Hi Nicky

If you search for a product, it will show you a list of them, for instance if you put in DKNY it will list the different perfumes etc.

You can only review products that have the stars under them to show they can be reviewed, or if you hover over the pictures, if they says 'see details' you should be able to review it, but if it says visit store it is not a product to be reviewed.

Hope this makes sense and you can get reviewing, good luck

Thanks for that, it all made sense
The products I had tried to review just went straight to the shop so that's why I was confused. I'll go and search for everything I've already reviewed on Dooyoo to see if there's anything I can transfer across

I can't see anywhere on the site wether they have a minimum word count or anything, if anyone knows please let me know :O) xx

I found this in the FAQs on the uk.shopping review site:


Q. What are the requirements for submitting a review?

A review must be a minimum of 20 words and pass Shopping.com's automated language check. In order for your reviews to be published on the site, you must be a registered member and have confirmed your account. If you have not confirmed your account, your review will be saved as a draft until you confirm.

So it looks like as long as the review is over 20 words and it's written in decent Englsih then it's fine
Only 1 out of my 55 items reviewed on Dooyoo is also on that site but since the minimum word count is only 20 I'm going to write a few now, it won't take as long as the dooyoo ones!

Rufus, when I signed up it did that to me too, but I just kept at it and it ended up working!
Thanks for that nicky, well I think seen as they only have to be so short, I will set my self a mini challenge, get up to at least £25. I've already got £10 from the ones ive copied from dooyoo, so only another 15! Anyone want to join me?!

Hi guys, I too was having trouble registering with the shopping review site but came out of the site and then back in again and it worked for me. I'm with you hlcarroll and will try and get £25, 20 words seems like it could be pretty quick. Come on, we can do it!

Does anyone know anything about Harris Interactive? Apparently it's another survey site that pays out in amazon vouchers, have had a couple of invites through in my email but not sure if it's trustworthy.

Just got another redeem from bingoport, having lots of luck on there lately which is nice!

Have just done 5 reviews on shopping UK, so getting there, but can't find where to put in details of how they will pay me. Anyone know anything about payout?

hlcarroll

Elyphant they pay out through paypal, think it has to be same email that you signed up with but not certain, and you might be able to change your email address?
Harris Interactive, I was with them, but gave up on it, its so hard to tell how much you are getting, and I did like 10x 30 min surveys then checked and I still needed twice as many points for a £5 voucher so just didn't seem worth it to me at all! I always judge survey sites by wether I would do normal work for that amount of money, and work it out so that I get no less than £1 for every 15 mins, otherwise it seems abit tedious! I mean, I get so many surveys from ciao offering me 10p for a 40 minute survey, do I look daft? LOL xx

They pay through Paypal. If the email you registered with isn't the same as your Paypal email address I think you can change it on your profile page on the uk.shopping site.

I've written 12 reviews and had the 5 I did this morning accepted already even though it says it could take 2 days. I'm running out of things to review though as most items I look at I don't seem to be able to review. What have you all been reviewing?
I reviewed the Wii console and Wii fit plus, a couple of baby toys and baby shoes, BabyBjorn carrier and a couple of other things I've forgotten.

hlcarroll

nicky, how do you know if they have been accepted? They have deleted alot of mine, all the ones from dooyoo so I guess thats why, but I will push on anyway, I need all the money I can get at the moment!! xx

When you are logged in, click on 'my shopping' in the top right corner. That takes you to your profile page. Then if you scroll down you can see the reviews you have written. Under the review title it might say in red 'pending approval'. That means it's waiting for them to accept it. If the review is there but doesn't say 'pending approval' then I think it's been accepted.

Some of my reviews disappeared before they were accepted. I wasn't sure why so I just re-submitted them (identical review, didn't change anything) and they've been accepted now! I think it's just a glitch on the website. I read in the FAQs that the reviews go through a spell check and that's it really, so I don't think they'd refuse them if they've previously been on Dooyoo. Also, I remember reading in the FAQs that it's fine for the reviews to be uploaded elsewhere as long as it's your own review.

I would try to submit the same reviews again, perhaps run them through a spell checker in case there was a wrong spelling that confused their programme thingy.

I've done 15 reviews now so £15 hopefully earnt for a few hours typing

Thank you hun, I'm going to put them back on then, worth a try!! xx
