Why haven’t I been paid?

Artist payments are sent out starting on the 15th of the month. Is it the end of the month, and you haven’t received your payment? Here are the main reasons why this might be happening. Let’s rule them out! 

  1. Your payment is on the way! Payments start being processed at the beginning of each month, but the process takes time. Your payment will be sent to your financial account by the 15th. Learn more about payment processing times.
  2. You haven’t reached the Payment Threshold. The Payment Threshold requires your account balance (earnings after account fee deductions) to reach $10 / 10€ / £10 by the end of the pay period.
  3. Your payment details are invalid or incomplete. You must have valid and complete payment details in order to be payable. If a previous payment attempt failed, please update your payment details ASAP! Learn more about unpayable artist accounts.
  4. Your PayPal account is not verified. A verification step is included to ensure that all payments via PayPal are legitimate. 
  5. The order has not shipped, or the shipping date of the product you sold is not within the pay period. It might happen that you make a sale within the pay period, but the product shipped after the pay period ended. Since the sales of a product are not made payable until it ships, those earnings will be paid in the following pay period.
  6. Your account was suspendedIf your account is no longer in good standing, any balance will be frozen in accordance with the Redbubble User Agreement.

If you’ve reached the Payment Threshold, your PayPal account is verified, your account is in good standing, and you haven’t received your payment yet, please get in touch with Artist Support, and we’ll be more than happy to investigate!
