notice the (-$80.50): that's how much I'm being fined. what you can't see from this snippet is, that this was originally a $50 paper, which I got a $17 bonus on. then, out of the blue, essaywriters.net told me that the paper was plagiarized, so the customer was refunded. I'm still not sure why the fine exceeds the original value of the paper by about thirty bucks.
Err.. I can tell you. >.< They fined you for plagiarism and for the entire worth of the paper. I have to agree with dearbats regarding the quotations being considered as plagiarism though. However, ew did most likely screw you up coz I sincerely doubt that they refunded the client since the client didn't complain (right?).
Initially they warn you and ask you to reduce the citations, after which they begin to fine you, I guess.
I don't think so. If the plagiarism detector got it, the fine was automatic. Happens to me when I work on editing orders if the client plagiarized the paper that I had to edit. However in these cases, I was always able to reason my way out of the fine (since fining me for the client's fault when all I was supposed to do was correct the client's Engrish is too unfair, even for them).
