essaybay international wire payment

Jun 10, 2008 | #1
They are not replying to my emails.

Has anyone here experienced being paid by international wire transfer? How long does it take?

It's been 5 days now and I still haven't got my pay.

Attached on merging:
EssayBay does not PAY!!!

Hi

Essaybay does not pay!!! They owe me my $130. I have withdraw the money last June 6 via international wire. As far as I know, wire transfer only takes 3 to 5 days, but it's more than the expected time frame and the money has not yet entered in my account yet. What's wrong with this company!!!

Hello, if you email @essaybay today with your EssayBay username, I can get somebody to look into this.

To speed things along, please check that you've submitted all of the relevant information with your payment request. Requests often get rejected if, for example, writers do not include their bank address, or a valid swift code.

Also, at the moment in our payment console for wire payments, I can only see one request which has no account number, sort code or name attached.

Any problems give one of our team a call.

Thanks,
Carly

Carly, get the heck out of here! Your existing THREE usernames weren't enough! Get it through your head-this is not your platform to w*0re your shameless company like you do with all media outlets.

Hey, Carly, I have an idea: why don't you TURN IN another customer just for the sake of shameless, unethical publicity? Heck, even John Barrie (owner of Turnitin) thought your backstabbing act of betrayal for the sake of PUBLICITY is disgusting.

WB - be nice! Give Carly a chance to tell us all about how Academic Answers `outs' its customers just to make news. I really want to hear her justification for her employer's violation of his own confidentiality guarantee:

"uk essays/guarantees.php]

Fully confidential service

All orders are treated with strictest confidence - we will never give your name or details to anyone. In addition, our writers work under confidentiality agreements: they are not given your details, and will not disclose the details of your order to anyone."


Shouldn't there be a clause stating that this guarantee will be nullified at the first chance of some free publicity? C'mon Carly! Didn't the owner graduate law school? So where's that fine-print clause?

Carly ... the floor is now yours ...

They owe me my $130. I have withdraw the money last June 6 via international wire.

I am not too surprised over your not getting paid ... I am, however, terribly shocked to know that you were hired as a writer. I really do not think you should be writing in English ...

I am confused? I don't have three other user names?

I do not see how helping somebody (who is clearly having a problem getting the money which is rightfully theirs) is 'whoring my shameless company.' If I was sat here posing as a fake writer saying 'oh I get paid on time - it's a really good site' I could see your point. But I am not!

The press release you are referring to is actually quite old, and definitely before my time working on EssayBay - I have no involvement with marketing, PR or anything like that so it'd be over my head to try and pass comment. Though, I am sure if Jen knows anything about it she'll be happy to reply to your concerns. I'll alert her to this thread tomorrow when I am back in work.

Thanks,
Carly

Um, check with your cohorts at Academic Answers.

"Jen" has zero credibility in this forum, so please don't bother sending her here. The only thing that will come of it is her getting embarrassed again. She shows up periodically, gets her *ss handed to her by numerous members, and then leaves without answering particular questions that she KNOWS do not have justifiable answers. She likes to "take the 5th" and disappear when cornered.

You're doing good, Carly. You don't need to bother yourself with the numerically impaired loser above. It's good that essaybay is beginning to shape up its writer support system.

Inquirer, do post if Carly is able to fix your problem. Thanks.

These comments by EW_writer are no surprise, considering that he is an ADMITTED AGENT and self-proclaimed "best writer" of EB who wants its PROMOTION to continue in this forum.

Um, check with your cohorts at Academic Answers.

But, I personally only have 1 user name?

I only signed up because I saw that writers were having problems with some parts of the site, and I wanted to assure them that said problems could be resolved by letting us know.

Currently, we do not have our own forum, or a message board for writers to report problems like this (something we will hopefully be adding as part of the restructure), so if I notice somebody is having difficulties with the site, instead of letting them sit there and feel angry about it, I might as well offer to sort the problem out... (In this instance, I cannot even see a funds transfer request from the writer in question, so my guess is he didn't give us the correct information to process it. A problem which can very easily resolved.)

Again, referring back to your previous point, how is this 'whoring my shameless company?' And referring back to my previous point, I am hardly touting for business, or posing as somebody else as many many other companies seem to do on this message board.

I've had a look at the article that was linked here and:

(a) It is about Essaybay rather than a website of Academic Answers whereas the guarantee you quote is from Academic Answers' websites.

(b) I can't see that the customer's details were disclosed in any case. It mentions that there were 7 orders of the same question from a university from a coach, but it doesn't say which university, what the question was or anything else. I think there are more than 30,000 private schools in America and it could be any one of them.

Just a reminder to genuine visitors out there who are looking for genuine information about problematic companies...

