Does anyone know how long it takes iStock to pay us via paypal once they contact us telling that the payment request has been sent? I got an email from them on April 17th but that is all.

Thanks

If you requested a paypal payout on April 17th (assuming the reply you got was an auto-reply), you should get payment on 29th (or 28th, they seem to have been very prompt recently.

The request cut-off time for Paypal is 9 a.m. Monday morning (iS time), and any payments requested by then should be paid by the following Tuesday, though recently it has been the Monday.

Yep. Requests before Monday 9am, payment the week after on Monday...

It's one of the best things about iStock: Very predictable, reasonable wait times. You just have to know the schedule.

Sounds like if I don't get paid by this coming Tuesday I better contact them.

Thanks

Why are you expecting not to be paid on time?

fyi paypal reports your income to irs
payoneer does not

You will get paid, don`t worry.
I never had any problems with paypal payouts.

If you use Google Calendar, you can add the entire years worth of request dates and corresponding payment received dates, allowing for Canadian holidays (when the dates usually change to Tuesday) and set reminders for yourself if you want.
