I received my first check from half.com slightly before December 15. According to their FAQ, if a seller sells more than $50 in a two week period, they will also receive a check at the end of the month. I have over $100 coming for 12/1-12/15. However, here it is January 3 and no payment yet. Is it the holidays? Is it half.com not sending me the money for some reason? If you are due money, have you received it?
I would write to half.com to ask this question -- that's the logical thing to do. However, every time I write to half.com I get a canned response, so asking about my specific situation will be useless.

You will get your payment in TWO WEEKS. Half.com payment procedure is a bit complicated, but they always pay on time. The check from 1/2 is always sent approx 2 weeks after the 15th or the 1st (depending on you sales amount) If you have less than $50.00 in the first half of the month, you don't get paid until the end of the month (which is actually sent 2 weeks later) If you have more than $50.00 in the first half of the month, you get paid on the 15th (and the check is sent 2 weeks later)
Half.com is very good about payment, the checks show up like clockwork, but you have to read between the lines (or have experience to realize the payment schedule)
With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if the check is a couple of days late during this time of year. The holiday mail is messed up, and with all the poor weather around the country, delays are not unusual. Half.com has been very, very dependable, I wouldn't worry.

I'm owed a check, but haven't received it yet. I am assuming they mailed it 1/2 due to the holiday, so I'll get it by Friday.
Unfortunately, I made only about $30 the second half of December, so it will be a month before my next check!

Half.com has been very consistant with making payments, give or take a day or two. Their customer service, on the other hand, is a joke! Just cross your fingers and hope that you have no issues to discuss with their staff. If you are lucky enough to even get a response at all, it's probably not going to answer your questions, or help you in any way. That's precisely why i stopped selling at Half.com

Mail lady just came and brought with her my half.com check for the period 12/1-12/15. It was postmarked 12/30/00 and was sent from Antioch, TN. (I live in CA.)
The latest I've received my checks from half was 4 days after the date of the check.
