Marketforce Mastercare Audits

July 14, 2011 03:41PM
DO NOT TAKE THIS SHOP! It pays $14 and has 20 pages of detailed instructions and requires 23-40 digital camera photos.

You are unable to view the instructions and guidelines until after you accept the shop(A practice that should be eliminated). I talked to someone who did this shop and it took that experienced shopper over 1 1/2 hours to enter and upload including 1 hour at the facility.

Thank God....I had that job, but they kicked me out because I wouldn't give them my SSN. Good for me.

I use this as a rule of thumb....Market Force seems to pay 7 bucks for your average vanilla assignment. If you see them pay twice that, it probably means that the assignment is twice as intensive.

Most Mastercare facilities are no bigger than a 1 bedroom apartment. with the exception of tyhe "garage" area. Why it took you so long is beyond me. and if you take more pictures then you need then you can weed thru them to find the better ones. to your "No" answers.

How experienced was the shopper and you? Ur time factor seems about normal.

Most MSC companies would accept EIN, and that my friend is good for U.

On Monday I took the photo's and it only took me 1/2 hour. When I did it the first time it took over an hour. Yes, you are correct it takes a long time to upload the photos. I am happy they accepted the two I did this month but in January they only accepted one after we went back and forth with emails. On the other hand, I did the florist photo's, they rejected the photo's. I can't believe they do not like the quality. I have been using this camera for over a year and followed the instructions but they still do not like them. So what's the big deal. My husband enjoyed the vase of flowers for over a week for free.

These companies are credible, some have shoddy practices in the grading and acceptance tines, but they are credible. Credible meaning that you are paid for the completed work.

We cannot get tax free money. we have to pay taxes on it after it passes 600 bucks. fact of life. They need your SSN and you can get more work smiling smiley

Hi there...

I would say I am an experienced shopper at 60+ shops a month. I drove one hour each way to do this shop. It took an hour to fill out the audit and take the pictures. After an hour of trying to input the photographs on MarketForce's new photo upload system, I decline the job. There is a limit of what I will do for $14, and this shop was it. I have done many photo audits with MarketForce in the past, but when I was I was going to be uploading 60 photos one at a time under their new system. I reached my limit. Not only is the job underpaid, the new photo upload system is a failure for an "experience shopper."

Moving on....

Don't travel a distance that makes the shop a bad one, I would think that if you are mad at the travel time that you accepted, a negative attitude will blend into the shop. I've been in bad moods right before a shop, but refocus, REFOCUS! These folks had nothing to do with my travel or the call I just finished with my son about him crashing the car! REFOCUS! AHEM...is the lot manicured and well maintained......no trash.....My other world is on Mars at this point!
