I am awaiting answer from mylot admin regarding payment. I live in South Africa, I have a verified Paypal account but have not been paid by mylot. I made payout amount two months ago and it just gets carried over, not paid.
I did a bit of searching around on mylot and found a section that shows a list of countries that mylot will pay through Paypal, and South Africa is not on that list. I did query this and I am waiting for an answer.
What if they say they will not pay me (more than $15). It may not seem like a lot of money but it took a long time to get it. If they do not pay, why not told me that when I signed up to mylot, then I could have decided to stay for the company of all good mylotters, or stop participation, or not sign up at all.
Maybe I would have still been a member but on a more social base because sometimes one has to make time to fit mylot in, especialy if you see you are close to making payout.
What would you do????

I've checked the Paypal countries list.South Africa is on "send only" list.It seems that it's unavailable for Mylot to process your payout.Now,what I suggest is to create tasks with your Mylot balance(so you won't lose it)for program that uses other payment processor which is available in your country.This way you'll get some referrals for your program and some part of these money will return to you through referrals.Think about this idea.

I am so sorry to hear that. but unfortunately i did see that list of countries not being paid through paypal and South Africa was one of them. if i were in your shoes, i would be tormented and upset for all the waste time an energy. just like when i got suspended and begged for them to reinstate my old account for 3 months of wait..which was canceled btw.

hello Beertjie,
So sorry to know that you haven't receive your payment yet. Indeed it's only of small amount but what matters is that you were able to meet the minimum payout. And for that, you did a lot of effort,time and hard work before meeting it.
But then again, your country is not in the list or covered by paypal. And for that, in my own opinion mylot made it clear before you signed in regarding this. Maybe you can write them again and tell them about your concern. And maybe they can help you out. Good luck.

Good day... I think you should wait a little for mylot to answer. I mean and I'm not being bias or anything it is the responsible of the person signing about the terms and policy of the company he/she's signing in to. It's hard to put that responsibility on the company and we really have to read diligently and carefully specially when it pertains to payout.
I hope things would work out for you. good luck.

Unfortunately, you are mistake there. They DO inform us about how payments are processed through certain countries and i suggest to try another alternative way to receiver your pay rather than paypal. I'm sure they provide a payment process which is allowed in South Africa. Although it may not be through Paypal, atleast you recieve your payout from all the hardwork you did. Hope this does not effect your stay at myLot. Continue to myLot and good luck.

If you read the terms fully, it says that only in the United States will make money on the site. I will try and find where it is so I can tell you where it says that.

Beertjie,
I would check if the following are in order first:
1. Preset Minimum Payout Amount - What is your set Minimum Payout Amount?
2. Paypal ID is correct.
Having determined that the above are in order, then it will be right to write to the administrators and wait for their reply. It is just highly unlikely that myLot here will miss you out intentionally or accidentally. I find their reputation and credibility very high here.
It is really an interesting case here and I would really appreciate a follow up on the events forthcoming. Please keep us updated.
Have a nice day.

Oh that sucks that SA is not on your payout list. I think paypal is hardly available in most African countries as the internet there is not as widely popular as it is in the western world. You could try opening another paypal account and register it as either UK or USA as those are the two countries paypal recognizes the most. Or you could just open a task and transfer your earnings there. Either way I hope you resolve this soon as it's not pleasant to not get paid!
