Designer payments

admin Tue, 07/17/2012 - 23:03

Please note we pay designers for their sales weekly, however for various reasons payments may take a bit longer in certain cases. If you didn't receive your credits, please check to make sure you entered your payment information into your account. Many payments are pending because of such missing info. Make sure you sent the requested changes to client (if they have requested it). And finally check your PayPal account to make sure you can indeed receive payments as most problems are associated with non-verified PayPal accounts that bounce our payments to designers. If you have checked all these please email me or post your the link to you logo below.

Thanks

Spintherism's picture

Ivan, maybe this is related to the bug reported here. This logo is not in the right position on the sold logos pages. It is on the last page (currently page 85). In fact, the order of the last few logos changes sporadically after refreshing (hard to replicate).

KLAPPER's picture

Thanks Spintherism to information,,
in the event of a bug that, some of the logo were sold there are at most recent, including my logo.

admin's picture

Yes, we do have a strange bug on this one. Something is wrong with the client's account. We're checking this payment and you will be payed soon if all is well, which has about 95% chance, so don't worry.

admin's picture

It's now ok. We will pay this one next Monday. Sorry for the huge delay.

Why do yu encourage selling clipart? In the previous locked topic you say "generic shapes" are allowed. When did you change your mind? What abut the "heart - generic and unique" topic? Back then you said generic heart shape won't be accepted but the pierced one carrying idea will be. If i take nike logo adn triple it will it be accepted for sale here at StockLogos? Because that's what i see here - clipart shape tripled and you say OK.

admin's picture

You can repeat 3 triangles or any basic shape to create a unique design. You can't repeat an existing logo or a clipart like the nike swoosh to create a unique logo as it still be infringement. Hope this is clear.

Hi Ivan,

You said that you would make a payment today to the following winning Logos of Contests:

http://stocklogos.com/contest/candy-liqueur/103022
http://stocklogos.com/contest/autofreight/102024
http://stocklogos.com/contest/abc-property-solutions/103344

Can you please help me with?

Thnx,
Erismann

erismann's picture

I think there is a mistake.
The Contestholder of Autofreight didn't choose the winning Logo as it is shown in the Contest.
He wanted from me the files of this one ok

http://stocklogos.com/contest/autofreight/102411

ghostd7's picture

After a week after the contest has ended and till now you've put the original first link at least 3 times asking for payment but you see the differentce NOW?

BeautifulVoid's picture

Hello again.. Is it normal to wait almost 3months for payment? Its not my first logo sold and plz make sure if there arent any problems. Logo sold is birddo.. I hope for any progress since its my 2nd message on this topic and no feedback yet. Bye

Spintherism's picture

Ivan, maybe this will help: this logo is affected by the previously reported bug; it is in the last page of the "sold logos" section (currently page 86), even though it was created in 04/27/2012 and sold almost immediately.

admin's picture

Please give me a link in email so I can check. It's certainly not normal to wait more than 7 days. contact @ stocklogos.com

erismann's picture

Birddo : http://stocklogos.com/logo/birddo
http://stocklogos.com/logos/sold?page=85

admin's picture

Thanks! This was due to an error in a purchase that didn't go through. It failed at some point with PayPal and therefore we didn't get the money. I put it back to market now.

erismann's picture

Hi Ivan,

You said that you would make a payment on Monday to the following winning Logos of Contests:
Just curious, is there any problem???
Also the Contests are deleted from the Contest lists.

Is there a problem with payment times ? been waiting an unusual 7 days for my latest sale?

admin's picture

No problems, we're paying tomorrow.

Dubmental's picture

Greetings,
As this is a payment thread, i hope i can get some help.
My question is what kind of paypal account do i need ? personal or business ? in older threads it's been stated that the premier account was the one, but i can only choose between the two mentioned earlier.
I hope i'm not making a fool of myself.
If anyone would be kind enough to help, i'd be grateful.

thx,
Tudor

Hello Artgirl,

It's been 4 weeks and 2 days since that sale.

