Confero hasn’t paid me

I did a shop for Confero on January 15. It was promptly approved. However, it’s been saying “pending payment” since then. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes, I have 2 shops from early January that have been in "payment pending" status for some time. I have not had a reply from Support to my inquiry.

Check the Confero thread. I got paid 9 weeks after my shop. Maybe you'll get paid in another week or two?

Yeah I sent a message to “support” and they told me to email someone else lol

I have not gotten paid either for mid January shops.

From Feb 5, 2025:

I’m not shopping for them anymore now. I don’t recall ever having to wait 2 months for payment. So I’m guessing my December nightmare of a shop will get paid in February? Hard pass.
Thanks for starting the thread. I appreciate it.

Got paid. It took 9 weeks and one day. (eye roll)

So, my December shop got paid Feb 5th.

Mid January should show up around March 20-27 is my best guess.

I have a lot that has been pending since almost three weeks now.

Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.

I think that we should all hop right onto that cruise with them. They are advertising it on their facebook page. What a joke.

I actually saw a few emails from them today posting about shops they have available. It takes a lot of nerve to post about new shops when you haven’t even paid from two months ago…..

Just an update that I received the PayPal notification of payment today!

Well, I have not been paid for over a month, and I am done asking.

I got paid for one shop today out of the multiple shops I did over two months ago. I sent them an email asking why they only paid for one shop.

I received a low amount in one transaction and a large amount in the second transaction. I received two transactions shortly behind each other. I was eventually paid in full for January.

Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.

The pandemic hit a lot of companies hard. Hopefully things improve for the industry.

And the worst part is that we spend $10 on groceries at each shop. If I work 5 shops in one day, that's $50. I usually am owed several hundred in reimbursements each month. Then, I have to wait 2 months for my pay. The payment is usually not paid on time and they try to blame PayPal. PayPal is not at fault.

I was looking at one of their shops and searched here because I hadn't worked with them yet. Interesting to me that my search results also indicated they once put on an event/presentation in partnership with CXE. I have to wonder how closely the two are tied and if it's likely they are on the same path?

It took me multiple emails and weeks beyond the date expected to get paid.

Well this is concerning.

I think they banned me years ago, but I was able to finagle a bonused farm store shop on a recent out-and-back remote gas station run.

Hope I don't have to chase them for the $50.

I was all excited to see their version of the Fluffy Cow sports bar shops, and one of the current limited time sauces, but realized I'm too old. Maybe just as well if I'm going to have to spend upwards of $30 and wait to get reimbursed.

I splurged at the farm store and went a little more than $4 over the reimbursement for a jar of pickled garlic. Easier to snag them up front (after quite the wait for service) than roam the store trying to find something for cheap that I might be able to use. That they are delicious made it worth it...

Have synthesizers, will travel...

They aren't the only one helping the fluffy cow. The shop I grabbed was basic sit down dining and I am confident that I will be paid. I saw several of theirs sitting open.while I only got mine because someone flaked. That was my first indication that there may be a good reason nobody is helping them with that cow. It isn't that the cow lacks desirability.

I wonder what's up with Confero? Years ago they were really solid and I never had any issues. I wonder if they're struggling financially or it's just the accounting staff who are slack?

I haven't been paid either. My shop was January 20th
