    Just heard that the October Jewellery visits will be paid at the end of DECEMBER. I have emailed and asked for definite clarification. If it is true then that is awful.

    Anyone seen the fee on the Craftshop alert? I nearly fell off my chair, its a new low even for them
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    I know I've seen it discussed before, but not paid all that much attention as had never seen any local ones on the jobs board before (and yes I've searched, allbeit quickly :o this thread and the previous for the discussion), but the jewellery stand 'assessments' on React, how long can I expect these to take? Not much money, but I'm thinking if they are quick there's a few I can do together when I've got to go into town anyway, so might be worthwhile?!?

    I normally take about 10 minutes per shop, and you can get 4 done (if they are close together) in just less than an hour. Reports don't take long either. Bear in mind, they tend to allocate them in batches, so if you see 4 in town, apply for all 4. First time I did them, the brief scared me a bit, but they are very easy to do. Good luck.
  • I am pretty sure its aba-I trying to shift the last bits of everything shop. I laughed at them just before I said no

    There was 4 in my town, so I've applied for them all. Will wait and see, might as well do them once, then at least I know for next time how worthwhile I consider them! They are all dead close together, well 3 of them are, literally within a 10 second walk of each other in the shopping centre as 2 of them are next door to each other, and the third is in the shop opposite :D
    The fourth is in a retail park 5 mins from my house so all is good!

    Oh, and if the brief is scary, expect a message with a plea for help!! :D

  • I only did a telephone call with Bare and the jewellery visits but it was waaaay back in October. It might be small but I want it - if only to neaten up my spreadsheet! This is the disadvantage of doing massive reimbursement ones... I've always shied away from them for this reason, can't afford the dolla

    Is it just me or is anyone else not seeing any of these visits that are being alerted on RE? I can't see jack and I have not seen anything for a good few days now. Hmmm. Have I been blocked or what? Could really do with some fillers as have a few days off!