EssayScam is a forum for customers and writers to let others know when they've been scammed by an Essay Company. Unfortunately be aware that some people who post on this forum have neither used, nor been scammed, by an essay company, but spend their entire time trying to take down other essay companies (look how many posts they make!). I hope forum users have the sense to ask themselves, what possible motivation could someone have for coming into this forum and attempting to take down other essay companies if they themselves have not used or scammed such a company? What benefit could they have in knocking those companies and trying to disuade others from using them? No need to answer, it's rhetorical! ;-)

As always, I'm happy to help with any genuine problems.

Are you serious? WOW. Now Jennifer is claiming that EssayBay is not a property of Academic Answers. That's funny, because the bottom of the EssayBay home page reads the following:

"Part of Academic Answers Ltd"

Plus, the following Google search results page lists hundreds of sites on which Academic Answers not only admits to owning EssayBay, but promotes that ownership:

google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=%22essaybay%22+%22academic+answers%22

It mentions that there were 7 orders of the same question from a university from a coach.

Jennifer's excuse for stabbing a trusting customer in the back is that "we didn't specifically name him." Jennifer, wake up-people close to a given situation can read between the lines. You posted more than adequate clues about the order to, at the very least, make the buyer unfairly and undeservedly nervous about losing both his job and getting 7 of his athletes expelled (and endangering any sports scholarships that they would otherwise receive). You don't think that he has been sweating bullets since you betrayed his trust?

Jenny, your attempt to change the subject and direct some sport of "guilt" onto me simply for pointing out your unethical practices reinforces the fact that you have no excuse for your misrepresentations, either:

Hmmm, I think Jen was attempting to distinguish between all the AA sites like Law Teacher, UK Essays etc and saying that EssayBay is a complete separate entity to those sites, their guarantees and their terms of service. (Although, I agree the way she's written it sounds as if EssayBay is not apart of the 'Academic Answers' LTD company.)

A good example is that all of our other sites offer a plagiarism-free guarantee - whereas on EssayBay the writers set their own guarantees. So, say a mass change to all the AA sites to update a with a new guarantee usually leaves EssayBay out!

As you have rightfully pointed out, we've never hidden the fact EB is apart of AA, and we openly promote it to our customers - we're very proud of it!

Good enough. Jennifer could certainly learn a thing or two from you. (If she would take the time to read between the lines instead of focusing her posts on personally insulting me just because I point out her mistakes, she would understand that I am HELPING your company to clarify errors and inconsistencies on its sites.

Jennifer also needs to justify each of the following:

I've been looking for a new place to write after quitting essaywriters.net, and I came across essaybay. right from the start, they lost my username and password, and I haven't been able to get in touch with them. this is before I even took any orders. it doesn't bode well.

incidentally, I am noticing a lot of prescriptive grammarian snootiness going on here. can I suggest that the snoots, you know who you are, put a lid on it? it's censorious and annoying. this is a message board, not an essay test. people should be able to relax and use whatever descriptive grammar they see fit.

Hey RustyIronChains. As you're probably aware from reading the EssayBay threads, I've taken over the running of the EssayBay site recently.

I can help you sort out the username / password issue instantly - I'm not sure how your account would have been lost - but send me over the email address you used to register the account with, and I'll look into it. I know WB doesn't like us giving out our company email accounts on here, so if you could private message me and I'll sort it for you.

If the account has gone, I'll set you up a new one, but you'll have to refill your profile details etc.

I'm not working now until Monday morning, but I'll check my messages on here over the weekend for you & send you over my response. (Incase I'm a little slow to respond - you'll know why!)

WB - didn't I already answer #2 for you - we're not actively promoting the EssayBank - I've just not removed the link from the sidebar on EssayBay because it it's working, and it does us no harm. I said I'd probably be moving it, or scrapping it altogether with the redesign this autumn.

she would understand that I am HELPING your company to clarify errors and inconsistencies on its sites.

I appreciate this, because as you know, our company has several different sites, lots of different departments and quite a lot of staff working for us now. We're doing our best to iron out these inconsistencies, and we're doing a lot to try and improve communications through teams - so anything you spot, as you say, will help us to improve.

For example, I am fairly certain the meta description on Law Teacher (which caused a few discrepancies in the Viper thread) was just a simple error overlooked by one of our SEO/web team members. 'Professionally written law essays' may have been a new keyword we were aiming for on this site, and somebody may have opened and searched through Law Teacher files locally, and replaced instances of 'law essays' with 'professionally written law essays' - not really taking it into account that it doesn't even make sense on this page, and it can be misleading. A human error!? The essay bank on UK Essays mentions nowhere that they're written by professionals, nor does the essay bank on EssayBay or Degree Essays.

I'm not saying that in this instance that is exactly what happened - I don't work on that site - what I am getting at, is that I know we never set out to mislead people, so personally I feel when you point these things out to us, it gives us a scope to improve. You've obviously felt mislead - so who else has? All by a tiny, overlooked change in meta description!

