How to withdrawal and review my earnings?

To check your balance, login into the Seller section of your account and clicking on 'Revenues'.

When an order is placed, the funds are deposited into your account immediately. It is the 'processing stage'.

Once the order is processed, we release payment to you for that order subject to a clearing period of 3 days; your payment will

therefore appear as ‘clearing’. After the clearing period has passed, your earnings will show as ‘available’. You can then click the ‘Withdraw’ button to have your payment processed to your registered PayPal account or Payoneer account.

What happens if I deliver an order to late?

We encourage you to deliver ALWAYS on time, you can set the time you need to complete a job on the specific job page.

Delivering an order late may result in megapigs cancelling the

order and suspending your account. We're sure you'll want to avoid that, so if you think you might be late delivering an order, let the buyer know as soon as possible and keep them updated on your progress; it is then less likely that the buyer will raise a complaint with our Customer Support team.

Why was my service not approved?

All services listed on megapigs are moderated by a megapigs dedicated team. When you submit a new service it will be automatically approval by the system, however megapigs moderating team will manually revise your service to make sure it meets our standards. We apply a strict set of criteria in deciding whether to accept your service to the site. If your service fails to meet any one or more of our criteria, then you’ll receive an email from us setting out the possible reasons why your service was declined. You can then make any required changes and resubmit your service to us.

How can I create a custom order?

If you'd like to create a custom order for a buyer, there are 2 options

 

  1. Your buyer will then need to contact you via your inbox, so you can make a custom order . Once they have done that, you'll see in your inbox the option to 'Send custom order'. This allows you to describe the service you'll be providing, set a price and provide the buyer with a link to make payment for the order. A new order page will then be generated where you can liaise with the buyer in the usual way.
