I was applying for a Pan-card to get a PayPal account to withdraw money from micro-workers. But unfortunately PAYPAL is removed from microworkers.
Other than PayPal, others are very costly to withdraw.

I visited the Microworkers site and the Paypal logo is still there. Perhaps you made a mistake.

I looked on the offical facebook page for microworkers and it says that they are going to reinstate paypal later on. So hopefully we won't have to sign up with alert pay and moneybookers ew! I just will wait and do some more projects before I cash out. However if you follow those links that Varier posted you will see there are many people who have their payments in limbo or paypal pending so think about it before you cash you if you can wait a little while I would do so. I would be mad too however, I hope this gets resolved quickly indeed!

I wonder why they are still placing Paypal logo there
But actually, they already no longer accept Paypal as their payment processor.
There're some members asking about that issue on their official Facebook page:

And also there already similar discussion that discuss about this topic:

I would suggest that moneybooker is a good alternative. But the only drawback is your money gets splits between paypal and moneybookers.

Are you sure that this site is going to scam. There are lots of employers and workers there.

As far as I know, since they haven't say anything about the reason, all thing that I can do is just guessing.
Maybe they have an account limit issue, so they can't make any payment through Paypal?
I hope it is not permanent issue, so they can pay via Paypal again

What I tried to say is, I will have to put my earnings from microworkers into moneybookers and my earnings from minuteworkers into alertpay. So For example I will have 10$ in moneybookers & 10$ in alertpay.
If paypal is not removed from microworkers, I could have accumulated my 20$ into paypal alone which will be helpful to me while transaction. Have You Got my point?

If Paypal returns I could accumulate my money into my paypal account. My money is now split between 2 accounts

I do not think they're still dealing with PayPal
Because it already exists and I arrived at the site of $ 4 and a half and I will when I drag them to the $ 5 to my account on PayPal

I suppose they had their PayPal account limited on July 15th, but all they said officially about PayPal is on their Facebook page since July 19th : "While we were implementing Alertpay automated deposit we disabled Paypal (temporary). Paypal will be activated shortly."
It would be a disaster for many people living in countries not able another processor if PayPal would not come back. But it is not so easy : Matrixmails had been suspended two times since the beginning of this year, and it needs about 2 months each time, to create another company to do the payments...
Personally I am doing less tasks at Microworkers actually, waiting for the return of PayPal : AlertPay is not a good option for me. I am a bit worried and don't know what to do, as they don't gave any update about PayPal since this small phrase.

But Paypal have so many features when compared to the other sites. Since they reached the more number of users, they had increased the rates for Business.

most of the earning sites have started to remove paypal payment because they are using alertpay now a days. The alertpay also offers referral system so the site owners get paid for including members in alertpay.

Alertpay fees are very high. They are charging 15 USD for a single transaction. I am not going to loose my one month earning from one site into that..
