I've been trying to get Uploaded to pay me for 2-3 weeks now, with no results. They owe me €55.
They offer (1) Bit4coin, (2) Amazon.com (US), (3) Amazon.DE (Germany) or WebMoney (Russia).
Russia, yeah I could totally go for that (not). Germany? Do they ship to US? Amazon US? I already have my payment arrangements with them and don't want Uploaded in the mix. I also understand they discount your Amazon payments, and their site says Webmoney under €100 gets a 20% surcharge.
That leaves Bit4coin. The way it works you request payment from Uploaded and they send the request to Bit4coin who sends you a payment voucher via email. Then you go to their site and turn in the voucher and your BTC wallet address and you get the BTC.
There's just one problem. I've been trying every few days for weeks now, and always get "not currently available." I've sent numerous emails to Uploaded and all I can get out of them is that my request was forwarded to the appropriate department. (They didn't even say what department. Could it be the shit can?)
It's beginning to look like a pyramid scheme to me. Unless I can get some BTC from them the only way I can spend my Uploaded income is by using it to buy more Uploaded Premium time (extend my subscription).
Just exactly what am I accomplishing here? I upload hundreds maybe thousands of files to their site, presumably making them more money than my affiliate income, and the only thing I can buy is more Premium time? I can't get paid?
I'm beginning to feel like an Uploaded slave. I'm trapped in a cycle where I keep uploading files and all I get out of it is time to upload more files. No payment except in extending my Premium membership.
BTW I don't even use Uploaded to download files, or rarely. I have no use for their download service. My only interest is getting paid in affiliate income.
I'm beginning to think that my only recourse is to use my income to extend my Premium subscription while I find a different file host.
One that will pay me in BTC.
One of the worst parts of this is that all my emails and complaints are deflected. No information, no answers, no nothing except "your issue has been referred to the appropriate department." Shit, I have three of those here, each with a bowl of water and a handle I press to make the water go down the drain.
Uploaded had better get off the dime and get their Bit4coin service going or they are going to lose this customer. The only thing I'm getting paid for my work is more time to work for free.
