The 20 point task is one that I always do, it doesn't take long. Most of the other tasks are not worth doing as they take too long for only a few SBs. At least, IMHO
Yip thats what i am doing now too - did claim some of the paypal payouts originally - $5 then $10 but with chrimbo coming thought the vouchers would be good at the mo
its also better value for the sbs

I guess it's back to ebay for me!
I would contact them and say the fees are making it impossible for you to catch up on your account - say you are in financial difficulty (be prepared to explain) and ask if they could do anything to help you out of the situation - you may get some or all of your fees re-imbursed

Just £10 to add, this from a business reimbursement that i paid for months ago, still have another £38.00 to get and add, will update sig.
I joined swag bucks early this morning, wasnt too focused, managed 103 points and decided to try the tasks, so have 1 that i want to do, think its 20 points, will see how it goes.
What is everybody buying? and are you just getting to £5 then cashing out?
I cash out at every 849sbs for the Amazon GC £5. You can add that into your Amazon account then you have like 2years to use it, so just use them up whenever I order things. Now they do bulk groceries too I pretty much buy things there every couple weeks 1 thing or another! :T
Just cashed out my 5th GC in my first month at Swagbucks so can't complain at that! Also redeemed a £10 Amazon GC at Gifthulk :j Taken me about 2.5weeks to get there.
EASY 27 swagbucks for you guys. GO to special offers -> paymentwall -> sort by newest. Do the MEEZ signup offer with a disposable email address. took less than a minute and was credited instantly!0 -

I think I will cash in for an amazon voucher as I have 930 bucks.:j
Does anyone know how much cash you get if you take the $5 cashout.

Thanks for all the advice everyone!! I'm currently trying to push up my swagbucks amount.
Just a quick question - has anyone ever had any luck selling old paperback books? I have loads of them that I'm never going to read. Was hoping there would be a music magpie for books or something but all the ones I have tried don't want my books
On a plus point though I have 4 phones, a game and 90 CD's ready to be postted tomorrow - sold for over £100

Well good and bad news - sold my first item EVER on ebay!! :-)
However, it only sold for 99p (starting price) and the seller has paid this plus postage (so 2.19 total) but 27p has been deducted in fees - I thought it was only 10% of the selling price so thought they would only take 10p! Can anyone help me out? Not sure I want to sell much more if they are going to take a third!0 -

I use Greenmetropolis for selling my paperbacks, but sometimes I dont sell any for ages then other times get a couple of sales in one week.0
