Gapbuster not paying this month??
Maybe it's just me, but emailing a MSC who has 1,000's of shoppers, for a payment that is 3 days late seems excessive....
Actually I think ONE email would have been fine, then wait several business days before following up. Three emails in three days, yes that is excessive.

Not excessive if the shopper was depending on the payment. Shopping company promised payment on a certain date. Tell the mortgage company the mortgage is late since the trickle down effect is now in place.
I haven't been paid this month yet either. The October payment came through on the 29th, so hopefully it will show up this weekend sometime.

I won't shop for GAPbuster anymore. Having to fight for pay and very bad unprofessional communication.
Shopperwho, please elaborate. Until this thread, I don't recall any negatives about Gapbuster.

On the 28 I received a phoned call from one scheduler to do shops this weekend. I asked him where was my wife and my payment for this month. He said he would check with his supervisor and get back to me. 2 days later still waiting for an answer.
My wife and I still inquiring about last november and this January payment. Both month we were both short. Still no answer from them. They totally ignore any inquiry about payment. I know they lost MacDonald just over 2 years ago, WHY I was unable to find out.

Cherisepearl: Please edit your post. You have mentioned both an MSC and a client. That is not allowed on this forum and by your ICA. Second, what is gapbusters stated payment policy.
There policy is they pay on the 26 of each month for shops done the previous month, via paypal.

I'm glad you were at least able to find your wife.

I don't think he made it clear that he did find her,
it was just implied, or if he even wanted too.

James - I had started a thread on March 6 about a shop I completed for Gapbuster, out of town and bonused, that ended up with a "cancelled / rejected" note beside it shortly after completion. The shop was completed in the required time frame, submitted on time, all instructions followed, photo uploaded, etc - this was not a new assignment to me, it was one that I had successfully completed before. In spite of sending multiple emails, I have had no response to my inquiries and we are coming up on the four week mark.
And now it is April, and no sign of payment for February shops - no note on their web site, nothing. Normally this wouldn't bother me too much, but more than half of what I am owed is reimbursements that are sitting on my Visa, waiting to be paid off.
I have never had trouble with this company, prior to March. If this was a new company to me, I would cross them off my list.

Those of us that really "want" our money should be proactive...this is how it starts when a company begins to have problems....nip it in the bud....
I have not received payment for my February shops either, and I cannot get an answer regarding this. I have sent both emails and enquiries via the website and have received no reply. I believe in the time I've been shopping with them, their payments were only late once, and that time there was a bulletin posted on the website advising shoppers of this.
Dhunt1, and the others, are right. This is not normal for Gapbuster to simply not pay and not advise.
I have spoken to a few schedulers who have called asking me to do shops, and not one of them has given me a straight answer. It is either they will get back to me, or for me to "be patient, it should show up tomorrow."
I don't blame anyone here for being concerned, or upset. This is, for some of us, a part time, or even full time, employment that we rely on. To not get paid does affect our finances, especially at the beginning of the month when rent or mortgage, or car payments come due.

Just received a note from paypal that my payment from Gapbuster is there. Anyone else get paid? I hope so.

Patience brings reward. Got paid for Feb/ every penny of it.
Got one too. Payment was slightly short again this month. My wife payment was right on. But she still missing money from last December shop.

I've learned not to rely on gapbuster for payment. They seem to be late all the time, but they've never shorted me money yet (that I can tell, anyway).
Every time I see an overseas number show up on my caller ID, I always answer because they pay good premiums. But they're not very fast about replying to emails unless it's about accepting a new shop.

So far, I've always been paid by Gapbuster. They pay by PayPal.

Interesting. I have them listed as paying by direct deposit. Maybe they do both depending on where you live? Or maybe they have changed, I'm guessing it has been a year or more since I have worked for them. .
