Dooyoo - Get paid to write reviews (Merged thread)

clearmydebts

My pending points are adding up but I have had none of my reviews rated since about 2pm today and can't post a review. Does this mean my account has been suspended?

Does anyone know? There is nothing on my account to say suspended?

Surely they would say if it was suspended.Maybe they are having a few technical hitches as yesterday there were a few problems. I haven't posted anything today,although I have rated some reviews and no problems with that. Hopefully I'll have time to do 2 or 3 reviews tomorrow.

Thanks for replying Sweetpea.

Hopefully, it is a glitch. I had written a fairly long review as well but can always post it tomorrow if I haven't been booted off!!! I presume they wouldn't allow your pending points to build up if your account has been suspended.

Hopefully the dooyoo team will reply tomorrow. They have been very helpful so far so fingers crossed!

Good!

Still not impressed at only getting 100 or so points when they promise 500.

clearmydebts

No, that's not good at all. I would be very annoyed as well. Have you emailed them about it? I emailed them a couple of times last week and they got back to me fairly quickly. They also seemed pretty nice.

No - I was a bit scared of rocking the boat - they might look at my reviews and decide to ban me or something! Now I'm close to the 10k I thought I'd just struggle on, get the voucher and then not bother any more.

Anyway, I'm not sure exactly how many times I didn't get the full 500 points, I don't know if they can check.

clearmydebts

I thought they would be able to check the points but I can understand you not rocking the boat.

I like writing the reviews but I tried slice the pie and couldn't stick it. It was driving me mad!

Hi all , I've just joined dooyoo and was wondering if there were any things I should keep in mind when it comes to reviewing, or any tips at all?

Thanks muchly! x

I'm a bit puzzled about this. I've just done a review, over 150 words, and it said I would get 500 points, but when I check my total there's only about 100 points been added. I thought this happened a couple of times before but couldn't be sure as I hadn't noted down the exact points before the review was done.

Has anyone else noticed this, or have I done something wrong to only get 100 or so points?

What was the review on? You don't get 500 miles for speakers corner reviews only points for ratings.

Ooh, that might be it, Raks. The last one was my top 10 singles. And one of the previous ones was a rant about ebay (that is, an informed discussion!!!).

Fair enough if that's the rule - but it should be made clearer because when I submitted the review I still got the message about 'if your review was more than 150 words you have just been awarded 500 points'. They should make that clearer. But thanks, at least I understand why now!
