    I had one this evening say I wasn't eligible too. But I've had a good 90 minutes and if they all pay have done £14 or so worth of surveys this evening

    Did any one do

    Attitudes to Scents Part 1 by Aleksey Dumer

    £3.23 . £25.86/hr 7mins 

    To be paid you need to do both parts (part 2 you have a week to do)


    I opened part 2 yesterday and had a issue with my laptop which meant I timed out /returned it. Contacted the researcher immediately and explained asking them to resend

    They have replied they are too busy to do that.

    Disappointing. I've not really ever need to ask a researcher for help before but the response was really disappointing considering he is still collecting responses for another 5 days and had the time tobrespond to the messsge. As a result means I won't receive the payment for part 1

    Just returned this one as it asks for a postcode and address

    Yes, I opted out of that one too when it started asking for my exact address, house number and postcode.

    That was a step too far for me.

    Had my first ever rejection. A 3 minute survey paying 86p. Apparently I failed an attention checker :(

    Anybody trying to do the METV test on this one? I can't work out how to get the test to run. Can only play the training video. Have messaged researcher but no response. Don't want to return it as I've answered loads of questions.##

    I think the "training video" WAS the test, and guess that they are trying to see to what extent their videos are giving the message they want.  When I returned to the main study page, after working through the videos, I was asked whether I had answered the questions on 20 short videos - which sounded about right.  Anyway, they paid out straight away.

    I couldn't find the start button to run the videos, all I got was the youtube video of how to use the test. Never saw any of the facial expression stuff.

    It paid out for me on completion but obviously I've not completed all they wanted,

    As far as I remember, the start button was down the bottom of the page below the Youtube instructional window.
