Unfortunately, I am one of those people who fall into the category of NOT BEING PAID by usershare.
Thank God I found this thread. Everyone has told me that I have been scammed and I should just take my losses and move on. But I want to get to the bottom of this.
Out of the 7 times of Payment Requests, I only actually gotten paid 3 times. The first time I don't get paid, we were told it's a system glitch, therefore it's shown as "MISSING DETAIL" on our account. After that, they don't even bother to make up an excuse, they just plain outright don't pay me and put as "PAID" in my account. There is nothing wrong with my Paypal account because I still am using it to send and receive payment.
I requested $50.96 on 2011-03-28 at 04:45:42. So I patiently awaited until 2011-04-07, finally my payout report indicated that this amount was PAID. However, when I check my Paypal account, I did not received the payment at all. Instead, this amount was being put back into my usershare account.
So I have requested the payment $81.24 again (my initial amount that wasn't being paid Plus what I already accumulated in my account) on 2011-04-07 at 22:42:37. I waited until 2011-04-18 22:56:43, just to find out. It had HAPPENED AGAIN. I wasn't being paid, instead the $81.25 being put back to UserShare account and worse yet, once again, "Profit payments sent to user" report is being shown as PAID.
So basically, it shows the appearance as if I was paid even though I have NOT receive one single cent since I requested back on March 28th, 2011. This has gone on for 3 weeks. I have NOT receive any actual payment but instead being lead around back and forth. I have contacted UserShare via email and their contact form but NEVER get a reply back concerning this issue either. I have been patient, courteous and polite, waiting for actual payment since March 28, 2011. But patience run thin at this point. A real explanation would be nice.
Usershare, I am starting to think this is just a stalling tactic so you don't actually have to pay people while appearing to be legit. I got paid 3 times out of the 7. But those were smaller amounts. So I think you do pay people the first few times to build confidence amongst the users then once we hit higher amount of payment, you just won't pay us. Worse yet, the "Profit payments sent to user" always shown as "PAID" even though users are not being paid. Therefore, you will APPEAR as if you pay users a lot which in reality we haven't gotten payment. So your site will appear legit and you can still continue marketing/touting your site as the highest payment to uploaders, to bring in more users... It is our words against yours and you can always change the "Profit payments sent to user" report to your liking or manipulate the view counter however you like.
Having said all these payment issue, I haven't even mention you delete ALL my files, over 200 of them, or what my downloaders call it a
"File Genocide" and before that, my view counter hasn't move since March even though there are downloads going on. I didn't even contend this or say anything about it. I just want you to actually pay the $81.25 I requested.
Even though payment usually takes about 10 days to settle. I have waited 3 WEEKS patiently. That gives you plenty of chances to respond and get your matter in order. I would love to settle this matter privately, posting it in public forum is always my last resort because I'd like to give people the benefit of the doubt. However, it's been 3 WEEKS of absolutely silence/non-response and nonpayment, I have to at least say something here and warn people.
I had request the $81.25 once again on 2011-04-18 22:56:43 but at this point, it's probably a lost cause.
To those who said be patient and let them fix their system bug or whatever. Um, how long does it take to fix a bug? The site is still running. 3 weeks to fix one bug that just so happen in payment section? This is really fishy. I am not a contentious person and I don't think I'm the smartest person in the room either. However, I am not that dumb to think that I am not being cheated here.
Can you please please respond to your users? That is not too much to ask, is it? You're running a business here and I don't think you are to the point of withholding a $81.25 (essentially loose change can be found on your office floor) payment to a nobody like me.
Until this payment issue is being resolved, I will not upload or use this site again.