"The first store logo payment usually takes up to 5 weeks after logo purchase date. After the first one all logos are payed within 7 days of logo purchase." (from this page: http://stocklogos.com/sell)

Peace,

Spintherism.

admin's picture

We had days off in the last weeks or so, so we're in a bit of delay, but will pick up the thread soon.

ronnylight's picture

everybody holiday, i hope can be release soon, thanks

admin's picture

Sorry for the delay. We're going to be back to normal from this week.

digital_infusion's picture

Hello guys,

I just made the first logo sale: Date of purchase: Fri, 12/21/2012 - 18:33
When do I receive the payment? Do sent it directly to PayPal?

Thank you!

Spintherism's picture

Hello Digital Infusion,

"The first store logo payment usually takes up to 5 weeks after logo purchase date. After the first one all logos are payed within 7 days of logo purchase."

The above quote is from the "Sell Logo" page (http://stocklogos.com/sell). In that page you will also find a paragraph stating that "You're not allowed to promote your website, email address or other contact information anywhere on the site [...]" So, you should delete your personal email on the comments of your sold logo (http://stocklogos.com/logo/pixlhawk).

By the way, nice logo. :o)

Peace,

Spintherism.

digital_infusion's picture

Thank you Spintherism.

I am new on this site, I removed the e-mail adress. Thank you for your advice!

admin's picture

Which logo? Wait till Monday/Tuesday please.

ststeustst's picture

I sold my first logo a week ago, so I understand that payment will be made up to 5 weeks. Meanwhile I sold a second logo, a few days ago. My question is when I receive payment for the second logo.

digital_infusion's picture

It`s Saturday (Which logo? Wait till Monday/Tuesday please.) and I did not get any news from you! Is there a reason we do not receive our payments or any explanations?

Thank you!

looking for your reply.

farhanzee's picture

OMG !!! 5 Weeks........what if some one needs it urgent ?!?!?!?!?!!

admin's picture

First logo is paid after 5 weeks. That's in our rules. Please read the sell logo page!

admin's picture

I believe it's already paid.

ROCKADERO™'s picture

I've not been that regular on here and sold a logo the other day. Just want to catch up and ask if it's still about a week for payment?

admin's picture

Usually about 10 days nowadays. We're trying to improve.

ladydart's picture

HI, I had some problems with payment options, but I finally manged to set up PayPal and added this on my info page. I realize that it wasn't your fault..can you please take a look and tell me when can I expect payment to be processed?

Dilz's picture

MigueloiKo's picture

I was just reading the http://stocklogos.com/sell page, and I´ve noticed that at the end it says: "Be the creativity be with you!" that was awesome!!, but shouldnt it be "May the creativity be with you!"?
(I know this has nothing to do with payments, just wanted to ask) cheers

ladydart's picture

Is there some notification about payment from SL? I've been waiting too long for this money, actually can't quite believe that this is going to happen :)

MigueloiKo's picture

I just sold my first logo, I now knoe that it takes 5 weeks to get paid, my question is: Is it ok to send all the files to the client? or whats the protocol?
Thanks

ROCKADERO™'s picture

I've been arguing this case for a while, you're expected to send files and do alterations within 24hrs of a sale but wait quite a lot of time before being paid. It really makes the designer suspicious and if they should do anything until they have secured payment.

I can understand the waiting, it prevents any wrong doing and if it helps those feeling a little worried then I can assure you. I've sold around 39 logos here and I've been paid on everyone, sometimes I've had to wait and some have been paid within a a day. I'm currently waiting on two myself even though the clients have both got their finished logos.

Hope this helps anyone wondering.

admin's picture

Thanks for reporting back. Sorry for the delay.

admin's picture

Yes. Remember for check you need $200 in credit.

admin's picture

It's paid. Check your account.

admin's picture

That's going to be paid Today.

admin's picture

That's correct. Within 7 days.

logo4u's picture

7 day paased but i have not got my payment. Sale date Tue, 03/05/2013 - 05:01.

admin's picture

It's paid. Please double check.

haetro's picture

Good day! First logo sold http://stocklogos.com/logo/bixel i already updated my paypal account and already contacted the buyer about the changes and sent some files requested, the sold logo is going on its 2nd week after sale, should i wait for another 3 weeks? Thanks!

MigueloiKo's picture

I have a question, I noticed today it says that you get 55% of the total logo sale, on your first couple of logos, but I don't get how can you get $78.375 dlls on a 55% share out of $150 dlls. If [Rule of Three] wasn't wrong, the 55% out of 150 should be $82.5 dlls.
$78.375 represents 52.25%, ...So whats going on?. Thanks.

babawich's picture

Maybe the paypal fees?

