You put in your paypal addy after submitting the report IIRC. I had a similar problem and I could have sworn when accepting the last minute job over the phone they said they could pay by BACS/Cheque, but once the job was done I was told no-way....P/P only.

I've just accepted my first job for ISC, and notice in the assigment notes it says they will pay by paypal - the problem is I don't have a paypal account on the email address I have registered with them - I don't remember saying that I would accept paypal payments anyway...

Any suggestions, as I don't really want to open yet another paypal account...?

You can probably add that email to your current paypal account, I have a couple of addresses feeding in to one account and a second account on a third email.

I just tried to go on and check for you but the site is not letting me in at the moment, probably everybody from this site trying at the same time. As far as I remember though you need to give them your paypal address so it shouldn't need to be the same as the one they contact you with, have you checked your details page?

When you take other people with you on a GAP pizza job, do you all order and pay seperately? That's what my notes say to do, but it seems really weird! Am going in about 20 mins and a couple of girls from my office are joining me.

I *think* you only need to order and pay separately if the others are getting things that you have been told not to get (because it may affect timings). If you are getting things allowed on your brief, then I think it's ok... you can certainly spend more than the reimbursement amount but Gap won't pay any extra.

Not too sure about different meals because we usually buy a large pizza and all share.

Yep, I've checked the details page, and there's no mention of a paypal account on there!!!

I wish I could say but I have never been successful in finding any jobs on thier site, perhaps its due to my rural location but good luck and I'll be interested to see what others are saying in reply, well those who get some jobs off them anyway......

Signed up to every one of the companies recommended on first page of thread. Thanks to everyone for putting so much info together in one place. Just out of interest, how often do you all check the websites for new assignments?
