    Hmmm .... perhaps even after one week of being running again the Writersshare system us having problems processing everything .. which isn't good for us!

    One thing I can't understand is why they did not accept comments continually throughout the week rather than leaving it all to one day?

    Surely it doesn't take this long as don't they have an automated system put in place now which only requires a few clicks?

    hi

    ive had no acceptance emails or payments. done about 15 comments as a test, havent done any for a few days so hoping you guys are right and that they are working backwards approving the comments!

    Has anyone recieved any payments yet?

    Be patient bro. They are only just finding their feet, they had a site closer for two weeks to clear the backlog of payments, and I know that I got weighed in but it was a bit late.

    I know it could end up being another 4 or 5 days before payment but the e-mails I recieved earlier stated ; 'You will be credited to your Paypal account Friday'.

    Perhaps this is just the day they expect to pay as it was an automated message but they haven't actually taken their current situation into account.

    The reason why I know I may appear over-worried but their announcement this morning said ; ''Dear everbody - we are going to shut down all the topics very soon while we start approving comments and make today’s payment.''

    This obviously meant they had the intention of sending out payments today so that is why I ask the question why nonbody has recieved any payments at all.

    Because paying people is the last thing on their "To Do" list.

    Last week they started paying people on Friday and were still paying people on Tuesday. This week they will have even more people to pay, as there were many people who heard about the site while it was down and were waiting for it to come up again.

    If they couldn't cope with last weeks payments they have no chance of coping with this weeks.

    That obviously can't bode well for the following weeks to come as alot of people have only commented to 'test the water' this week.

    i really hope it can keep together and funtion more efficiently when the amount of comments to moderate becomes even greater.

  • Same here ANDY597, no testing but only managed about 35 as I was revising for my A Level French oral exam quite alot lol or, supposed to anyway! J'ai besoin d'argent!

    From looking around this forum alot, i have seen alot of people saying they've only done one or two just to see if they get paid so it will be even worse when people are in it for real!

    Well done on the amount of comments too! If i did that many my brain would have difficulty functioning!

    I only managed about 15 comments this time before my brain melted. For the record I've also heard nothing so far.

    Fingers crossed though.
  • Just if anyone is interested, there is another good website called typehere.co.uk which pays you £10 for 10 reviews, open only to Uk residents.

    Although they are not extremely fast at paying, i earned my 10 pounds for writing 10 reviews and was payed approximately a week and a half after I completed them

    The only downside is the reviews must be at least 300 words, which is alot more than WritersShare.
