Ask HN: Skimlinks owe us $6k affiliate revenue and hasn't wire a cent in 2 years
Background: Run a social network. Been using skimlinks for outgoing links as another source of revenue
My bad: Should have noticed monthly payment stopped since 2018. A code refactor brought the issue to surface.
Their bad: We sent multiple support emails over the last three months. Even private messaged their CEO and official account on Twitter. CEO didn't respond. Official twitter gave us their standard response - "we are looking into it".
I am running out of options here. Should I file a small court claim? 6k is the ballpark amount shown on their own dashboard for payment history and affiliate cut. To their credit they did not delete those data. So the account keeps accruing revenue with no avenue to withdraw.
- Dolores12 6y agoLet them know what you gonna do and stick to the plan.
- andrefuchs 6y agoI would take screenshots and backup everything as proof. Give them an ultimatum and contact a lawyer if they don't act.
- puppymaster 6y agoalready did. even forwarded them along in support emails/tweets. Thanks!
- cpach 6y ago”Should I file a small court claim?” I guess that’s your best bet...? AFAIK it’s not worth suing somebody for this kind of amount.
- codeddesign 6y agoSmall claims court - sure it is. Depending on your state lawyers may not be allowed. Which I would argue that in small claims truth would be much easier to obtain without lawyers on either side.
