My mom is a member of inbox dollars and she was telling me the other day how she wished that they paid members through paypal and I agreed with her because paypal is faster and you dont have to worry about traipsing off to the bank or worry if the bank will cash it.
Don't get me wrong shes greateful for the site and that it pays but she just thinks it be a lot easier to just recive payment via paypal instead of paper check, what is your thoughts on inbox dollars payment method?

There are very trustworthy because they do pay and checks never get rejected but really it would be best to have online payment processors added maybe paypal first and then alertpay and moneybookers.
I just hope they do that soon by adding paypal but I don't think that is going to change as inbox dollars seems made for U.S. Residents, quite a pity.

Payment by Paypal is much much better and faster than the paper check that you receive from the mail after several days. And besides, you cannot just cash it once presented to the bank, you have to wait for several weeks, perhaps a month before you could realize and enjoy the cash. Clixsense was also like that at first, offering just the paper check, but just recently members have the option to choose which method we prefer - and they pay via Paypal too, these days.

I agree with your mother. It seems to take forever to get a response from inbox dollars. You wait and wait for your cashout to come. Then you have to wait for them to process a check. Then you are still waiitng for the check in the mail. It would a lot less stressful if they would use paypal as a payment option.

That part definitely sucks for me haha because I still sort of am not sure how to cash a check with my bank as they are not found in the area I am in now. I might have to do the mail in deposits or something. I am so close to my first payout on inboxdollars. I mostly just do the emails but I try some surveys every now and then. Is that how you earn with them or not?

Many hackers use Paypal because they can set up an account with false information easily. They can even buy a verified account in the web, so the credit card verification does not really affect them. As for checks, you'll reveal your location, which is the last thing hackers want to reveal. That being said, hackers can give a fake address anyway.

I'd definitely like it if InboxDollars added a PayPal option. That'd be a lot more convenient for me. However, I am glad that some sites at least offer the option of paying by check...not everyone has a PP account and I've heard stories of people being banned from PayPal so I guess it's not a good idea to become totally dependent on PayPal.

It takes a while since it is a check. My wife just requested a check there yesterday so now for the 4 week waiting game I think. What I hate is the fact they take off $3 for fee processing. I find that to be unfair but they give it back to you as starting balance for the next round or earnings which I guess is ok. Toluna used to pay by PayPal and recently switched back to check which I find annoying due to the delays in getting the money.

well, sooner or later those kinds of sites that use checks would be using paypal too. so it might be better to keep the money and wait for a time to transfer when paypal is implemented. but then, i know of a site who uses checks so that people who arent you who would send your money to their paypal account instead would not be able to.
