Please describe the reason for submitting a Dispute, in detail.
I am submitting this dispute regarding an unpaid affiliate commission invoice with the vendor PlainProxies.

The vendor requested an invoice for my affiliate payout, which I initially provided on January 28, 2026. They then requested additional company details, which I added and resent on January 30, 2026. Since the corrected invoice was submitted, it has remained unpaid.

I followed up after submitting the corrected invoice and allowed several business days for processing. On February 4, 2026, the vendor confirmed that they were checking the matter internally. However, as of today, no payment has been received and no confirmed processing timeframe or ETA has been provided.

I have complied with all requests from the vendor and provided the required documentation. As the invoice has been complete for several business days without payment or confirmation, I am requesting moderator assistance to help resolve this unpaid invoice.

Please detail exactly how you have tried to resolve your issue before now.

Hello,

The invoice has already been paid. Likely it hasn't arrived yet due to the time it takes for an international bank transfer.

The invoice was issued on the 28th January, usually 14 days payment windows are the norm in business, I am not too sure why there is a dispute about this after just 7 days.

Best

Just on another note, we are suspecting this case to be affiliate fraud based on our internal findings, though we are giving the benefit of the doubt in this case.

Hello Friedrich,

Thank you for the response.

To clarify for the record:

1) As of now, I have not received any funds related to this invoice. If the payment has already been sent, could you please provide the transfer confirmation (date, reference/transaction ID, and sending bank) so it can be traced?

2) The invoice was finalized on January 30 after your team requested additional company details. No specific payment term (such as net-14) was communicated or agreed upon at that time.

3) The mention of suspected affiliate fraud is new to me. This concern was never raised prior to this dispute, and no details have been shared so far.

At this point, I’m simply requesting either payment confirmation details or clarification on what is currently preventing payment.

Thank you.

I assume you're going to present evidence of this?

Also, please respond to this:

There is no need to. As mentioned we are giving him the benefit of the doubt in this case, though we enforced our right to suspend further referrals.

The outstanding balance has been paid and should arrive within the coming days.

 

[SettingSun77]

Why mention it at all if you have no intention of presenting evidence? Also, you're comfortable suspending referrals without explaining why?

Answer this, please.

Answer this, please.

The transfer was initiated this morning. We are not too comfortable sharing further references or details here.

We are simply asking for a little bit of patience on @Yoann 's end.

Given there was no due date discussed we had assumed net-14 as standard.

We're not interested in what you're comfortable with. I asked a question and I'd expect the courtesy of a response.

Why accuse someone of fraud publicly only to then say "Well we're letting them off this time but suspending their future affiliate payouts"? If you think saying that is going to curry favour in this dispute then you're sorely mistaken.

1) As of now, I have not received any funds related to this invoice. If the payment has already been sent, could you please provide the transfer confirmation (date, reference/transaction ID, and sending bank) so it can be traced?

The third time I've asked you to respond to this. If you fail to do so in your next reply then I will find this dispute in favour of @Yoann.

 

[SettingSun77]

This dispute is paused while I look at documents sent via DM.

 

[SettingSun77]

This dispute will remain live while we await news from @Yoann about the arrival of the payment.

@FraftDev I'm still concerned about accusations you've made in this thread and your refusal to back them up in kind. You seriously need to take a long look at the way you address customers and your payment suspension policies. They are not good.

 

[Yoann]

Funds received. Thank you.
The dispute can be marked as resolved.
