The bare payment has appeared in my account but I have not been paid the amount that is showing as paid from bare. I would suggest that anyone else that is waiting on payments from them to check when they hit your account. :mad:

Depends on who you bank with but some banks charge a £25 fee for transferring the money from Euros to Pounds. Your bank may have deducted this fee. And don't forget, Bare fees are shown in Euros so they need to be converted. You end up with a bit less.

The bare payment has appeared in my bank account but it for nowhere near what I was expecting. Are HSBC one of the companies that charge to convert from Euros to Sterling?

Thanks

No they don't. I bank with them and they don't charge. Sorry, answered your most recent post - did not see this post before responding.

Nothing in my area, but I do see some in Scotland, Perth. If you can see some there then you probably aren't sacked.

I occassionally get worried when there are alerts and I can't see any, I tend to hunt for them then.

I can see them in Perth. Not sacked just nowhere near me. Good idea was that, thanks

Has anyone else received an email from GfK telling them that there was an error in posting the phone calls for July last week and that they would all be removed from your scheduled visits page (if you accepted any) and that they would come back on the job board on another specific date?

Only half of mine were taken off. I've still got a few on there. I wonder if they're okay to do?!

Well, knew it was only a matter of time but got it officially confirmed today that I can no longer shop the stamp jobs. No explanation. Never missed an assignment, always submit on time but the last one was not as glowing as it could have been. That's me and Gyp parting ways as I'm also not allowed to do the burgers. :mad:

I know there's been a lot on here the last couple of days about Gyp (and RE), but I wouldn't work for Gyp out of principle now. They make people feel terrible when they sack them for no reason. Nobody likes getting the sack from anywhere, particularly when you don't even get told why! And while I agree that there are some bad assignments (and people) at RE, they're not all bad and at the end of the day it is self selection and I know I certainly pick and choose my jobs with them as some are awful.

Are these the Gap jobs where you make an enquiry re D??? and make a purchase. Are they quick and easy as they don't seem to pay much, and does everyone buy stamps?
