Has anyone been paid yet? Sales have been over the "threshold" for the past three months, but still nothing.

 

[DonnaBurgess]

I take that as a big "no."

I'm watching this too.

I haven't reached $100 yet, but I'm getting close, and I heard this was an issue.

Some people are getting paid, though, right? It's some kind of problem with the bank? You have to call them and email them and bug them until they fix it?

 

[Monique]

I've been paid. Happily. There was an issue at first. The optional routing # wasn't optional.

 

[DonnaBurgess]

Thanks. I'll need to check that banking info. I was so excited to finally qualify for a payment

 

[Diane Darcy]

I just barely received an email from Western Union that I'm getting a Kobo payment soon. Yay! 

 

[cblewgolf]

Just curious, how long did it take to "qualify ($100)" for some of you?  I just uploaded to Kobo on Thursday.

 

[60911]

I've been paid, though it took me about five months to qualify for my first check.

 

[Monique]

Kobo has been very good to me. I got lucky right out of the gate and qualified my first month.

 

[H.M. Ward]

Yeah, they had the optional routing number when I signed up. I put it in since I didn't know how I'd get paid otherwise. I have over 20 titles, so I hit $100 the first month. They are worth it. I sell more over there than on SW. Apple crept up on Kobo and passed them this month. It seems to take a few months to get a foothold. B&N is #2 and Amazon is #1. When I only wrote YA, B&N was #1. Since I started writing NA, things shifted back toward Amazon as #1. Hope that helps.

There were ppl who reported having issues getting payment when Kobo 1st started. From what I heard, they were responsive and fixed it.

Where can one find the routing number?

 

[Speaker-To-Animals]

The routing number should be the first number at the bottom of your check.

|:123456789|: 1234567891||    1234
Routing #        Account #        Check #

Having said that, we use TD Bank US and Kobo won't accept my bank account's routing number or the banks Swift code, so who knows. Once you enter the routing number, it then searches for it to validate, and says it can't find it.

I guess the routing/Swift search works as well as their storefront's search does.

I think you're right about that. I sent them an email - guess I'll see what happens.

 

[MH Sargent]

I didn't get paid when I crossed the minimum threshold, but it was my fault, not theirs: my routing info was wrong. Oops. Since then, it's been fine.

 

[Joe_Nobody]

I've always been paid by KOBO without issue. I reached the $100 mark in about a week.

ACX, well, that's a matter for a different thread.
