Second to None, dropping like a fly

Do you only make $10 a month with this MSC ?

It says it is $ a month, not per payment.

>>> a processing fee of $1.00 is deducted from the total monthly payment.<<<

Second to None charges for PayPal because they also offer direct deposit as a free option.

Just set up for DD. That's what I did and I never had a problem.

I agree. I prefer PayPal, but when I signed up in 2008, I read their payment information. They tell you up front that direct deposit is their preferred payment method and that they charge a dollar fee to pay by PayPal. Since I did not want that deduction, I signed up for direct deposit. It works fine and there are no deductions.
Does their website work on Firefox yet? I haven't worked for them in a long time, largely because I hate opening IE, but also because they don't give you a chance to respond if you make an innocent error on a report, like hitting the wrong number for the time. I used to do TONS of the coffee shops for them. I entered a time wrong BY A MINUTE and they rejected my shop because it was not 10 minutes between stores. They don't tell you, you just find out when you get paid and don't see it.

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.
I was paid on 8/15 for all the shops that i completed in July. So far no problems paying.

In my area this company has about 3 pages of shops within a 20 mi radius. They look like they have ff as well as medical stuff and also looks like they just got a cable company.

I just did a sandwich shop for them that had a $3 bonus to it and since the meal came to under $8, this is in effect a $5 fee for filling out a very easy report. Gotta say I love, love, love their sandwich shops. Not so much the Medicare shops but the sandwich shops work for me. Have had no problems with them since my first shop for them last July.
No sandwich shops here, but I like their wine shops.

They continue to deduct $1 from my monthly pay even though I have direct deposit. I switched to Paypal eight months ago, for one month, when I switched banks, then changed my payment option to the new bank. Eight months later, still deducting $1 from one of my shops every month.

I still love them. They call me to let me know if a report is under Clarification Needed, when I do something stupid like upload the same picture twice at 3 am, not realizing.

Plan the work. Work the plan.
I've only done a few shops for them. What they have in my area is limited, only drug screenings and in-home med exams for insurance. They are pretty low paying shops so I really don't do them any longer.
HA! I just deleted their ass from my list today. I was literally getting spammed with the same emails all day long about cheap pizza and donut shops so I updated my profile to not receive emails since I check most of my companies website every day anyway.
So they sent me an email that my account was deactivated. OK so I hit the delete button to their folder, so there.
Towncountry, since you aren't registered with that many companies and don't seem to be finding a lot in your area yet, it is a little early to be deactivating yourself over too many emails. I often get 50 to 100 emails per day. It takes seconds to delete them.

Today, I took a $25 pizza shop with a $30 reimbursement, which makes me think you might have been wise to request something a little less drastic, such as not emailing you (or, if possible, changing your own settings), as opposed to asking to be deactivated?

(heart)

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
Still learning, me too! I've made $260 this month from the pizza shop alone. For two minutes of picture-taking and an 8 minute report, I consider these super easy and well-paying.

------------------------------------------------
Plan the work. Work the plan.
After I saw samples of all of the required photos, I'm guessing the picture-taking will run a lot longer than two minutes for me. Is it even edible after that?

(heart)

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
It wasn't much edible before that, but yeah, just throw it into the oven for a few minutes.

The side view ones are a lot easier than the cut view ones, but even those get easy after your first few.

Easy eazzzy, essssaayyyyy...Pizzams up with a glass of Chardonnay in pajama bottoms. HeeHee ha.. Lol!
Pizza bottoms! LOL! Queiit Clearwater River Lodge, catching fish. Floating the river, getting takeout for the pizza bottom shop. Don't get much better than this!

Very premature to cut off a company because you are impatient with a few emails about low paying shops. You wrote on another thread you are looking for high paying shops in your area. Many companies have both high and low paying shops. Unless a new shopper is lucky enough to be in an area of no competition, he will not see many high paying jobs initially. If you continue to walk away from the frogs without even thinking about them, much less giving them a little kiss, you may never meet the prince.
I had done one shop for $40 with them this year up until this past week. Deleted 200+ emails from them. They got a new client, and I did 6 shops for a total of $264 this past week with them. I'll gladly delete a thousand emails for that kind of pay, even if only once per year.
All I ever see in my area are Health Care shops with so-so fees, and those sandwich shops that pay a flat rate. I live in a huge metro area. Really surprised about 2TN. I signed up with them when they had the big java chain. Then, they lost it. Not crazy about getting paid with a sandwich, plus those assignments don't fit my schedule.
I have not seen the Office Supply shops much either in recent months....I did my first shop with them in awhile about a month ago when I did a Fast Casual (in this area they do a Fast Casual local shop mostly at lunchtime) dinnertime shop as that one was bonused out and they worked with me so I could do it after my workday.

Otherwise pickings are slim...the one donut shop does not have many locations in this nick of the woods....they seem to mostly have shops where you meet with someone at a local place which is always during the day when I am at my full-time job.

I miss them as their shops were not that hard.

Me, too. That was 8 years ago and I was making $100 for 5 java chain monthly (airport).

So THEY deactivated you, not the other way around. And if you can not handle getting a ton of e-mails on a daily basis, you will not survive in this business. You seem to have a bit of an attitude for being a newbie. From reading some of your other posts, you want everything handed to you on a silver platter. That is not going to fly around here.
