DDF Cash & Their New "Invoice Us To Get Paid" Crap

[Greenguy]

I knew there was supposed to be a payment coming from DDF, so I verified this & emailed them. They replied back:

...Not sure if youve seen the last communications to affiliates in news and notifications, or received our last affiliate email, but we have had some changes concerning payouts this year. We now require an invoice from affiliates to be paid out. Looking at your account it seems your Paxum is setup already. You should receive an email on the next pay period....with a link where you can upload your invoice within ddfcash. Once approved, payment will be sent. Any questions let me know. Cheers!

So I search my email & found nothing in the spam, trash, or anywhere. So I log back in and this in the DDF Cash News section of their admin:

Compliance with current Accounting regulations
November 13th, 2015
Dear Affiliates,

Moving forward, we need to request invoices from all affiliates with the following information. This is to stay in accordance with current accounting regulations and is mandatory for all payouts beginning in January 2016. No Invoice necessary for the payout period of December.

Also please make sure that your information in DDF Cash is accurate, if so, we just need an email to webmaster@ddfcash.com confirming that it is accurate. If not, please update the items below, or send us an email and we will update it for you.

When you request a payment that is due to you. we will need a digital invoice with the following info. This will be temporary until we get the system automated.

You can find Free templates online for invoices...here is an example :

This is a short term solution, and soon we will get it automated. Thank you for your compliance and your patience. Any questions, please contact Paul at

Thank you!

WTF??? Am I the only one that couldn't find the email they say they sent out to my accounts? And since when do we have to invoice affiliate programs of any kind? (plus I have the feeling there's an option for them to do this automatically in their side of the NATS admin)

I'm also kinda because I was well above the min payout pay period ending December.

So, seeing as their pay period ended yesterday & it's 2:30 PM in the Netherlands, has anyone recv'd this email with the link to upload the invoice I created???

I heard about this back in November, total BS if you ask me. Invoice them? Really?

Sadly it is likely due to taxes and the corrupt governments we all deal with. When I was audited a few years ago they didn't allow a simple fucking payment I made to people via Paypal and ePassporte (listed as Contract Labor) without an invoice which was essentially all of it since it was 2007 and 2008 and you essentially agreed on a price for something and paid the person and they sent you your graphics or fixed your code or whatever it was you needed.

I read another tidbit about DDF recently that may or may not be part of what's going on here. It seems that DDF was quietly purchased by XVideos.

Still nothing from them. I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt (new system, Monday, etc) and email them tomorrow.

[Greenguy]

I'm emailing them....well, not me, but one of my many alter egos

A little birdie told me that, when you've hit your minimum payout amount & are due a payment you will see this banner when you log into their admin:

You then click on that and it will take you to where you can upload an invoice in PDF format.

The little birdie also told me this should go live tomorrow...

5 working days later & no reply to my emails & no banner in their admin. You'd think that just under 3 months would be enough time to get whatever-the-fuck this dumbass new system is in place......

Actually, in cases like this I consider 3 minutes too long! If a sponsor is going to make changes, I expect them to finish the backroom stuff, beta test it, and be ready to go live BEFORE they make the changes!

[Greenguy]

Still no word.....

[JustRobert]

You're not getting paid

[Greenguy]

Is anyone getting paid?? I just emailed them again....

[Greenguy]

Good News For Me: They paid me
Bad News For Everyone Else: They didn't update my admin to show I got paid, so it still shows as them owing me. This is bad for everyone else because that banner is still not showing up when I log in showing that I'm due a payment (which the admin thinks I am) so looks like no one else has gotten paid yet

[Ramster]

maybe they'll pay you again in a couple of weeks
