I need to cancel an ipsos shop = after reading what was required too much work for too little money- I do not see a cancel button anywhere. I read somewhere they the shops cancel if not submitted- is that your experience?

Correct. Just don't submit the shop and it will drop a day or so after the due date. I've done it a few times and haven't had any issues. If you aren't sure about a particular shop, just sign up for one and carefully study the guidelines and questions on the report before signing up for others.

I have found that when the shops are on the "magic" platform, they can be cancelled by clicking on the shop, then clicking on the green icon at the right upper corner of the screen and then, just clicking on the red "delete evaluation" icon for the particular shop.

It you have scheduled it out and can change the date, change to today and have it drop off faster. Be honorable.

To reiterate what French Farmer said, if you wish to cancel an instant shop on the "magic" app, you can open up the task itself in the website or mobile app. Once opened, in the upper-right corner of the screen you will see a green button/icon with a person figure and three dots. Click/tap that icon and a menu will slide in from the right showing all shops you have reserved. Each one has a "Delete Evaluation" red button beneath each task. Click the button beneath the task you wish to cancel and you'll get a popup asking "are you sure" with a yes/cancel option. Click "yes" and the shop/task is removed from your list. Make sure you're cancelling the right one so you have to click the delete button BELOW the task name.

Keep in mind, its pin will reappear on the map. Should you decide to take it again, you won't be able to claim it for 24 hours after you first removed it. When you open the task to claim it and you're still in that 24-hour period, the app will show you a message instead explaining this rule and give you how many hours left until you can reclaim it.

Also, please note, doing quick cancellations regularly shouldn't be a common practice for folks who think they can simply grab a bunch and then figure out a route and cancel other tasks later with no real penalty. The system can track cancellation rates in some way where if this becomes common practice, you may not be able to even do tasks at all because you cancel way too much. Hope that makes sense
