b. Tracking Earnings

Members can track earrings on their post-pay counter updated every 24 to 48 hours.

c.  Payments

1- Payments will be paid via PayPal only on the first of every month and may take 48 to 72 hours to be posted to your PayPal account. To receive payment the author’s payout due must reach 1 dollar US by the first of the month. If a member’s account has not reached a payment of 1 dollar US it will continue to accrue till the author does reach that threshold on the first of the next month or months to come.

2- Payoneer option: This option is only available for paid memberships. For members in certain countries where Paypal may not be available, then we have a second option which is Payoneer. To use this option you must notify the admins of this by writing support@ourfashionpassion. Make the email title Payoneer option. Give your first and last name, user name, and Payoneer email. Keep in mind that Payoneer only allows payments of 20 USD. So to receive a payment with this option you must reach a threshold of 20 USD. That may take several or more months but will be sent on the first of the next month your payment is 20 USD or more.

3- Payments that can not be processed due to no Paypal email or a Paypal that can not accept payments that have not opted into the Payoneer option will be marked as paid after 32 days and can not be collected thereafter.

4- If members’ PayPal is not working at the time of payment, it is the member’s responsibility to ensure their PayPal can accept payments from the USA. Also, the member will need to wait until the next month to receive their payment as we can not make multiple attempts to pay an account.

5- The maximum number of page views where a member can receive earnings is currently 1068. We plan to expand this as our finances allow.

d. Fraud Warning

We have created Fashonation to give members a safe environment where they can earn extra money from their hard work and have fun. Sadly there are certain elements that will always try to beat the system without concern for other members.

We have a zero-tolerance policy for fraud of any kind and have systems in place to quickly detect and eradicate it.

Any attempts to deceive our counting systems including but not limited to: micro click page visits, bot page visits, bot ad clicks, fraud ad clicks, bot clicks, and many more also called inauthentic traffic will result in immediate and permanent account suspension without appeal and all monies on that account will be immediately forfeited so as to refund the affected advertisers.

You can not pay for traffic to your blogs. No Ads of any kind may be run to drive traffic to your blogs.

You will not be given any more information as to how we detected attempts to deceive our systems to protect our algorithms from hackers who may try to build systems to circumvent our protection.

Fashonation reserves the right at any time to suspend any member for any reason or no reason.
