If something has moved to payments pending, does that mean it's passed proof reading? And I'll defo get paid?

And I'm actually going to say something in defense of BARE. They are probably the people I've done the most work for, and the only delayed payment I've had was the test centre.

If it's sitting in 'payments pending' then it means that the proof readers still have to work their magic on it. So you might get it back. Happiness only comes when it moves out of there and into the 'Due' section with a date

You need to go and fill in your extended profile with your payment details.

Turns out I already had filled in my extended profile when I first registered with them in Jan 2009. No wonder I don't remember doing it as I only did my first job for them 2 weeks ago.

Has anyone seen the details of payment options on Helion's login page? I really don't know which to go for...BACS is not an option for me in this case, so it's either Paypal or MoneyBookers (I have accounts at both).

I received my first (and only, to date) payment from them via Paypal but was charged (Max did offer to look into why, but as it wasn't a great deal of money I declined his offer).

However, as things are going to be picking up with Helion, I'm keen to figure out whether Moneybookers will incur fees, and indeed whether other Helion shoppers that have been paid by Paypal incurred fees?

On a separate note, I had to take a pic of another store today and it was completely glass fronted, brightly lit, with several desks facing the front door - that was a tricky one!

I did one like that. It was a chemist and the counter was next to the window. When I uploaded the picture, I noticed the lady who served me was looking out at me with a very shocked expression on her face :rotfl:

Why is this the case?!?

I've noticed PayPal randomly charging at times when I've received money from selling on Ebay, but there doesn't seem to be rhyme nor reason as to when this occurs or why.

Hi
Quick question - do RA pay by cheque or BACS? On the first part of this thread it states they pay by cheque, but I'm sure I gave them my bank details a while ago. Have done just one job ages ago, but have not had any payment as yet.
Thanks

Upload any picture and explain why if necessary.

See if they notice :cool:

Thanks Blindman.

I did 4 mystery shops today - I think that is my limit. I feel shattered from the running around and reports. Still have 1 and a half to go.

I hate it when you get to the end of an RE report and it asks you talk about your experience in detail from start to finish when I've been doing just that in the earlier parts of the report.

It looks like RE have passed my report today(Monday) as im now on active and also the payment has moved from payments pending but i can not see any jobs that i can go for so how long will it take for jobs to come up again?

I have a wide area that i can get too(50 Miles) of my home and a few other towns so i would have though there would be some.

Could not belive they didnt get me to do report again so am very happy about that after hearing all the tails about them.

lol. At one point, a customer stared straight at me, I hope he didn't mention it to the consultant!

When I rang them a week or two back, I'm sure they said via BACS and to ensure you have entered your bank details on the site.
