Is there a way of knowing if my W-8 BEN form has been accepted?

I submitted it in June 30th and received an automatic response. Now I would like to know if I'm going to get my first payment this month. As far I can tell, my payment details page looks the same as it did before I sent the form. Would they let me know if I needed to revise and resubmit it?

Do you have the text 'Thank you for submitting your form'? under the Tax Information heading and have you entered your paypal address?

They would let you know if you W8BEN had been rejected and to resubmit with the adjustments needed.

Have you reached the threshold for payment for your country of residence? EG it's £30 for UK.

If so and you've not had a payment initiated for this month, https://www.zazzle.com/my/earnings/payments I would send an email to zazzle-w8@zazzle.com to enquire the status of your form.

I know it takes a while to process the forms, but it seems to be taking a while for you.

Good luck!

Thank you for your comment! I have entered my Paypal address and reached the payment limit some time ago, so everything else seems to be in order, but I don't have the text 'Thank you for submitting your form'? anywhere on the page. I'm going to send an email to the address you gave.

Great! Also make sure you have your payment preferences toggled to normal and set the primary currency to yours

Oh, I didn't realize I might have to change the currency. It's in dollars now, and that's OK with me, because I can receive dollars on my PayPal account. Do you think I should try to change it to euros just because I live in euro zone?

Not sure on that. I've always had GBP picked because I'm in UK

Thanks anyway, I'll ask about that too.

Hello... What is your current payment status. How long did you wait for W8-BEN for to be accepted.

Have got reply from Zazzle team?

I'm in the UK and paid in dollars. That shouldn't impact your payment.
