For Experts in Stage 4, 50% ($.50 per dollar, plus 75% of any bonus) of the amount allocated for that answer.

Once you have more than $20 of earned income (you can not place funds into your account to reach $20, it must be earned) in your account, just request payment via the link in your tools menu and we will transfer the money to you via PayPal on the first business day of the upcoming month.

All payments to Experts will be made in U.S. dollars.

8.  Temporary Hold On Accounts

We will continue to investigate the situation until we have adequate resolution, as determined by us, and which may require the involvement of certain third parties, including any applicable credit card company. We will make every commercially reasonable effort not to exceed sixty days hold on your account as we investigate.

In addition, we reserve the right to remove "earned" funds from your account to compensate for fraud, returns, disputed amounts, or any uncollected revenue.
