Avoid elite cxs. They never paid me for 2025 shops and ignore my emails. When their owner finally replied to my emails he said he would pay me only if I removed the bbb complaint against them.
10ft pole territory for me. These are high risk high rewards shops if I ever saw one. Editors have a quick trigger and seem to find reasons to reject reports. You could find yourself in a tough spot that contradict the guidelines and you will lose if you get into a 'but the guidelines say this...' argument with an editor. Proceed at your own risk.
