Hi markpick,
Tough call, personally I'd keep them in and see what happens in the next couple of weeks. You could always set your account to withdraw now and make some orders through Merchants. Seems to take about 2 months to receive your order from Merchants going on what's been said on forums.
I've got a check pending since May and depending on any news in the next couple of weeks I'll either cancel it or keep it in the queue.
I believe we'll get some positive news in the next 2 weeks and things will pick up. I'm not convinced VAT wil come off but am sure plans are afoot to wipe out the backlog through other banks. :D
Thanks, I just haven't been able to decide. I appreciate your input.
Anytime, just my own thoughts on it.
Welcome to the forum. 8)
i concur with adster, i was facing the same choice at the weekend, already have merchant withdrawals pending ( 3 weeks) and several withdrawals in the queue right back up to march. I called picpay to ask if i should cancel the DC withdrawal, she didnt really know what managements line on it was, but said probably better to keep it in there. Actually maybe split the difference cancel one to make a merchant withdraw, or use ROL.
I would cancel and get it out another way.
No one knows if they will even set something back up with that particular company.
If they don't you will have waited in vain.
Just leave it .. right about the time you cancel, things will pick up..
Just roll off new money to buy from the merchants.. that way you have two things going for you.. One is bound to happen. Oh and MJE sales is a trusted merchant..
I am still waiting on a May 25th order.. turned shipped but the funds still have not been given to the merchant.. Hope they speed things up.. this is not the 5 to 10 days the ceo stated.. nothing he says seems to happen in the time frame he declares.. hopefully this will not turn into another 7 month back log.. it is beyond ridiculous at this point.!!!!
Now THAT is funny!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!Quote:

-Lordtruth
why "only 7 weeks"?
you didn't count time needed for funds has been approved by picpay... 8)
You know, I think we ought to give the CEO a deadline.
He has been saying that good things are about to happen. In fact, he's been saying that for a couple of months now. So, it seems to me that we ought to have the right to hold him to his promise. It only seems reasonable that something could be worked out within the next 60 days. If it isn't worked out in the next 60 days we will pretty much have our answer about whether this is a legitimate program or not.
If it isn't then we can discuss what actions will be taken at that time. If it is, then we can relax and count the pennies as they are deposited into our accounts.
So, as of right now the timer is counting. There are 59 days, 23 hours, and 54 minutes before we will know for sure.

If you want to talk to mods, please send a PM.
I have deleted your quotation of readymix's post because I deleted his post which was out of line completely.
This forum is not a PIPS forum. It is run by members in an effort to help other members with login problems and other such problems.....
We are NOT able to help you with PIPS's problems......
then go - you will find a very busy man, but one who will find time to talk to you. As you can imagine, he is inundated with people turning up to 'get straight answers'.
Well, Timewise this countdown will at least comfort the impatient and it's fun... this is the least you can say... :-).Quote:

Some IT project deadlines tend to morph into real extended-suffering-lines (whether or not ended by euthanasia, but let's stay positive :wink:). There are several parties involved here. Delays caused by (administrative,...) procedures and consultations aren't all in their hands, etc, etc.
Moreover, (if you believes that) P*P* (is real, you probably realise it's) swimming upstream one of the most powerful rivers that exist.... and it's no conspiracy theory to accept the possibility that it might have grown to such a (competitive) size that some sharks get worried or active and will not worry about poking some sticks in the wheels...
Of course this is speculation, but I guess it's a reasonable assumption... So...
Considering the above, isn't it a little undue to link the legitimacy of this entire program to such timely delivery? I would rather say that the time required for a solution more often is a good measure for the problems one is dealing with.Quote:

So... better than this deadline... we better quit relying on eventual ROLs to come, live our life, let the future surprise us & (try to) relax...
... not imho... I would rather plee for more careful posts as long things aren't tested thoroughly, settled & ready to run... Just reminding the 'YES! Yesyesyesyesyes! Great... it...' (...) 's%$#' or the 'well, this is probably the last issue we've to resolve' (haha) experience familiar to many IT guys (I guess...).Quote:

