Thanks for the kind words, I am glad it helped.
And I fully agree with your above statements.
Let's go on working!

Caroline

I guess the amount stated will have to include the fees, as they have indeed stated they would be paying them. As to the invoice, I guess we will have to wait until they tell us that we can send it or eventually invite us again (though that wouldn't be necessary because we already have their billing...

Thanks again Caroline, finally I received my payment. However, it was not the full amount!! :cry: Do you know if this is normal? Did you place the exact amount in your invoice? I don't know if it's normal as I only had one single month pending... but if they are paying month through month, maybe yo...

I got paid =) Now... does anybody know how Guru perform the payments to paypal accounts? I'm asking this becouse of the diference between the Personal and Bussines account fess. Did you already registered and confirmed your Paypal account? You should do that first. Thereafter, you have to ask for t...

Not at all... I just wrote "mppfiles" in the search box, and your profile came out. That's all. I also verified with the number, and it showed as well. So it's visible. The category in which I am is the same (writing/editing/translation). Don't remember now the subcategories, but I don't think that ...

Payment was made by FDM as I said in my last message... and yesterday Guru did the transfer to Paypal as per their "transfer schedule" (mondays, wednesdays and fridays). Can you tell me your profile ID or screen name so I can help you search and see if you appear or not? One fellow translator had th...

Correction to my statement above where I said that Guru.com didn't send an email when project is awarded. They do send it... but seems to be arriving "a little" later, lol... Got it just now ("You've been selected!"), about three hours later after I had already received their "Payment Received" mail...

Forgot to say that the payment in full of the invoice was made on the same day later on, and I am now waiting for Guru.com to transfer the funds to my Paypal account. It says it can take two days approximatively. For those of you who will use Paypal but haven't yet added it as a payment option: you ...

What about how to make the invoices? I have an amount that has not yet been paid, although according to the FDM system, it's been paid. On top of that, I have another amount from a following month that has not yet been paid, and is "pending" in the system as well. Should I make a separate invoice f...

To Martin (and anyone still waiting): Be sure of checking a few things: 1. That you indeed have a "freelancer" account (and not an "employer" one). 2. That your username and screen name are easy to find (I just checked for another translator friend and her profile didn't show up even if placing her ...

Another detail that translators should be aware so there are no complaints thereafter... This is from the Guru.com site: How do we make money? Our service is free for employers because we charge the professionals in two ways: 1. Professionals pay us a 5% or 10% Project Fee . This fee is based on a p...

This is what FDM administration (as well as us) has to perform (as the employer) in order for us to get the payments. How SafePay Invoicing works - in detail 1. Award the Project to the Best Pro First, select the professional(s) you wish to hire by clicking the "Award" button next your chosen profes...

ESCROW vs. INVOICING ********************* There are two methods for freelancers at Guru.com to request payment. Escrow is when the work hasn't been done yet and the employer places the funds previously under the "protection" of Guru.com as a guarantee of payment for the freelancer. THIS IS NOT OUR ...

I have decided to open this thread to gather the information needed for the transition to Guru.com as a payment vehicle. As far as I have been able to understand: 1. We need the billing code from FDM to be able to create an invoice for the payments due. 2. Before this, we need to receive a Project A...

The managers are/were people like you and me, recruited at the same level as translators and due to their higher level of language precision, were promoted to a manageurial position from the start, but this is to say that they are at the same level as we all are here, waiting for payments. Managers ...
