    so far today I have done 63 comments on all topics available, even doing some from 2 and even 3 different view points, hopefully all get accepted. Not happy that paypal see it as a chargable service though!

  • Well, I wrote 4 comments over the weekend, no they're not exactly fave subjects of mine but I managed it. Must say though that I'm so impatient waiting to hear if they've been accepted.

    So sorry for those who wrote to a closed topic, if this happens to me I'll be really cross, but good idea to put them in a blog.

    Does anyone know the best and free-est way of starting a blog that can then carry ads?I've been meaning to do this for ages but so nervous of technical stuff:confused:

    Thanks for posting. Have tried a couple of comments today, also lost one as it was being changed at time of posting.

    I've started copying the post in case it gets 'lost' when submitted.

    Same here I was not amused when I saw they took quite a large cut for doing nothing. I need to keep my Premier for my Ebay selling but going to open up a personal account later today.

    Does anyone know if you can have two paypal's linked to the one bank account?

    I've just checked round PayPal to see about opening a personal account to receive payments from writersshare - I have a premier account for ebay - but I see that we get charged because the money sent to us is via the States - whereas payments received from companies in this country (like Pinecone for instance) do not incur a charge to us.

    So for payments to us for between £1 to £1,500 we will be charged:

    3.9% + £0.20 GBP

    I think it might be fairer if writersshare made it clear on their website that payments to UK residents will incur this fee.

    I will still keep on writing for them (it's better than nothing) but I'm not going to be writing any more 350 word articles for that kind of money! When they say 150 or so words - that's what they're gonna get! ;)
    I don't drink, don't smoke, don't go out - why aren't I rich?
    Don't worry, I'm working on it! :p

    I have written a few comments and have't received any email at all from them. Do you only get an email if you are accepted?

    Can I just say again, that my husband tried a couple of comments and used a different Paypal account to me - he didn't get charged any fees.

    This was paid into a personal account. You are allowed to have one personal account and one Premier account. Therefore, it really is worth setting up a personal account or changing your current account to a personal account (if it isn't needed for business purposes). You can apply to have your account changed by using the 'contact us' option at the bottom of Paypal.

    Hope some people can sort this because it really is frustrating having fees taken off, when it doesn't seem that you need to.

    (Or you may just want to ignore me because I really have no idea when it comes to Paypal LOL).

    I didn't get an email for two comments that didn't get accepted. Well I assumed they didn't get accepted as I didn't get paid for them.

    I know some people have had "rejection" emails, but as more people do this, and write more comments they will be too busy to do "rejection" emails.

    How did you manage to rack up 63 comments in a day and how long did it take you ? Even doing 3 comments per topic, there isnt enough topics to write that many.
  • Hey everyone

    was going to ask do you get a rejection email, ive done 3 more comments last week and i've heard nothing. What do you all think?
