🚨 VENMO IS OUT TO GET ME. AND PAYPAL AND I ARE NO LONGER SPEAKING. 😂
Y’all, I promise I am trying to get you PAID! But apparently Venmo has decided my business account and I are no longer on speaking terms. 🙃
What does that mean for you? Payouts are taking a wee bit longer than usual while I shuffle funds around to get everyone paid through Venmo. Is it ideal? Absolutely not. Am I working on a solution? You bet your favorite saddle I am!
🏦 ENTER: ACH PAYMENTS!
I’m heading to the bank to get everything set up so we can start using the ACH payment feature through our SimpleConsign portal. Once it’s ready, you’ll be able to set yourself up for direct deposits. This should make payouts WAY faster, WAY easier, and WAY less dependent on Venmo’s mood swings. 🎉
💸 NOW, LET’S TALK PAYOUTS!
Because I know everyone likes knowing when their money is coming, here’s how the process works:
📌 Step 1: Once your item sells, there is a 7-day waiting period before the funds are released through the SimpleConsign portal.
📌 Step 2: Once those funds are released, I review and process payouts EVERY FRIDAY. Yes, every Friday!
📌 Step 3: Here’s when you get paid:
💰 Venmo or ACH: Balances over $50 are paid out.
✉️ Paper check: Balances over $200 are paid out.
🪙 Balances under $50: Hang tight until your balance reaches $50 OR 30 days have passed, whichever comes first.
🪙Balances under $200 (Paper Check folks ONLY): No payments are issued until your balance goes over $200. I can send ACH or Venmo pay outs if you need your money faster.
🚫 IMPORTANT: PAYPAL IS OFFICIALLY OUT.
I am NO LONGER ACCEPTING PAYPAL PAYMENTS OR USING PAYPAL FOR CONSIGNOR PAYOUTS.
Why? Because PayPal apparently doesn't respect my very clearly written return policy—which is included on EVERY invoice I send out. So, we're breaking up. It's not me; it's them. 🤷♀️
Please make sure you're prepared to use another payment method going forward!
❤️ A LITTLE PATIENCE GOES A LONG WAY!
I know money matters, and I take paying my consignors seriously. I want you paid just as much as you want to be paid! I'm working to get this system streamlined so we can spend less time fighting payment platforms and more time doing what we actually enjoy: getting good equestrian gear into the hands of the people who need it.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE reach out if you have questions about your balance, payout timing, or how to get set up for ACH. I'm happy to walk you through the process and answer any questions.
Thanks for rolling with the punches, supporting Red Pony Consignment, and putting up with my ongoing feud with technology. 😂
