I would not bother joining at present - they do not seem to be paying out, thus no point.

I'm still waiting on 2 x £3 Paypal payments of 15 days and 11 days.

I'm still waiting for a payment requested 10 working days ago. There been 2 weekends in that time, so it makes it 14 days.

If it was me, I'd rather just cancel a Paypal payout and request Amazon vouchers instead and use them for Christmas presents or something. At least that way you know you'd get your payout right away.

I don't buy from amazon, so if I did that I would have to search amazon for something to buy just for the sake of using up a voucher.

If I hold out for a paypal payment, it might take longer to arrive, but when it does I can spend it on anything I like.

No idea why Paypal payout are taking so long when Amazon vouchers are being sent within seconds of being requested - that's really odd. Can you cancel a payout when already requested? If it was me, I'd rather just cancel a Paypal payout and request Amazon vouchers instead and use them for Christmas presents or something. At least that way you know you'd get your payout right away.

That's why I suggested it as an idea if you were able to buy something you might need from Amazon.

Sorry but you've lost me. I've quoted your original post, and my reply above. Can you point out where you suggest "it as an idea if you were able to buy something you might need from Amazon"?

Ok fine, you personally don't buy from Amazon, but my first post wasn't addressed to you personally, it was just a general post aimed at everyone who might be having trouble with Paypal at the moment. All I meant was, if it was me, even though Paypal is useful, I'd try to get Amazon vouchers for something like Christmas presents - just a suggestion as a lot of people would know someone they could buy something for off Amazon due to the wide choice on there, or even give the actual codes as presents. If people always choose the Paypal option they might not have even thought of choosing Amazon vouchers instead. I obviously just didn't word my second post very well. Obviously Paypal is better because you can spend it on whatever you like but in this instance if their Paypal payouts are playing up it would make more sense to use a different payout method where possible. That's all.

I wouldn't say that Amazon payments are quicker.. I requested payment 8 days ago and haven't heard a thing since..

Strange, I sent an email asking when my payment, requested on 27 Nov, would be paid at 3pm today.

At 4pm the payment arrived.

I emailed them and got the email about 45 mins later!

My paypal payment finally arrived, 14 days after requesting. Better late than never I suppose:)

I'm pleased (and very relieved) to report that both of my Paypal payments have come through (16 days and 12 days). managed to get in touch with them by phone and had a pleasant chat.

So far this merger is proving to be to the advantage of the customers (us that is) which is certainly a surprise - but very welcome.

Apparently due to the recent merger with Lightspeed they have enough members and are not recruiting for the time being.
