Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

I had that this afternoon and completed it. I've done it for other platforms, and also my solicitors used a similar technology for verifying my ID when I was buying and selling a house recently.

I thought I had already done it for Prolific, which was my only concern, but that may have been something different.

Thank you that's reassuring. I was wondering if it was just me. I'll do it as I like doing the studies.

I wonder if there is a way of transferring from PayPal to say Wise or Revolut for a better exchange rate?

I've tried via Wise, as I have an account with them, it looked liked it would do it, as they have a US address, but then PayPal block the transfer at the end. Also tried it with linking my Curve card and setting that to dollars, didn't work. Don't know about Revolut, but what I read it seems like it used to but has been blocked as well.
Yes, I've spent ages trying to circumvent paypals stealth tax, just haven't managed it yet, boo hiss!
Thanks for your comments @MollyR, @onemouseplace, @SensibleSarah, @silvercar. I might transfer some every so often even with the 3-4%, as I'm losing the interest, and currency fluctuations might be smoothed out.
Interested in any other approaches, I was thinking it as treat money for the odd online spend, but with a pile of AI studies in $, there's more than I need now my phone was bought in £ (it was cheaper).

I’m just taking the hit on the rate. Can’t see myself needing dollars any time soon and it’s pointless it just sitting there.
