Payment pending

[Nazhahp]

Still seeing this notification in the dashboard of my Adsense account

Nov 21, 2018 Automatic payment pending:

I haven't received payment confirmation email in my Gmail account as well

Would that be a sign of account termination?

May be a sign of Thanksgiving week.

Why, what do you think you've done wrong?

AdSense payments for me, even after 15 years, varies by a few days ... start worrying in another 7 days!

[Nazhahp]

I haven't done anything wrong. everything has been well monitored. from the traffic source to site content. I have also been using adsense since Jun 2017. and this is the first they pen payment. hope they send it. Thank you!

[robzilla]

That's normal, it's always pending for a few days before the actual payment goes through.

Congratulations on your first payment!

still waiting!

Thank you!

I doubt you get wire transfer during this week.

Can't tell if there is a delay in payment this month, because I make so to be paid only once per quarter. Easier to get only one payment , and psychologically I prefer to get a bigger payment at once, than 3 smaller. (but I know it's pointless)

[engine]

I wouldn't be overly concerned as it happens.
Give it a week.

The payment e-mail always comes on the 21st, 22nd or 23rd, so I expect to receive it today. Money in the bank (MIB) on Monday.

Sometimes they send payment a little earlier around the holidays. Not for Thanksgiving, I guess.

Also don't freak for that, otherwise, with adsense / google (delayed/broken report, clawback, empty ads, arrow, not arrow, double click, rank shuffling, ...) , you'll die from a heart attack by the end of next year.

haha Lol you have just made my day.

I just don't want to close it for no reason!

Thank you Guys for your answers and psychological support!

Alas... I was too optimistic.

We are in the same boat - Adsense is the big wave, expect anything!

[freitasm]

Interesting. It's now the 26th (NZ time) and no email confirmation yet - usually the email comes around the 21st/22nd and credit immediately after (as in hours).

Somehow Google is taking a bit longer than usual this month.

Same here, Portugal, Nov. 25 - 10:50PM
Since 21 in report (...)Automatic payment pending:(...)

[JS_Harris]

Ditto - automatic payment pending since the 21st however no email was sent and something that has never happened in over a decade has happened, a second helping of "invalid traffic" during the following month.

Ending balance Oct 1-31 is "this amount" after invalid traffic was taken, so I'd expect to get paid "this amount" Nov 21st or so. This time however they moved "this amount" to starting balance as per usual and added a second round of invalid traffic to it and now show it pending for NEXT month(yes it's well over the minimum)... so unless something changes they are skipping an entire month's payment after taking the second round of oct 1-31 invalid on Nov 12th. Emails go unanswered.

If anything that second round of invalid deduction doesn't even belong in Nov, it's from traffic in September and belonged on the Oct report, not in the Nov report.

Same here, payment was not sent yet to bank account, it's still in adsense balance, the money were always sent on 21st, who knows maybe this delay its because of Thanksgiving Day?

[foreverlearning]

Payment has finally been credited a little while back. (India)

[Coldfaun]

For me it's worse.
It's saying payment issued on 21 November and paid on 22 November, even though I never received any money, I didn't go to the bank to get them.
I have no bank account, I just get them trough Western Union.
Anyone else?

[andreiut]

Coldfaun, that means that they paid you so you must go to the bank with the MTCN code they gave you :)

[Coldfaun]

andreiut, then I got confused.
Usually at status "paid" it means that I already got the money trough Western union.
It didn't had "paid" until I got the money. It would say just "payment issued".

[freemason]

Here in Nigeria, very few bloggers got payments on the 21st, while majority of us are still waiting.... Today is the last day for payments to be sent out, Is there any thing that can be done to hasten it?

[robzilla]

Is there any thing that can be done to hasten it?

Nope.

Officially, payment will be issued "between the 21st and the 26th of the month" [support.google.com]. So... they have a few hours left ;-)

I emailed Adsense support this morning and here's the official word:

"Hi Scott,



Thanks for reaching out, my name is Daniel.



We have noticed a delay in the November payments and are working hard to send your payment as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience while we work on resolving this issue, and know that I will pass you any new information I get immediately. I know that a payments delay can be incredibly stressful, so we will be working tirelessly to fix this as soon as possible.



Sincerely,

Daniel"

[MayankParmar]

Hmm.. so there is a technical glitch :/

[WhoKnows111]

No official announcement, still

Technical issues happen, sure. But how difficult is it to send payments? For one of the largest company in the World with brain power that's hard to match.

Interesting that the issue is only outside of US. While the US has one of the most archaic bank systems.

[Kayrahan]

My pay is still a big draw

[MayankParmar]

It's official [support.google.com...]

[Nazhahp]

It's official [support.google.com...]

They just said they are working on it. they haven't mentioned when payment will be sent.

maybe they will issue it to next month, who knows!
