editing times

November 19, 2024 04:21AM
These are mostly Ipsos/Presto shops. I've never had an issue with the extended time waiting for review, but now I have $217 tied up waiting for editing for nearly 2 weeks. I also have some on Ipsos Sassie that took more than 2 weeks to be edited and approved. They are exceeding all of their "estimates" that used to be "maximum times" now.

I tried to find the other threads about this, but they didn't come up when I searched.

Okie,
The only thing I really need is my money. I have to get some stuff for the new car (they didn't sell me a pristine car, it has a few quirks that need ironed out). All these $60 yellow gas stations are a godsend, IF I can get my money.

Been waiting since last Wednesday for a Chinese food shop to be edited. Fast fast pay slowed down by slow slow editing.

Something sounds fishy. I just received payment yesterday for a bunch of stuff I completed Friday and Saturday, including some Mollusks...

Have synthesizers, will travel...

Maybe they just want to accommodate for the upcoming thanksgiving season. I pretty much get paid the next day after the shops were accepted, even when it's something as little as $18 during this Nov

They approved a bunch the other day, and I got paid for them today, but it's not all of them, and now there is an even longer list of shops waiting for review. And tomorrow the list will be even longer.

The thing is, with this car, if it had been sold in CA the brakes would have had to have been done, and the tires would have had to be replaced before they could sell it. But the wear bars aren't on the ground, so they can sell it with old tires, and no one seems to have even looked at the brakes before it was sold. So there goes a $1000 just in parts for a car I've only had for 2 months.

you ain't lying. That company feels like it takes forever to pay.

Um, no. Maybe you meant they can take a long time to edit?

They pay faster than any other company in the industry, by a long shot, and even faster during the holidays.

As stated previously, there must be something funky going on in this instance. I've had Faux Chinese shops take a long time to be edited, but once they were received the pay was just as fast as always.

There is little doubt that it's an editing thing. I don't know if they are deliberately editing them slowly because they are required to pay so fast after they are approved or if the editing team is slacking.

I just got a yellow station accepted and I am expecting it to pay tomorrow. It had been over a week since I did it. . They are one of the fastest paying companies. I have ever worked for. .

well, after going over all that I'm owed on Presto.. tomorrow I'll most likely be paid $33. while I have shops going back to November 10 that still have not been reviewed. And that amount is $223.00, and my son says he's got $324 on Presto that hasn't been reviewed yet. ALL of the shops that haven't been reviewed yet are MMPs, only one site experience, that my son did yesterday, hasn't been reviewed or paid yet.

For me, these slow editing times reinforce my method of performing any shop - create a worksheet for each shop as well as saving any photos of that shop to a computer file specific to that particular shop.
Why? Because, if you happen to cross swords with certain editors, you most certainly will be asked (or likely required) to expand upon your report.

@French Farmer - “cross swords.” Funny and simply the truth!

That $100 Shell shop my son did 2 full weeks ago, was accepted today.. Most of the other stuff he's done before and since has been edited, accepted and PAID already.
