When did the issue occur?

If the answer is no, please contact the researcher using our messaging system and allow them a week to respond before contacting us.

There's no need to let us know if you're waiting for a payment to be returned from your PayPal account to your Prolific account. We'll return this proactively in 30-35 days. This covers payments that went to the wrong PayPal address, haven't turned up or have the status 'returned', 'reversed', or 'cancelled'. You can read more here: https://participant-help.prolific.co/hc/en-gb/articles/360021984693-I-cashed-out-but-haven-t-received-my-money. Please only send us a message if it has been OVER 35 days and your payment hasn't arrived

If you're querying a missing bonus payment, we unfortunately cannot look into this further for you at this time. Please contact the researcher directly to resolve this.

We need a screenshot of your conversation with the researcher before we can look into your query. Alternatively, we will need a screenshot of your outbound message to the researcher from the Archive of your messages. If you haven't contacted the researcher, please contact them using our messaging system (https://app.prolific.co/messages/inbox) and allow them 7 days to respond before messaging us.

If you are expecting a payment from a submission and haven't received this, or have partially received this, please let us know the missing amount. Please enter '0' otherwise.
