Paid then disappeared
Hi everyone. Does anyone know what the regulations are about when someone pays me and then disappears? I have a customer with an outstanding balance that they were entitled to have back, but I haven’t been able to get hold of them for over a year. I tried contacting them several times in the first couple of months with no…
Paypal scam??
Sorry in advance if this is the wrong place to post this. I've been clearing out my garage & selling stuff on Gumtree. I've had a few messages wanting to pick things up & asking for my PayPal details & that they'll pay me through that. Is there any sort of scam that people are doing by asking this, as I find it strange…
Is it worth keeping unusual 50p and £2 coins?
We've been saving unusual 50p and £2 coins over the years. We have a handful and I've just had a bimble around the internet to look at their worth. Unsurprisingly most of them are only worth face value or a smidge above this. Is it worth hanging on to them to see if they ever increase in value? I'm torn between just…
Is the ONS Covid test survey legitimate?

20cogs
I've just come across this site. It seems you have to complete all 20 sign ups and then they will pay you out. Is it worth doing? What if you do 19 of them and find that you already have an account with the 20th one so you can't get paid out? I get the feeling that quite a lot could go wrong with this.
Selling from home
Hope Ive got the right part of the forum but can anyone provide me with any links to what limits there are from selling from home before you have to start declaring it for tax. hubby has been selling a large collection of stuff through eBay over the last year and at this time of year he usually sells plants and stuff from…

M3 Global Research
Has anyone had any experience of M3 Global Research? They appear to conduct medical surveys. I have an online focus group with them this week. They will pay me £125. (I hope) for taking part. Just wondering if anyone has any feedback about this comp[any. Thanks in anticipation

Distributing business cards for computer repairs start up
I had some cards made, and dropped about 80 in a local road's letterboxes. No responses so far, but then computer repairs aren't as in demand as plumbers etc. Any tips on an alternative way to distribute them? Bit wary of leaving them under car wipers
Micro 'livestock' , homestead , garden type things you can farm and sell?
I used to work with this chap. He was a bit rough but I enjoyed our conversations and his mindset in this regard. He did the allotment gig and kept birds: pigeons, birds of prey. He used to tell me random out of the box thinking stuff like he'd collected aquatic snails, farmed them in a tank and sold them in the past, and…

Totally passive way of earning some money on a PC?
Apart from autosurfers, such as ebesucher, which is really rubbish as it takes months just to get a few pennies, are there any totally passive sites and/or applications that work on the PC (not Android or Iphone)? I have an old PC sitting idle and I pay no electrics or Internet, and I need a way to monetise it totally…

Jumpers are for life, not just for Christmas, but most of us only wear our most garish festive get-up for one or two days a year, then feel pressure to buy a new one the following year. That's neither MoneySaving nor good for the planet, so what can we do about it? I have a few ideas...