We can iron out these problems and hopefully deliver a better service. I'll get my colleague Dan to change this on Monday - though I can't actually see the EssayBank linked on Law Teacher at all (I only did a quick scan of the menu though).

As I've mentioned before, the article on the coach I cannot comment on, as it was before my time, and I know nothing about the PR side of things. All I can say is that I'll take something positive from this, and ensure that any future PR carried out for EssayBay is more careful.

Sorry, but you're wrong. ANYONE who finds lawteacher.net via a Google search (which is exactly how I found it) sees the "professionally written" misrepresentation in the description that Google displays (which Google takes from your meta description).

This is also about Jennifer being accountable for-and admitting-her misrepresentations and apologizing for her personal insults against me simply because I have pointed out problems that obviously nobody in your own company noticed or understood.

ANYONE who finds lawteacher.net via a Google search sees the "professionally written" misrepresentation in the description that Google displays.

The preceding image is a screen capture of Google search results from Friday, June 19, 2009. Anyone can clearly see the "professionally written" misrepresentation to which countless consumers are potentially subjected simply by searching for "law essay bank" (or similar) in Google.

WB, I was agreeing with you.

I was saying that I think this is just a little change made by our SEO team that got overlooked - we never intended on misleading anybody. I think Dan (or whoever was working on LT at the time) made the change focusing on this keyword, and didn't really think about it in the context of the page. (Agreeing again, that it's a perhaps a breakdown in communication here?)

I also pointed out that I appreciate your input - if you feel mislead, who else out there feels that way too? We don't want to mislead people!

I'll get Dan to review the tag on Monday (though, if/when Google change it will be down to Google.) which will hopefully clear up this matter. I really don't think anybody has intended to mislead our customers with this - would we write 'professionally written' on all of our EssayBanks, not just Law Teacher if this was the case?

On to your last point, I can do what I usally do and grab Jen next time I see her, or drop her an email alerting her to the fact you'd like her to respond to your points. As always, I'll be happy to pass on your request. (If she doesn't drop by here first?)

.. and final point, thank you for noticing the error and alerting us to it.

anyway, essaybay is hilarious-- they keep sending me emails telling me what my username and password are, and telling me to log in, and I keep emailing them back that the username and password they are giving me don't work. repeat. thanks for the personal note, "Carly," about maybe addressing the problem Monday, but, it'll be too late. your system is bugging already, and I haven't even started-- this is a sign for me to move on.

I actually was saying that even though I am not on company time, and I'm off this weekend, I'll happily log onto our system and work the problem out for you, if you private message me.

I am sorry to hear that you are giving up on EssayBay - as I have pointed out numerous times in this forum, we've noticed the site has a lot of problems for users and we're aiming to iron them out as best we can. Gradually we'll be improving the interface, and the system itself, with a large reprogramming and redesign project scheduled in for the autumn.

I've already been working with our customer services team to improve support, and I have many many more plans in place (for example, rewriting the FAQs and some help guides too.)

What I am trying to say is, I hope I can convince you that we're working on the problems, and you'll stick with us. :-)

International electronic wire hansfers can take anywhere from 30- 45 days depending upon the banking laws of the countries on both ends. It isa scary method to pay writers by whichis why I avoid using it as a payment channel for my writers. Personally, I believe that writers should bepaid as qquickly as possible, weekly if the situation permits. I hate it when they fret about how long it will take for them to receive their salary.

I agree. With all of the electronic money transfers and epayment wallets available these days, it is a bit concerning when a company would want to pay a writer using such an outdated banking method. If the company does not have any emoney service in their payment line-up, then the applicant should think twice about continuing with his sign up process. A decent company will pay the writer either in real time, or within 2 banking days, depending upon the electronic payment conduit. Even Paypal had to adjust their payment schedule for writers to real time when they started losing out to the newer players in the money transfer game.

It is a scary method in the sense that the length of time it takes to complete a wire transfer could very well be the financial end of any writer who schedules his bill payments by the schedule of his salary release. There are several problems that could occur with a wire transfer that could throw their debt repayment schedule into a tailspin. In the era of electronic payments, there is absolutely no reason for a writer to agree to an outdated payment / money transfer mode.

The essay company for which I did the most work actually paid us by paper checks sent through the USPS. They eventually stopped doing this, but for many years, they also charged every writer $10/month for "check processing fees" which was probably illegal.
noted  8 | 2042 ☆☆☆☆☆  
Dec 15, 2021 | #37
That fee was definitely illegal. What the companies used to call processing fees were actually overpriced checkbook charges. They were making the writers pay for every piece of check issued, and any error checks they may have accidentally created. They had the writers paying the cost for the full checkbook, and then some. For some reason, they did not want to write the checkbook costs off as an office expense. Luckily, very few companies these days still deal with paper checks when it comes to paying for their writer salaries.
