ZOOTED will pay.... next year?
 

Do anyone receive checks from zooted since december?

i received this mail 2 weeks ago... still no check in da box....

<<Hello there. we are sending out periods 128 and 129 this week. we fell a little behind due to an unexpected fine from mastercard that we incurred for oct 2001 - march 2002. Along with one of our other banks not releasing some of our funds on time. Rest assured, we are doing everything we can to catch up and get back on pace. Have no fear, you will be paid.

thank you,
jonas>>


Well, i have no fear Jonas :1orglaugh think that other programs pay every week, not every 3 months...........

Fuck da quote! lol heres the mail :

oh shit.

i havent received a check as well for a while,but i think it's a temp. problem

last cheque i received had date 1/17
i always make the min, so they are behind on payments

so i got paid up to 125 period and now we are on 136 period.....not good

hrm

no check since period 127.......... Zooted was my favourite cos their sites aren't overexposed.....

Now they suck! :321GFY :321GFY

Which gay programm will i use instead? Nasty is really overexposed, so..............

Nicowest, i got an e-mail from Jonas that they work on it and will catch up. Let's give them some more time. Shit happens to everyone and they run a good program.

I'm inclined to trust Jonas from Zooted to pay up. I've been dealing with him since 98 and he's always been a straight up guy. Notice he didn't bullshit and fuck around, he came right out and admitted they were behind. :2 cents:

Zooted is one the best gay programs. They have been paying on time for years and this is the first late payment in the history of the program. I have personally done lots of business with Zooted and I know I will be paid. These guys are very solid. As Soul_Rebel said, shit can happen to anyone.

Well, i'm waiting now..... But i think they could send a mail to their webmasters in order to inform them.

I know i will not find any best gay programm anywhere ( 0$ for 3 days trial is excellent for marketing:Graucho ) but i also like to be pay on time.:2 cents:

The fine part is interesting though given the current VISA clamp down and changes and the fact it was before any of that happened. Makes you wonder if it was chargeback related or if not why it happened as in theory it's now easier than ever to get fined by the card companies.

I'm with Petr and Soul_Rebel on this.

Zooted is great. Jonas and Emil are stand-up guys. First started sending them traffic 5 or 6 years ago.

"Mastercard".

Oops - brain fart. Principle is the same though at the moment.

It's not a dig at zooted just curious is all :)

hello. we usually don't come to this board, but it was brought to my attention via email. So first, i would like to apologize for any delay in responding.

I would also like to thank loyal webmasters, friends for coming to our defense. Also, it would have been nicer to have emailed our company first before going straight to a board. And anyone that has emailed us, we have filled them in on our current situation. which is:

Yes, we are behind. We have been in this business since 97 and have been paying on time since 98. Now, for the first time in our long history, we have experienced an obstacle, which we will overcome, just will take us a little longer then expected. The problem we are having is that , yes we were fined by Mastercard for going over the allowed chargeback rate for oct2001 - march 2002. we unfortunately didn't get fined till many months later. Unexpected also. Since, of course our cb rate on Visa and Mastercard has been below the allowed rate and we shuold not be fined ever again. Now, a big chunk of change is unfortunately being held by one of our international banks. Not because we did anything wrong, but because they decided to get out of the adult processing business and have unfortunately for us taken for fuckin ever to release our funds. (an ongoing battle).....

Now, will everyone be paid, yes. will it take us a little more time to get back on track, yes. We hope that our loyal webmasters stick through this, but like any business, we understand that everyone needs to be paid (and on time) and if that means leaving us, we hate to see you go, but we can't blame you.

True - our program has done well for many people. It still does. We use all incoming money to pay webmasters and at the same time keep our members happy. we are in the process of paying off periods 128 - 129 and should be sending out periods 130 - 131 at the end of next week.

Now, we hope that this answers some concerns. Any future concerns, questions, etc... can be emailed to us.
all emails are always answered.

Thank you.

Welcome on board Jonas, I'm sure webmasters understand the situation. You have many loyal affiliates and your sites really rock. I have seen some of the members areaa and I do know you put a lot of effort and money on them. Your honest response is really appreciated as already mentioned. :)

hi there Jonas! :)

First, i'd like to tell you that i didn't 'attack' zooted. I love your program, you know.
You always answered to my mails.

I've just ask people if they received their checks.

I can understand your actual problems and i hope you will be back soon.

Checks have gone back and forth between Jonas and I since at least 98.

He's a stand up guy. No bullshit.

Hi,

Jonas has been around for years and him and Zooted are top rated in my book.

We have done lots of biz together and it always went perfect.


Welcome to GFY Jonas :)


todd

once again, thank you for sticking by us, defending us, etc.... Rest Assure, we will be back on top of things as soon as we can. Thank You!

I just got my check for period 129. :)

Do anyone else reeived his check for period 129?

:2 cents: :2 cents:

bump

Waiting.. i think i know this word ;)

sorry for the lateness she said :1orglaugh

Bump?

What happened you guys forgot to cancel members when they requested to be cancelled?

no, they were fined by Mastercard for going over the allowed chargeback rate for oct2001 - march 2002.

Zooted are damn good people, and they have always been known to get late here and there.. but they do explain why they are paying out late. though.

Jonas,
if you need funds to cover this hole,
LMK,
I'll lend you anything you need on a handshake.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Would be great for affiliates.

I got check from Zooted a few days ago. I know they're a little behind but they were behind once before and they caught up, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. They seem like good guys.

[commercial hat back on] We're also launching a new gay program in a few days, so if anyone wants guaranteed weekly payouts, talk to me! :winkwink:

Which period did you received?

I live in france so i think that the check will take a little more time to arrrive.

bump

once again, thank you to everyone for coming to our defense.

Serge - thank you for the offer.


Nico - once again, thank you for constantly posting and not emailing us. We sent our peroids 128 and 129 and currently working on getting out half of periods 130 and 131. The rest of 130 and 131 shall go out next week. Unfortunately we still have not received our money from our international processor. But any money that comes in, goes out right away to zooted webmasters. all without my partner and I getting paid.

As for chargebacks, we have always credited our customers, etc... No need for us to even go there and debate.

Thanks again for the support and we wil get through this. We are doing our best to resolve this. thank you!

It was 128/129 we received. And if they've reached us here in the UK, they should have got to France by now.

No 128/129 period check here.

Actually it's period 139... we're talking about 10 weeks late....

I can understand payment problems... but 10 week.... too much for me, i'm stopping Zooted programm.

I think you've made your point!

This is why affiliate programs paid out directly by the biller are so much better. I couldn't sit on your money if I wanted to-- even if I was (hypothetically) beyond broke myself.

Well i think i'll continue business with europeans programms.
I can't do anything with an US programm. If they were europeans, i would introduce them my lawyer...

Never mind, I made an error once, not two.

97..
