Well,I am already a user in the amazon mechanical turk and I have earned a good amount of money.But,now when I want to redeem the money I have earned I am facing a problem.They amazon only allows to deposit that money in United States bank accounts and I am from India.There are options to get the check in your home but that will result in deducting 4$ from what I earn.I also do not want to put my pan card details in the internet.So,can you tell me if there are any possibilities or way with which I can put the money into some payment processor sites? I wanted to ask another question.I have already bought an amazon gift card but I am not able to buy anything from amazon as shipping is not allowed in my country except a few items.What do you think I should do now.Can I redeem the money anyway?

Hey, tell you what! I have been paid my first Mturk earnings. I received my check yesterday. It took about 3 weeks much less than 6 weeks. So it proves that they pay, so don't worry guys and gals.

Yes, they did charge $4. I requested $29, I received a payment of $25. In Indian rupees, it is Rs 1236.00.

Hi swapan2525,thanks for elaborately describing it to me.I understood it.But,the rates are also good.1 $ means 50 INR is not it?Anyway,how can I use that check?That means for which bank the check is given?Do I need to make a new account in some bank to get the money?

Hi swapan2525,thanks for responding to this discussion.It is good to know that you have been paid.Congratulations you on your earnings.Do they charge anything when they make the payment?They say to deduct 4 dollars so if that is already cut off the payment or they take it from you when they make the payment.The check is from which bank anyway?

I have requested payment from MTurk recently. I entered my PAN card details because it is a safe site. We do that in India also whenever we join some earning programs including MLM programs.

Hi swapan2525,thanks for responding back to this discussion.I hope you receive the payment on time and get the reward of your hard work.Well,have you tried to buy something from amazon through the gift card?They do not allow shipping in India.Have you experienced this?

Unfortunately they do not support paypal. Their FAQ has a clear set of instructions for payments in India.
You can get amazon gift certificates and try selling them in ebay where you can get paypal. Its a roundabout way but may work!

Yes - you will need an ebay account. Signing up is free.
However listing an item for sale is a little tricky. Search for other Amazon gift cards and see how much they are sold for. Also be aware of charges that ebay will levy for listing and selling.
Ebay is an easy to use site and I'm sure you'll get a hang of it. There are several people who sell gift coupons there.

There is nothing. I have confirmed with them. As paypal is their competitor, so that would not be an option.
Believe me, its worth not to get money rather than disclosing your PAN details. I know , this site is safe but still you never know as we would work as freelancer ( A kind off )...
I joined the site, i used to collect money, transfer to amazaon certs and redeem for goods like perfumes and other items...
but in a day, you could hardly earn 4 to 5 bucks ...:((

Hi taran_2005,thanks for responding to this discussion.Yes,you are right that you can earn a few bucks per day only working in this site.But,the main thing for m is if a site is legit or not.This site is legit according to my knowledge.So,I am continuing to work on this site.What problems do you can face if you disclose your PAN card details here?

Hi venmarz13,thanks for responding to this discussion started by me.Well,amazon has a special program called mturk where you have to perform different tasks to earn some money.The money at initial level is not high,but it grows more with your qualification level increasing.

Hi JDudek,thanks for your response and sharing your idea with me.I tried what you said but you know you require to install a particular software to download legit music from this site.But,I was not sure if I should go with it as that software may be some malicious program.
