me this week. I've been writing for them for the past three months. This is the first time that payment has been like this. How about you?

@Imee: You better call your bank now. The information they'd need for wire transfer can easily be obtained from your bank.

happy holidays. i hope payment works out for all of you.

thanks for posting stuff like this to let those of us not working for ew about the problems.

Nothing still. :((

How about you Imee?

@Margie:

Nada. Zilch. Nunca.

@margie
Been working for em for a while now. Payment was also delayed horribly several months back (June I think..). You told me that you just submitted your bank details a few days ago right? Coz xoom won't work (they said)? I guess that should cause even further delays.

@imee
What about you imee? This your first time?

@Lavinia
Thanks for not being antagonistic against us ESL writers for a change (I assume that our Filipino friends here also have English as a second language. Forgive me if I'm wrong). I hope we can all get along better this new year. Happy Holidays!

hi people, good news! i got my payment at zoom last dec. 19 and it is great! i will keep you posted on my next payment on 1st week of january, 2008 at essaywriters.net.


Have a Blessed New Year to all!!!


God Bless.

I submitted my wire transfer details and I did not stop bugging them until they verified my payment detail so that processing my payment may commence. However, they said that they will process both my payments for Dec 15 and Jan1 because I chose wire transfer $400 no fee, and since my accumulated payments for Dec 15 and Jan 1 would amount to $400 they decided to process it on Jan3 instead.
It was on their message to their writers that everybody should use wire transfer as their primary method of payment and they promised that they won't take any fees, but when I told them that I want my $250 before the year ends (since they promised they won't take any fees), they told me I signed for the $400 no fee so I have to wait for the sum to reach that amount before anything can be processed.
I would have changed my method of payment to $200 ($15 fee) if I didn't realize that it would take them again a long time to verify it.
So, now, I gave in, no money before the New Year. January 3 is my best bet.

@EW_Writer

What do you mean first time? This is not my first time to receive payment. The first two paychecks were a week delayed because it takes one week for xoom to process the payment before pick-up. I was okay with that already. However, I got upset when it's been a week after Dec 15 and I didn't get any email notification from xoom, so I started asking them what's going on.

This delay started my suspicions and I came across this forum and discovered how they conned many writers before me. However, I am not all pessimistic, I still have my fingers crossed hoping I'd get paid for my efforts.

As do all other writers...Urgh.

I've stopped pestering them, Imee. I got tired. :)

The last time I asked, I was told the Dec. 15 payment will be processed Jan. 1 and the Jan. 1 payment will be processed on schedule. Okaay...

I would have pestered them some more but my boyfriend said I'm not starving so why risk getting a high blood pressure? :=) I got his point. It's just money, anyway. If they'll pay, I'm going to be happy. If they won't, I've learned a lesson the hard way and I could probably do a write-up for some local papers to discourage others from writing for the company.

hahaha! you're right Margie.

If they'll pay I'll be very happy, if they won't... then I can't do anything about that anymore.

Happy New Year!!!

p.s. I even wished them Happy Holidays hoping the spirit of the holidays would get to them hehehe but efforts are futile, so it seems...

hehehe at least you've tried... let's enjoy the new year and forget about EW for the mean time.

Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year!

@ imee
That's weird.. i thought the new policy doesn't charge anything for wire transfers even if they were below $400. Anyway, keep us all posted. Happy New Year!

I'm still unpaid until now. They now owe me my Dec. 15 and Jan. 1 payments.

Hello NO PAYMENT YET

same with margie, December and January now :(

btw, i met another writer who also works for EW, and she gets paid in the period of 6 months consistently!!! why is that? we live in the same country and she gets paid and i don't?

is it a trick to have an earning below $100 to get paid? hmmm she only turns in $40 every cut off.

My earnings for Dec. 15 and Jan. 1 have moved to the paid column, Imee. I've yet to see the amount reflected on my account though. I wonder how fast wire transfers take? Shouldn't they be instantaneous?

EW_writer and jassrossy: did you get your Jan 1 payments?
