Well friends, I just got my credits converted to cash, but along with that I got a message...........Here is that message.......... **Before you can receive payments, you must validate your PayPal account and address by sending a refundable $1 payment to us using the option 1 button below, OR use the alternate non-refundable $2 option and we will give you 50 Trek searches upon validation. Make sure you have a VERIFIED PayPal account with a CONFIRMED address before proceeding. Please allow up to 24 hours for us to validate your account, and add your searches if you have selected option 2. I don't mind going with the first option as i am happy with the result that i got in just 1 week.......I think i should make my payout within next few weeks......and if i go with the first option do i need to have a verified paypal account ???? But if someone has cashed out earlier, do you think it is worth paying $1 to trekpay and will they really refund that amount back to me.......please help..... And for those who have still not joined trekpay, I think you are missing something.....the link is in my profile join now !!!! Iceman are you around ?????

I got the same message. I paid the $1 to verify my Paypal account. I will let you know when (and if) I get the refund. I saw that for my 375 credits, I got $1.95. I think that is great!

Oh that's great, please do let me know if you get a refund, but is that refund after you cashout or you would get it in few days...... I got about $2.38 for some 450 credits........so not bad for me either...... And if we send them $1 then do we need to have a verified paypal account or it is fine of we don't.......thst is what is confusing me as i don't have a verified account as yet !!!!

I am confuse. i got the same message. so we have to pay one dollar for paypal verification? Did i get it right?As of this moment I do not have a balance in my paypal account. So when they verified it, possible it will be decline. I already withdraw all my funds.So what do you think is the best option to do? Would I also choose option 2?What is with option 2?

Anyways you have to shell the amount from your pocket, whether you choose option 1 or you choose option 2, the only difference is you will get that $1 back in your account whereas you will get 50 searches in place of those $2 which is not refundable........ I still didn't get any solid answers about the the VERIFIED account of the paypal......whether it is applicable to the option 2 or both the options !!!!

@irfan well sorry buddy i was busy typing by the time you posted this comment.....are you sure we need a verified paypal account, even if we pay that $1 of amount......I don't mind spending $1 for verification purpose but then my paypal account is unverified......

I recently registered at this site and I've heard that earnings is good here.Maybe its not bad to cash out your $1 just for verification purposes..anyway it is refundable as you've said.

I really don't understand that, as I never got that message, and I was able to cash out today, as I have $7.39 in there, as you need $5.50 to cash out. I don't know why you dot that message, as no one has ever said anything about a message like that. I really don't know what to say about it, but maybe someone else that is doing trekpay might know. I hope I don't get that message. If I do, I will know what to do them. Thanks for the info, and good luck to you.

oh you mean to say its just me..... but then the above person got that same message as well..... So i suppose there might be a handful of people who have got that message but i really don't know why......I will wait for few more responses to see what should i do, as i found the trekpay concept too good and don't mind investing about $1.....which as they claim will be refunded to me.......so not bad !!!! Have a nice day and thanks for dropping in.....

I think it is just to verify your account.they are giving it back(refund)that money to u once your account if verified.so don't worry.just go ahead and verify it.lot of people here are doing that.so i think it is legit.

I also got the same message, and since I don't have a credit card, my PayPal account is not verified. That me I will have to leave TrekPay.
