Market Force Shop board down to nothing?

When MarketForce had to go back to the old site after the fiasco with the release of the new site, the number of shops in my area dropped significantly. Now, the only jobs I see in my area are two Arch shops that are out of town. No shops posted from any of the other usual suspects. I've never seen the pickings that low.

Are others also finding a reduced number of shops? Did MF screw up the old site when they switched back so that new shops aren't being posted to it?

DRJ, I've noticed the same in my area. I've only been doing this since March, but I haven't seen the list get as short as it is right now, at least not this early in the month. I don't necessarily suspect that there is some problem with the listings, but I have noticed jobs I am watching (waiting to the rate to get more realistic) disappear and then reappear a day or two later. One shop went away and they called me about it with a higher rate but I wasn't available during the dates they had. The next day it went back on the board at a lower rate than they offered me. IDK

Could I have a receipt please?

My MF board has no jobs listed either but that has happened periodically. Not sure why.

A bunch of Odd Fry Guy shops just showed up again with due dates of next week. They had dropped off my board after the switch back to the old site.

I can see shops but they have small three day shopping windows on them. Most of the ones in this area are weekend shops.

Mine has the normal amount for this time of the month.

Try changing the search criteria as it is not reliable. If I search for shops within 20 miles of my city (the default setting) I do not see shops for a neighbor city that is less than 20 minutes from me. If I change the search criteria to that city, several shops show up. So experiment with searches for specific cities and also try to change the mileage.

I changed my search criteria three times, there are only 3-4 shops in my area instead of the usual 25-30 for this time of month. I agree, the jobs aren't showing.

I just checked, there are three in this area, that is within 100 mile radius.

I think Market Force is calling earlier this month. Also, when auto Samantha emails those jobs disappear for 24 hours or so and then show back up when the $3 bonus isn't jumped on.

I haven't noticed a change in number of shops on the board, since the debaucle of MF's new site.

I noticed a HUGE drop in the amount of shops. I am in Orlando and we normally have 50 to 150 shops at any given time and ever since the site got updated it has dwindled to barely anything. There are nine total shops right now and it's been between nine and 14 ever sine the update.

I tried this for my area and just got various small numbers of shops. You are right, the miles from zip isn't reliable as searching a nearby zip may show shops that fall within the original radius of the first zip. However, this was an issue before the failed launch.

Maybe we will get lucky and there will be a bunch of phantom shops that don't show up until they fix some glitch. Then they will be in such a panic to get them done we will have bonuses up the wazoo! A virtual MS feeding frenzy!!

Ok, back to reality.

Hello everyone. I am very new to this mystery shopping thing. However I am enjoying
myself immensely. Im going on my third month. I've registered with MF but the only jobs that are offered to me are either Automotive sales or service. Neither of which I am Interested in. In my search criteria I enter "all".

I saw a shop for $20 two days ago and a scheduler from Georgia called me and offered it for $50

Ah..yeah!

and thank you!

batmann, I tried to send you a PM, but was unable to. Are you sure you don't have Market Force confused with Best Mark?

(heart)

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

I have one airport shop on my job list for Marketforce and it has been that way since they tried their new website. I just figured I was getting the axe.

Nothing has changed in my job list. I normally just look at them when I get an email on
shops available in my area.

Job board is very slim in my area, as well. They lost a grocery client that I loved....oh, how I hope they return at some point.

3 shops here today. lol

There's only three here, too!

There are 16 shops here compared to the usual 50-60.

I haven't seen any Arch shops in months, and I noticed mine was extremely slim this month too.

A bunch of new shops showed up today.

I have three listed within a hundred miles, and that includes the entire Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex.

Mary Davis Nowell. Based close to Fort Worth. Shopping Interstate 20 east and west, Interstate 35 north and south.

I agree with Mary. The DFW area is almost devoid of MF shops.

All gone here. I took most of them. Someone is shopping in my area and now, I'm in theirs. Ha!

Maybe it's because it's hot. It was so hot today, I saw a dog chasing a cat and they were both walking.

LOTS of shops here with single digit fees. Now, if you want to change the title of this thread to "Market Force Shop Fee down to nothing?"...then I am on board with you.

Apparently they need something shopped. The CA number just called my cell phone back to back and then my home phone back to back. 4 calls in less than 2 minutes.