Personally I feel this is a stupid policy of stock logos and kind of greedy. The new people should be rewarded for their first sales and will build more. I wonder how many designers this turns off? And no I already qualify for the lower fees so Im not whining for myself.

MigueloiKo's picture

I dont think so, paypal removes the fees directly, the fees I am placing here are visible on your "MANAGE" page, those missing number are either a SL mistake or something else...So, what is it? So far I´ve not gotten answer from Stock Logos,

Spintherism's picture

When the client pays StockLogos, there are PayPal fees taken, then when StockLogos pays the designer, there are also PayPal fees taken.

Only the first PayPal fee (from the client-to-StockLogos transaction) is calculated in the "manage" page. Later PayPal will deduct fees on the StockLogos-to-designer transaction. So, yes, the designer pays both PayPal fees. This is indicated in the Sell Logo page: "We also deduct a PayPal fee from your share, which is about 3-5%."

If you think this should be any different, simply increase your price. ;o)

By the way, it is fairly difficult to calculate the exact PayPal fees in advance, it's anywhere between 1.9% to 3.9% plus a small fixed amount (which varies, but is often $0.30). It also depends on other factors like the currency received and in some cases, based on the account type, even the previous month's sales volume influences PayPal fees.

It seems that to simplify things, StockLogos calculates 5% on the "manage" page. So, in your example, $150 from the client-to-StockLogos transaction, becomes $142.50 after PayPal fees and your final %55 share of this amount is $78.375 which corresponds to the total on your post above (03/12/2013 ). You will get about $76 after the second PayPal fee (StockLogos-to-designer transaction).

In any case, the "manage" page amount is an estimate, often you get a little more than the estimated amount. :o)

Peace,

Spintherism.

MigueloiKo's picture

thank you Mr. Spynth, I read the whole thing about payments in SL now and its all clear. Thanks. You should be an admin or something...you are allways really helpfull

admin's picture

It's not greed. We want to build a business that is sustainable. We have to make sure we make enough to be able to maintain the level of service and grow slowly. At the same time we have to give to designers as much as possible. It's a fine balance. Please don't call it greedy as that's not the case at all.

ARTificious's picture

Hello i was just wondering, my design got chosen for a contest and at the logo page it said "Status: Please wait for payment". Today i check and it says "Status: Paid". So my question is now that i see "Paid" i have to wait 5 weeks or this time is only for stock. And keep up the good work! I am really glad i found you guys :).

Megan X.'s picture

Hi! it's been 1 month since my logo was chosen as the winner one, the status says Paid but no cheque was arrived :/ should i be worried?

ARTificious's picture

Megan i guess we should be worried a bit cause no one gives us answer :)

admin's picture

What is your question specifically? I do give answers every day on email and regularly on the forum.

ARTificious's picture

Nah i was just kidding with Megan X :) no harm done i know you are very busy but my question was how much time does it need to recieve payment for contest logo after the "Status: Paid" announce.

haetro's picture

waiting for another 1 more week to receive the payment

AKMulligan's picture

I was notified that one of my logos sold 2-1/2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything since.

admin's picture

You need to be more specific please. Waiting for which logo please?

AKMulligan's picture

I just got my payment! Let me know if I need to do anything else for the client.

admin's picture

Alertpay is not working. Not on our end but on theirs. They can't accept wire transfers at the moment and thus we're unable to fill up the account to pay you. They keep promising to fix it soon.

M D S's picture

Ivan, Stocklogos please add skrill - moneybookers as payment option. Or you can also add the moneygram. They also have internet payment system. Please do something with this issue. You see that alerpay is totaly unprofesional and they alway have some problems.
I mean what designer from the country who dont have option for paypal can do now? To wait?
From Alertpay told me that they will fix the problem in January and now is April. It is obvious, if they can't, then stocklogos must change something about it.

polakx's picture

I agree! All of us lose money!
Add moneybookers please!

M D S's picture

I feel like I'm talking with myself.
Please tell us:
Can stocklogos add skrill - moneybokers?
Can stocklogos add moneygram?
Can stocklogos add any payment method for designers who can't use paypal ( dont tell check) I mean fast payments.?

Whether to continue to sell the logos on this website or take them off?

