    Hi folks, can I ask a quick question?

    Apologies if it's obvious, I'm very new to PA. I've just cashed out £5.57, and they have paid £5.20 into my paypal account. Is the difference paypal fees?
    I don't see any mention on PAs website that they will deduct fees.

    PayPal cash outs are charged PayPal's 2.9% + 20p fee.

    Thank you. I've only ever tried onepoll before and they paid out the full amount. Sure I'll get used to other survey sites.

    Hi ellie99, if you sign up to Circle.com and wait until you have at least £20.01 (I kid you not) you can cash out for free. If you do decide to do this, please use someone's referral code as you and they receive £5 for free. As far as I know, this is still the case; it certainly used to be.

    HTH.

    I had that too. A most strange set of questions.

    I keep "getting" one this morning for £3.80 and then it being full when I click on it, filthy so and sos.

    Has anyone done that 90 minute voice recognition one? It keeps popping up again (I presume because people are giving up/being rejected) but I'm not convinced it's worth it for the time taken.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I'm trying to do it but having lots of issues. I've been messaging the researcher about all the glitches I'm getting but they said no one else is having trouble. I'm not convinced :think:

    I did one for 8.70 the other day which was 520 sentences into a Chinese app. It was a ballache, but more than I'd have earned for watching celebrity Masterchef
