I followed the info there, and it didn't work!
Keep meaning to phone them, but only ever seem to think about it at this sort of time of day!!

I had a similar impression that the advice on how to add clients didn’t work in my case. However after 48 hours I logged in again and it turned out that all the clients had been added.

Best to check. My ESA paperwork didn't say anything about going on your own, so I phoned to check and was (very rudely actually) told that you have to go on your own, just like a 'normal' job)!

Yesterday I got an email from one of the MS companies to carry a few bank jobs, even though I'm new to them and have not enough points.. I double checked, but the assignment notes didn't state, if I can bring along my 3 years old son with me ... My first thought was ,it should not be a problem, if he will go with me, but I've decided to email my query to person, who asked me to conduct this tasks at the first place and just got an answer saying there is no way to take my son with me and if I did, I would end up with no payment..

I think that the general rule of thumb is that if you are allowed, it will specifically say so, and if it doesn't say either way then it's probably best to assume you can't - or to check to be sure!

I have just noticed I think I have missed my TNS Quick supermarket job for today, as when I applied I looked at the time of 9am - 12pm, and thought oh good, I can do it whenever during the day, so accepted it thinking I would be just around the corner from it at about 6pm later anyway. But having just had a look again, and thought about it a bit more, I'm sure 12pm is midday. Whoops.

It would make a lot of sense if TNS stuck to using the 24 hour clock on their 'fast' jobs - like they do on the normal supermarkets. Personally I always state 12 noon or 12 midnight if I'm giving times so there is no room for error.

It should have struck me as odd when I first looked, as the store is only open until 11:30pm. But I could see jobs rapidly disappearing from my area at the time I was applying, so there must have been someone else nabbing them at the same time, so I was probably being a bit hasty!:o:o

Morning.

Has anyone had a paypal fee taken off their money paid by Amber? GGGGGGRRRRRR

I have never had a fee taken off by other MS companies when they pay through paypal.

tas123 - you need to talk to Amber as Paypal made a mistake. Amber refunded the Paypal fee within a few days.

HTH,

If I were to undercut that, and try to charge you £24 to direct you to the first and second post of this thread, would you pay me?!?

No, thought not
