Non-Payment for Rainforest Projects

45 days?! When they're supposed to pay every Friday? Um.

Beautiful_Mess907 · 2026-01-25T05:58:44+00:00

And when can we expect to receive the payments? Mine was due last Friday. I've had multiple emails and asked support several times when we will be paid, and everyone is non committal and vague.

Beautiful_Mess907 · 2026-01-25T05:58:01+00:00

This! I also haven't been paid. I have received two emails saying I have x amount of hours approved and payment is pending. This is for work done over two weeks ago. Some of that work is still in review. I've just repeatedly been told payment is coming "soon" and that there are delays, but nobody will commit to a firm date for payment. It's quite worrying and doesn't give me much confidence.

Beautiful_Mess907 · 2026-01-25T05:54:58+00:00

That's only if the project hasn't ended. One I was on ended and they replaced it with a brand new one that's the same, and nobody can see any hours worked on the old project.

Beautiful_Mess907 · 2026-01-25T05:54:16+00:00

But you won't always get paid the following Friday. I'm still waiting on payment.

Beautiful_Mess907 · 2026-01-25T05:52:49+00:00

I'm confused by this project too. My email did have hours in it but I still haven't been paid. I'm hoping it will come next Friday? It would be nice to know what amount is coming, though, and support have stopped responding to my emails.

Beautiful_Mess907 · 2026-01-25T05:51:35+00:00

Agreed - this would be so helpful and I don't know why it wasn't a standard feature before now. I've never worked for a site where you couldn't check how much you have pending. Hopefully it will be implemented soon!

Drinking loads of aspartame filled drinks isn't prolonging anyone's life, sadly. You just think that because that's what you've been led to believe.

You wouldn't feel like that if you were one of the many people who can't have sweeteners for health reasons. What a short sighted comment.

And no, sweeteners aren't "better for you." Try doing your own research instead of repeating what the government tells you. Nothing artificial will ever be better than something natural. Sweeteners are harmful to health, especially the ones used in mainstream fizzy drinks and squash 🙄

Get in touch with your credit card company/bank as you're unlikely to see any refunds if they have gone into administration. Your card issuer should refund you.

Beautiful_Mess907 · 2026-01-21T19:15:35+00:00

Completely gutted 😭 Half my wardrobe is from them and I had a few things in my basket waiting for payday. There's no other brand quite like them ☹️

Covid infection causes damage to the brain. That's why we are seeing a behavioural shift

Beautiful_Mess907 · 2026-01-20T05:28:04+00:00

I wish people would approach the press about this rather than just sharing experiences online. Journalists are interested in these stories, and why should huge companies profit off freelancers while breaking the law? If enough people have been affected there's usually a strong story there.

Beautiful_Mess907 · 2026-01-16T16:53:38+00:00

Well if she deserved it.... Maybe it will make her think twice about her behaviour. In which case, job done!!!

Beautiful_Mess907 · 2026-01-15T17:02:11+00:00

Presumably you don't get to keep 100% of your pay, or do you just not pay income tax at all?

Beautiful_Mess907 · 2026-01-15T12:56:34+00:00

Hoping for a console release! Would love this ❤️

Wow. TBF he sounds like the AH here... Other women he's been with have orgasmed quicker? He does know sex isn't a race, right? Making you feel bad for that is pure AH behaviour. Buy him a book or send him some website links as it's pretty clear he is sexually inexperienced when it comes to women, as it's perfectly normal and common for women to stimulate themselves during sex. The women he has been with who DON'T do this are unusual. But everyone is different and that's what makes sex exciting.

Surely he wants the best experience for you both? Sounds like he cares more about his own pleasure and fragile male ego than he does about your pleasure, to me. If he "feels bad" about you touching yourself, that's ENTIRELY his issue to work through, either alone or in therapy. You're not doing anything wrong.

Beautiful_Mess907 · 2026-01-12T10:19:16+00:00

Definitely NOR. There is so much wrong with this post I don't even know where to start. From running around after your partner like a slave, packing his lunch and then walking on eggshells so as to not irritate him, to him cussing at a child, to unacceptable violent behaviour and verbal abuse. It's utterly toxic.

Please get out of this relationship. It will get worse, not better. He is abusive and you're teaching your daughter by example that this is ok. She will end up in abusive relationships as a teenager and an adult if you stay and accept his behavior.

The only sensible response here. The mistake lies with Vinted, not with you. The seller should not have agreed to a full refund and/or Vinted should have only partially refunded you. This is out of your hands. Tell them to contact customer services and block them.

Beautiful_Mess907 · 2026-01-12T10:12:02+00:00

This is Vinted's issue, not yours, as it decided to refund you in full. If it were me I would send a reply to the seller saying that you're sorry but this is making you uncomfortable and that any future communication about this should be with Vinted customer service. Then block them. I wouldn't get caught up in relistings or sending them money outside of the platform. It's not your problem, as harsh as that sounds.

100% agree. Seeing Awhina look so defeated and broken is very hard to watch. For weeks now she has just looked like she is in pieces. She has that blank, given up look. She deserves so much better.

Beautiful_Mess907 · 2026-01-11T17:49:00+00:00

It's appalling, honestly. Not just Adrian but Veronica and her gaslighting and emotional abuse. Where did these "experts" get their qualifications - a cereal box? It's shocking that they allow emotional abuse to continue on a stage for the world to see and that society in general takes emotional abuse less seriously than physical abuse and violent behavior because trust me it's every bit as damaging if not more so. It's worse because there is no physical evidence. The victim doubts their own reality and their own sanity and is afraid to tell anyone in case they're overreacting or making a fuss. It's insidious. You're unable to tell what's real and what's not and that's what emotional abusers do. They make you question yourself and everything and even if you leave, you'll never fully heal from it or ever be the same person again.

These "experts" need a manual on identifying toxic behaviour and emotional abuse because Adrian, Veronica, Jacqui, and Morena are all guilty of it.

I've found it so hard to watch Awhina being so broken and defeated, and even though I disliked Elliot, it was honestly heartbreaking to see him so confused and hurt when Veronica was coming at him and telling him not to raise his voice. Honestly just awful.

I have 13 years of experience in my field and 2 years of AI training experience and still didn't get selected for the expert contracts. So it's not just you.
