I wonder if anyone else is having a problem as National Shopping Service moves from mailing checks over to PayPal this month.
I got a form e-mail letter that said PayPal takes longer but all payment would be processed by the 21st (now it is the 25th). Before when they mailed checks I often got paid as early as the 10th of the month.
Paypal should be QUICKER not two weeks SLOWER. Does it seem strange that a mailed check is promised no later than the 5th of the month but Paypal can take up to three weeks and we should wait as long as the 21st.
Here is the letter I got from their accounting department:
Recently you opted in to our new payment option of Pay Pal. All January shopping Pay Pal payments have been processed. However, due to the transition, some payment have not yet been received. We expect all January Pay Pal payments to clear no later than 3/21/16. Please allow until 3/21/16 to receive your January Pay Pal funds.
Please note, as we worked through this transition with using the Pay Pal service, we have been educated that future Pay Pal payments will be following the below schedule. The Check payment schedule is listed below as well. If you would like to change your payment method at any time, please login to www.nationalshoppingservice.com and update your shopper profile. If you change your payment method at any time, please allow a few months before expecting the new payment method to take effect.
Thank you for your patience and support during this transition.
Check payments will be sent within 5 business days of the last day of the month, following the month in which shops being paid for were conducted.
Example:
Shop conducted in January 2016. Check for said shop will be mailed between 2/29 and 3/5/16.
Pay Pal payments will be processed in batches starting the last day of the month, following the month in which the shops being paid for were conducted. The Pay Pal processing can take up to 3 weeks.
Example:
Shop conducted in January 2016. Pay Pal payment will be processed and received between 2/29 and 3/21/16.
Thank you,
