Body scanning survey for fashion e-commerce. 

I want a heck of a sight more than £1.30 for sending them a video of myself in tight clothing. 

Rejected this one too. Wasn't worth it.

Had a nice run today though with surveys available in the hour I was online

Video interview about health states (~50 minutes)

Be aware, this is a 50 minute interview for £8, not a 9 minute one. Hovering over the time gives it away. I'm not sitting in an interview for £8 - if they want to do proper market research they need to pay accordingly.

I've completed a survey and a one hour zoom meeting followed by another survey. The information said it was £5 for 20 mins, £15 an hour. I'm hoping there will be more than £5 as this is far too much work otherwise. I suspect I may be wrong.

I've had a message to say that Prolific is having issues again.
'Prolific is having a technical problem and I am unable to load your study page in order to pay you. I have sent an email to Prolific support. The site has had this problem before and they were able to resolve it for me in 1-2 days.'

Don't waste your time with this one, they are looking for people who use 'standard gallon' liquid laundry detergent with a measuring cup. Think this should have been aimed at US and have advised researcher of such.

Thank you for your interest in taking our survey. In this survey, we aim to understand your experience with "Laundry Detergent." It is essential that you plan to perform actual laundry while participating. Please ensure you meet the following criteria:

1. You have not done laundry yet and intend to do so.
2. You have access to a personal washing machine.
3. You use a liquid detergent for your laundry, and the bottle comes with a measuring cup.

If you meet these criteria, please proceed. We greatly appreciate your collaboration. The survey is not long and hence it should not take you more than 4 minutes to complete. Thank you very much for your help.

Is there still a problem with PA?  I should have been paid £14.50 for a Zoom meeting but the researcher said PA had a problem and it would probably be resolved in a couple of days. I've heard nothing since. How long should I leave it until I contact the researcher?

I'm not aware of any problems myself;  I have been withdrawing money regularly and receiving it at once.  Of course, not every study has paid immediately, and some even hang on for the full 21 days before Prolific trigger the payment themselves, so if a certain researcher didn't quite have the hang of how to put the payment through to Prolific I wouldn't necessarily know about it.

It's not even pending. I did a study prior to the meeting and there is £5 awaiting review. The money for the meeting is nowhere to be seen.

I would raise it with Prolific.

I contacted the researcher who said it was a technical problem and it was with the engineers.