Well... anyway... If eventually you'll 'have to' come to action at the end of your deadline, I can only hope these actions will be supportive and may have a (positive) difference to the big issues going on.... Unfortunately, such initiatives are rather scarse over here... so I will most gladly read about them :wink:.
Good post Hasse, cogent and well reasoned.
I agree with much of what you have said. There are almost certainly great challenges that have to be overcome. So let me explain my position more fully. My 60 day deadline is for us to see some sort of momentum build within PxPS. Not every withdrawal has to be complete, but some witdrawal's ought to be. There should be regular weekly updates. There should be much better communication between the merchants and PxPS corporate. There should be a better payment process in place for the merchants, or at least some time frame as to when a better payment process will be in place. There should be a quicker response time on the helpdesk. There should be some indication that things are getting better.
Otherwise what are we supposed to do? Wait indefinitely? Should I restart my counter at 730 days so that he has two full years before being held accountable?
However, my intention is not to bash PxPS but rather set a timeline for action. If none of the above things have been done in 60 days then I don’t believe they will ever be done.

730 days and counting???
Who are any of you to set any precedences for anyone,,,,,,,,,,,,
You all need to go back to your PIPS acc open up the terms and conditions page and have another read,, section 14. second sentence...
Then reaccess your comments ..................
Twicewise... thanks for your kind words and for clarifying your point... it's a pleasure exchanging thoughts with you.
Indeed... Without coming back to my previous post, you address a fundamental issue here :? ...Quote:

I realise I shouldn't be too proud on my patience as it might have been quite otherwise if I had invested more. And I honestly don't know how long I'll listen to my 'ratio' telling me that (as long as there are signs that management is working hard to get things moving) a loss of patience means I let my personal interest (longing for $$) prevail on the general one (pips, long term perspective)... As such, I guess everyone has his/her own limit to which patience can be 'stretched'.
So please, forget about these 730 days... I admit you'll do me a favour, saving me from the thought of having a finger all around the forum constantly pointing at some statement of (naive) me, made a long time ago :shock: ... I don't know what I would do or think... :lol:. Or on a more serious note... even though my time frame may be different, I can't but accept your 60 days... We'll see what we'll get by then :wink:.
Take care!

In fact, it says that I will get my money in 3-5 days. I accept that Picpay is having problems delivering right now, but don't tell us to read the terms and conditions of PIPS for a problem that we have with Picpay.
Interesting point of view.
Yes ,but when you request funds from your PICPAY account from where do these funds come,,,,,,,,,,,PICPAY is only a go between for PIPS and you/us,,,,,,,,,,,,,or do you think that the 2 identities are not attached.......
Of course the companies work together, but it has been stated many times, that they are two separate companies. When the funds show up in my PICpay account, they are no longer PIPS funds.
If PIPS is not ready or able to pay the funds, they should be pending as a transfer to PICpay until such time that they can be transferred to my PICpay and I am able to withdrawal them in the period of time stipulated on the website, which I agreed to when opening an account, which is apparently as good as a signature (according to some).
Yes - P*PS and P*CPAY even share the same offices. I have talked with numerous people that have visited in the last 2 months. Estimated totals of something like 30 - 35 employees for the whole operation. Only 4-5 people answering phones. hmmmmmm...
Most of us would be appeased with some better communication - so if that means more phone lines or a couple of more people on board I'm sure that would be very much appreciated by those of us waiting.
Bang on,panama.
The risk of loss is eliminated,supposedly,the second funds hit Picpay.That's the mindset we ALL need to adopt;maybe that's why we haven't gotten our wd's because most of us still think our funds are at risk,even after they've hit our Picpay accts,which is,all things being equal,FALSE.
Maybe them's the negative vibes WE are sending out;it's time for a change.
I agree,beagle:if staff shortage is causing all this grief,more should be hired/trained.It's simply just that complicated,I think.
