Can you use your mylot balance to pay for tasks ?

Actually I have also got the same question. After a googling in my web browser I found that the answer is no. You can't use your unpaid myLot earning in tasks. You need to do that with a task fund given through your own PayPal. I wish this help you!

No I've heard you have to use paypal funds. What you can do is receive your payout from mylot and just transfer it back to mylot for your tasks fund. That's what I will most likely be doing eventually.

You have to fund your task fund from your Paypal. This is because, until you get paid, the earnings in your balance are not yours and are only estimated until payout. They could decrease if you lose posts due to violations. Check the FAQs before creating a task If you post one that is not allowed admin will remove it: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq22.aspx
