I've had a payment from BARE today, my first payment from them, but I've noticed it's about 18% down on what I was expecting.

I'm taking it this is due to the fact that they pay in Euros so, clearly, you lose out when it's converted to GBP?

Yes you do - I had my first payment from them a couple of months back, and I had a credit-advice letter from the bank to explain to me that it had been converted, and what the rate had been

I've just noticed that it's actually about 18% down

Oh well, at least I'll know in future.

I'm having one hell of a time with GfK tests that you need to complete before you can do the jobs! I'm starting to think that they don't actually want me to do the jobs and I have never managed to pass one yet at first attempt! is it just me or does anyone else struggle?

I nearly always struggle with their tests. I completed one the other day and the answer was not even in the brief :mad:

I may adopt skivenov's approach

I wasn't aware that the fee quoted on BARE is in Euros. Consequently, what I got paid, was 18% less than what I expected.
