Payment is done through PayPal. Therefore, a PayPal account is required. Make sure to read about PayPal charges on their site.
The customer transfers payment to LingoTip. The system does not allow the translator to begin working before the payment is made. This is to ensure that the translator will get paid.
Payments for work done in one month are made by the 20th day of the next month. So, for example, all work done in February 2009 will be paid by March 20th, 2009 into your PayPal account.
If there is a dispute regarding the translation, a LingoTip language coordinator will review the dispute. If the dispute is found to be justified, then the translator will not be paid.
In some instances, LingoTip charges a commission from the translator, which is 8% + 0.64 USD. Before you accept a translation job, the commission will be displayed next to the total price of the job.
