So I got an email this morning, from Red Quanta, actually 23 of them. Definitely form letters, but here it is:
***********************************************************

It's telling that the dollar amount is stated in Indian Rupees, and that the bank info is "null". This strikes me as odd, since they only offer Paypal payments, and they never give the option for anything else. Maybe in the future? I think I'll stick with Paypal though.
Also, the more shops I do with them, I see updates/upgrades on their website, so maybe they're starting to figure this thing out. At first, there was nothing as far as a shop status, now it shows up on the mobile site, but not the desktop site. There is also now a text message when your shop is approved, although it states that you'll be paid in 30 days, when i reality it's almost 90 on the dot.
