No Jammy not been paid from them before its a new promo, only joined them as they were on topcashback and got 50p for joining, they sent me an email just before xmas saying about the promo so thought i would give it ago.......i hope they do pay now you got me worried lol

I have worked for Wozzon for a while now and can give you some feedback on what you have left so far. (That is assuming you are the reviewer I think you are)

You reviews need to be checked for spelling. Many of them contained spelling mistakes and grammatical mistakes. You wont be paid out for these.
Reading through your reviews also gives me the impression that you havent personally been to the places or experienced the event. It does seem quite 'copied'...they dont reflect your experience of the place....they describe what the place is. This information is available on the websites already, what they need is personal reviews.

I would not like to think that you have spent many hours typing out these reviews only to not be paid however they are quite tight on the standard.

Hope that helps a bit and good luck with them.

Thanks for the feedback, didn't realise they wanted my experieance in that sense, thought they wanted to know more about the place. As for spelling well i've never been very good, so will double check from now on. Thanks for the tips hunxx

Sarah - the firefox browser has a spell checker in it I'm so lazy/bad at spelling it's brilliant for me! Hope they pay you out, they should be 100% clear on what they want before people start reviewing in my opinion

I like the mini challenge jammy - I pledge allegiance to the jamster that I will list five things by the weekend towards my 50pound by 31st Jan target.

Starting to build money back up on survey sites now...also have tesco vouchers, sainsburys vouchers, boots points and just been paid 90pounds from topcashback into paypal so am using it to buy birthday pressies for people on ebay therefore I am being very money neutral.

On the hunt for car insurance so will see who's giving out lovely vouchers there.

Have made a list of all birthdays and christmases that I buy for in the back of my diary, have already gone through this years pressies to recycle stuff and am waiting for the boots 75% sale.

Hahaha, I too pledge allegiance to the Jamster! This month I'm going for the dooyoo challenge but I would also like to make a few extra pounds on Ebay, so I promise to list 5 things today.
The extra Ebay money won't be going towards Christmas though but it will be for a special occassion - Valentine's Day. My husband has seen a band t-shirt he really wants on Ebay. Luckily it's in a shop and they have a lot so I don't have to worry too much about them running out. I have a bit of money in my Paypal account from previous sales, but I need a bit more. I'd love his gift to be totally money neutral, it would be a good way to start

??? does anyone do that? is it a real company or a scam?

Hiya i do something similar to this with a company called tns. I think they maybe part of the same company. I've had over £150 of vouchers from them last year so well worth a try

scatty - meant to say apparently boots instore 75% sale is 13th january. 3 confirmed reports. I've not heard it personally though

theres another thread saying 70% off bhs today - i've just bought a few cheap bits for fathers day and birthdays

My first Ebay item has sold for £15 :j so after fees and postage it will probably be £11-£12 instead, but a good start for the challenge.

I have listed my other items that Jamtart challenged, one has had bids, and one being watched, but nothing on the other 2 so far, but they will run for the next 5-6 days yet, so still hope there.

Well done to everybody else who has made a start on the Ebay / Dooyoo challenge. :T

I've been seeing comments about it possibly starting on the 14th instead, but from memory didn't it start on a Wednesday last year? If so I'm guessing it'll be a Wednesday again this year.. In which case I think 13th is the most likely day

On a side note, has anyone tried to sell a buggy/travel system and other baby bits before (stroller... moses basket..) I guess this kind of hing isn't ideal for eBay as it'll have to be either local eBayers or the postage would cause a problem?

I wondered if the local supermarket ads boards were any good, or Loot? Or is there a better alternative for baby bits?

Thanks again xx
