The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

Just wondering if anyone is aware when the RE payments will hit our banks?:beer:

Can someone please tell me how I check that I am set up to receive payments from Bare via paypal and not through the bank? When I look on My Profile, there is a question that asks if I will accept paypal payments, and I've ticked yes. But I can't see anywhere to input my paypal address.

I managed to get two of each of the wine shops as there were two different chains being done.

There was a message on their website saying there was a problem with the payments and it'll be Monday

Guess what, so much for RE pay being delayed from Friday until today, there's now a note on the website to say "Your next payment date is 15/11/08" :eek: and that's for the full amount I'm owed. When I click on "payment" it just says "1/11/08 carried forward" Wow that's so helpful!!

Still not as bad as FF tho, who will shortly be winning the award for the slowest pay ever - almost 3 months. I think as someone else said on here, I'm not going to do any more jobs for them now until I'm paid. Beginning to wonder if it'll ever happen - maybe they've run into difficulties? Anyone else any the wiser?

Josie, thats what I was wondering, that they might be in trouble.

Just got this from their website:

"With industry growth of 2.3% in 2007, Retail Eyes has eclipsed the sector average and achieved growth of 48% in the last year in what is becoming an increasingly mature and competitive marketplace. Having already secured over £1 million of new business in the first quarter of 2008 alone and with a growth forecast of 40% over the next 12 months, Retail Eyes is predicting a top 20 placing in next year’s league table."

Hmmm.... well, growth thats too fast is one big reason for companies going bust in growth times, their cash flow can't handle it. I'm not sure about this.

Hi guys

This visit carry a spend of up to £10.00 (you can purchase what you like) and a very enhanced fee.

These are straightforward visits and just require you to make general observations on the stock level of general produce and also see how the staff deal with customers around closing time.

The report is in excel format and you will need to scan/photograph your receipt and send back to me in .JPG/JPEG format.

Please let me know if you can help out.

I've noticed a few people hinting about returning goods they don't want. Do you still get the reimbursement?
Only asking as I really didn't need the drugs I got from the pharmacy job and didn't realise you could take them back

If after making a purchase for an ms job, you feel you don't need the item then you can take it back. But, scan your original receipt before getting a refund and ask yourself if you could maybe get more for it if you flogged it on ebay?! Secondly, as far as I am aware you cannot get refunds for pharmaceutical drugs.

BTW - hiya everyone. I do pop on and nose now and again, but I am super duper busy. Hope you are all busy with the Christmas ms-ing!:D
