    Prolific offering PayPal as the only payment option from july is plain stupid . I’m banned on PayPal and i would not be surprised if many other prolific users are banned there too �� .

    What makes you say that? I can't see any reason why being a Prolific user would get you a ban. What did you do to be banned?

    Open it in a new window, quick. I must have finished with 2 seconds to spare. Good luck.

    Card game
    Hosted by wbs.ac.uk
    £0.50 minutes £5.00/hr 55 places remaining

    Upon completing the study, you will receive a payment between £1 and £4.50, which includes your £0.50 show-up fee.


    I got the full £4.50 from it, so very happy with that :) It did seem lopsided, though - as I see it, the maximum a recipient could have got was £2.50, as they only get 50p plus what the giver gives them - most probably ended up with £1 total - whilst the giver gets an automatic £2, plus a randomly selected 50p or £2, plus the 50p for doing the study, so a minimum of £3.

    What on earth did you do to get banned on PayPal :eek::eek:

    I can safely say I havent even heard of anyone being banned on that platform - its not in their interests to do so. You mustve been a bad, bad alfie. :rotfl:
