I just spoke with someone at Intellishop. They said because of a glitch in the system shoppers were sent September payments for October payments. However, I did not get any payment at all and did have shops in September. She said no one would be paid until it was resolved even the people who did not have to refund money. She added I was lucky I did not get paid.
Looking at the amounts, it was for August shops, not September (at least, for my account, the funds sent matched August shops). Which really makes you wonder how/why this happened?
The big question is, say enough people are slow to return the money (or just sit on it out of either fear or greed) - does Intellishop go under? That doubly screws over the people that were owed funds but returned them in good faith. But if enough people hold the funds either because we can't figure out how to refund through PayPal, or people are nervous about them going under and not getting paid at all, then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Saying "no one would be paid until it is resolved" is certainly NOT the appropriate response. If that is the attitude, it means just one person not refunding the money would hold up everyone's payment - and I'm sure many others would then sit on the funds.
As Intellishop knows, in the business world, if you have a dispute with Business X, you don't hold Business Y's (and every other business!) funds.
