Basically, I feel exactly the same way you do. I think it comes down to the bidding system, which is very unusual for me as a European. There’s always someone who is perfectly happy to have a lavish dinner or stay in a hotel for free without actually getting paid for the work. That’s how Coyle attracts a lot of one-off testers while alienating the professionals who won't work for free and expect fair compensation.
But actually, that wasn't the topic of this thread.
The issue was that I still haven't received payment for my April jobs. I’ve since discovered that if you use PayPal with a primary currency other than USD, you have to add USD to your wallet first in order to receive USD. I stumbled upon this by accident. I really would have expected Coyle to point this out to new shoppers from abroad instead of just letting them walk right into a trap. I’ve informed Coyle about the situation; let's see when they make another attempt to pay.
