    Oh great, thanks guys. Just noticed one of the ones I'm gonna do is a buy in store and refund one, how do they work? Do you refund there and then in the same store? Can you take it to another store the next day?
    No you have to take it back to the same store on the same day, an hour later, but within 11-3 time period. And sometimes there is a further order / enquiry to make after you return the item. Not so keen on these ones personally but the fee is quite good at least. Only really worth doing if you have other shops in the same area to fill in the time.

    Oh well, I've got one of them now. Don't knock it till you've tried it and all that... Thanks for the two hasty replies! :D

    They will pay out automatically as long as your bank details are on their system. Make sure you provide the IBAN as well.

    They pay automatically but in saying that my first payment didn't go through so I had to phone. However, I think they process their payments around the 20th of the month for work carried out the previous month.
  • Yeah, BARE take ages to actually pay - most annoying

    Liked your post on the Alerts Thread! Took me a couple of seconds to work out what it meant, but very good! I liked it!

    Has anyone done a mobile phone shop for ESA – loads of them now on there? What’s put me off booking is the 63 questions required for these assignments as I do not know what sort of questions!!

    Has anyone else been sent an email from GFK about shadowing a car repair person? Not sure it is worth the fee, but wavering. Think it might be rather cold and dull hanging round a car park all day.