I do not want to sound like I'm threatening, just asking, to know what to do.

I think stocklogos it's a big enough and mature site that can handle with this kind of problem and add a few more types of payments.

admin's picture

We applied to skrill and moneygram, but they didn't give us an account yet. You know it's different when you're a company. They told us we have to wait.

And AlertPay stopped working after a few months. They also told me it will work, we just have to wait.

I think it has to do with the amount of money we are sending through. It's thousands of dollars every week. Maybe that's above some limit these payment systems have.

We could add wire transfer but it's too expensive. Costs like $20-30 each time.

M D S's picture

It's better to wait a bit and then to have better sistem of payments like skrill? I know that is different for companies.
But if this sistem is good for you, it is not good for designers.
About the money that you sending through Alertpay, I think that is not the issue. You send it before without problems.
The problem is Alertpay, website that does not work!
Therefore, designers who have only alertpay option, is like that they not have any option for payments.

About this: "We could add wire transfer but it's too expensive. Costs like $20-30 each time."
Is that cost for you or for designers? Because if it is for designer, when you compare now with alertpay they also take $25 for one withdrawal! Earlier there were $15.
Just to compare on moneybookers the withdrawal is 1,80 euros.
So, the conclusion is that no polemizes here, but to find ways to be paid people regularly.
Is your salary is late? No.
Is my salary late? Yes.
No hard feeling but it is the true.

If you add moneybookers year ago (as some designers proposed), now we would not have this type of conversation. and issue.

M D S's picture

One more thing. Why every website in the world can use the moneybookers and you can't? What is so that hard, or is it only because the Alertpay is Canadian company to?

admin's picture

I personally don't know. But our finance team tried to get an account with moneybookers and we didn't get approved. But they are trying to resolve.

Btw, when you sign up with us you agree to our terms. If we promised to pay you with moneybookers and didn't deliver that's different. But we never did.

Alertpay is broken but not because of us. They simply stopped receiving our wire transfers until further notice. It's probably because we went over some limit with them from the USA. They have regulations they have to follow. We can't help this as this is beyond our control.

Everybody can receive checks where banks are available, that's always an option.

admin's picture

As soon as Alertpay starts receiving money again. The error is on their end, not us.

MigueloiKo's picture

first logo takes minimum 5 weeks before you get it paid

haetro's picture

5 weeks to be exact on April 3, 2013 one of my first logo sold last Feb 26, 2013. http://stocklogos.com/logo/bixel i already setup my paypal and it is current active. Thanks Stocklogos Admin.

Thanks! PayPal will work nicely.

haetro's picture

Thanks Admin, already received the payment. Regards to all :D

polakx's picture

Realy working? You have received money?

M D S's picture

I did not receive because i am waiting for stocklogos to send me. But withdrawal is working. I check it out and steps for withdrawal are functional now.

polakx's picture

cool! tnx for good news!
but the real problem is transactions from stocklogos to payza...

M D S's picture

Previously it was not a problem. But now it worries me too.

polakx's picture

Could you let to me know when receive money from stocklogos?
There is an impression that it only my problem.
Tnx a lot!

M D S's picture

I will, But stocklogos need to provide more information to us. This all begining to be frustrating.

admin's picture

What information do you need?

admin's picture

He switched to PayPal and we paid one of them. The second one is under review.

admin's picture

It shows as Paid. Have you not got it?

haetro's picture

stylelove's picture

How long for pay out when you've won a contest? I just one my first contest so Im curious how long it will take paid. Ive checked the site and all i can find is info on selling a logo payout. (I may have missed if if anyone can just direct me)

stylelove's picture

It doesnt say how long for payout for contest winning only selling logos in the store.

MigueloiKo's picture

yes it does, under the DESIGNING FOR CONTEST section, it reads on the 4th paragraph, at the end: " You will be payed once the files have been handed over to client.". hope this helped out, cheers

MigueloiKo's picture

Also, on your own info, you need to fill the payment info, click on "my account", then on "EDIT" section, and a little below "EDI" there are blue letters, wich reads "account" and also "personal information", click on personal information, and fill it out. cheers

admin's picture

Switch to PayPal or Check. Alertpay is not working. Sorry

admin's picture

Hi! It doesn't look like we're delaying with this. It's the first sale right?

admin's picture

Looks like it's paid already. Can you double check?
