sending files before you get paid

marieke · 06-12-2008, 01:33 PM

hi,Im new here! I read in a closed thread somewhere on this forum that you first hand over the files and then get your reward? Isn't it normally the other way around? ( i have a few bad experiences in this)

Anyway, my first impression of this site was that it looked very professional, so I signed up!
thanks for reading this,
cheers,
marieke

Hi marieke, and welcome to DC!

It is a bit different here. The Contest Holder has to deposit the full prize amount into our account before the contest is posted. DC holds the money in escrow until the contest is over.

Once the files have been sent, if the CH contacts us and tells us they are fine, we send the prize. If they don't contact us, at the end of one week we send the prize. The only time there is a hold up is if there is something wrong with the files.

Unlike other contest sites, the Contest holder does pay first.

Hope that helps!
