Yeah, about that. It says the timeframe is now 0 to 5 days.

wtf kind of range is that? The timeframe isn't a huge problem, especially not in light of the reduced fee, but that's kind of a gaping margin.

Kinda odd. I'm going to keep an eye out and see how often their mass payment script runs, and always try to do my withdraws close to its run.

It a CYA kind of range.

0 to 2 days is a CYA range. 0 to 5 is a CYA-in-case-the-office-is-threatened-by-wild-badgers-and-we-are-unable-to-verify-payments-for-an-extended-period range.

Totally believable in LL's case.
Or a we've-not-the-staff-to-cover-all-our-projects sort of CYA range.

$1 is certainly more reasonable than the $5 transfer fee, but why would it take up to 5 days?

Great news! Does this mean they are using "mass pay" now?

Grand news. How long did it take GOM to not do this ?

GOM varied, cause it was done manually with them. Usually 24 hours for most, but I'd say about 40-50% of my withdraws were all about 2-3 days.

I got good at knowing the timing, so with enough forethought, I could have a GOM withdrawal completed within two to four hours of requesting it. Ahh, those were the days.

The good old Devil We Knew. Now we're stuck with the Devil We Don't. At least the exchange rate is higher.

Because it's the holidays and thus we're likely to be a bit slower right now. We're also subjecting the process to greater scrutiny since it's a brand new system. It's very likely that we'll eventually lower the estimate and that we'll get to the point where *most* transactions are processed nearly instantly.

Cheers,
Lawrence
