Very long time for payments from apple

Warblader · 12-01-2008, 04:12 AM

I got my first payment on the 29th of September (For august sales, and only for US region) Since then I have not received anything more. Anyone else this has happen to?

I have sold 4000-5000 copies since august, most of the sales in September and October. So I have only received about 5% of what I have calculated they owe me...

Are apple really this slow or could something be wrong?

I havent recieved my first pay (october) yet...

I mailed them yesterday, no answer yet

tkilmer · 12-01-2008, 07:57 AM

There is something wrong with that. I have received all payments so far, except for October's Euro payment. They are suppose to pay you within 45 days. I would give them a call or email their financial department.

FWIW I received the Euro pay on the 24th November, same day as the US one...

Well.. this is a little bit funny.

Yesterday I got the UK payment for October!

Just hope the rest is coming soon...

I have recieved all my payments for sept and oct.
The last one dropped in the 29:th of october.
And the money was almost exactly spot on what the
daily figures where and what the fin. reports told.
Everything worked flawless for me =)
Im in Europe.

I've only received payments for the UK and Europe. I live in Canada. Nothing for the rest of the world unfortunately.

Hey there, just curious could you please let us know if they pay you back in full. I'm wanting to release some apps in the future and would like to know what I'm working with. Thanks

Warblader · 12-04-2008, 03:59 PM

Still nothing for US, Europa or rest of world... :-(

brendand · 12-05-2008, 12:59 AM

I still have only received the UK and Europe. The rest of the world is a no show.

brendand · 12-10-2008, 10:12 AM

So has anyone else been paid for all regions for October yet? Still only the UK and Europe for me.

Warblader · 12-10-2008, 10:15 AM

Still only UK for me....

I have sent apple an email asking about this.

DrGonzo105 · 12-11-2008, 12:00 AM

how long has it been?

Warblader · 12-11-2008, 07:13 AM

The only payment I have received from Apple for US region is for end of august. I have sent them an email asking about this... no reply yet

brendand · 12-17-2008, 12:24 PM

I only just realized yesterday that I had to get a US EIN number and then send off some tax form to Apple so they don't withhold 30% of my earnings. Ugh. Wish I knew about that sooner. Hopefully they receive the form before they deposit my money.

Oh, the reason I didn't know about that was that I am from Canada and I thought that was only for US residents. I had submitted the Canadian GST form to Apple months ago.

Warblader · 12-17-2008, 03:07 PM

Still nothing from apple, either $ or reply to email... :-(

drifter7508 · 12-18-2008, 02:13 AM

Yes... sold over 6500 copies all in all. And most of that in US and only gotten approx. $700 from US region (August). Price of game was $4.99 in the start and then $2.99 for a long time (most of the sales). So according to my calculation they owe me close to $7000 still.

tkilmer · 12-18-2008, 08:31 AM

Email iTSPayments@apple.com. They responded to me in about 15 minutes. They were really quick and made sure I got my money the next day.

Warblader · 12-18-2008, 08:47 AM

That is the address I sent an email to on the 10th of December. No reply yet. Will send again.

Gambit · 12-18-2008, 09:43 AM

Man..... I still haven't seen my October payments let alone my november. Time to keep emailing them

Warblader · 12-20-2008, 08:05 AM

well after another email and a reply, I finally got the transfer!! Got almost all of it now... probably just some of the regions that are below the $250 limit that I'm missing now. Great!!!

drifter7508 · 12-22-2008, 04:00 AM

Great Warblader!

Finally.

I have got all payments for november now except Canada.

jasonsavage · 12-22-2008, 07:49 AM

I'm a bit fuzzy on the rules for payments so hopefully you guys in the know can set me straight, I understand the $250 bracket, but is that per currency or country, cant see it ever making the $250 for some european countries but it would do if EUR is lumped together for example?

Also if you have multiple apps do they get lumped together as well, so jointly if you make $150 on one and another $150 on another in a territory that would trigger a payment?

Wish it was more simple and just lump the lot together
