I had still a balance of $30 there but I could not get the money since they change the payment method. They no longer accept Paypal while in alertpay and moneybooker is hard to transfer money to transfer in my bank account. It cost so much so their would be nothing left on me. Currently, they offer less task and I only visit there rarely.

How I wish that Microworkers didn't remove Paypal as their method of payment... I agree that it is difficult to withdraw money from Alertpay; so what I do, I exchange my Alertpay funds to people who are in need of Alertpay funds and they pay me using their Paypal funds.

Thanks fb and fw for sharing your experiences about microworks . I do prefer paypal . Alertpay is not allowing Indians to add our bank to the account . So it's really difficult to get the payment from microworkers .

No it is not true you get paid via alertpay and Moneybookers only, before they use to pay via paypal but not anymore I do not know why, I am not Indian so I do not know if they are being paid finally my experience with microworkers is good they have always paid me I have been paid a total of 15 times via paypal and alertpay.

I talked to my friend, who also signed up for Microworkers, just a few weeks after I did.
He has reached his first payout amount, several months ago in fact, and requested his PIN to be mailed to him. Twice. He has never received it...
So today he checked to confirm that his mailing address and details are correct. They are, in deed, correct.
He's already sent them one mail, and received no response. He lives in the same country and even the same town that I do.
I received my PIN and all of my payments without any difficulties.
Very frustrating for my friend... and it makes Microworkers look very bad!

Hello rollylolly,
In my past payment record with this Microworkers within this year, 2012, I am glad to share with you as below:
a: I submitted my payment request on Jan 12, 2012 for the amount of $9.15. I received it in my Moneybookers account on Jan 13, 2012 .
b: I submitted my payment request on March 1, 2012 for the amount of $9.09. I received it in my Moneybookers account on March 3, 2012.
c: My last submitted payment request on April 7, 2012, until today's date April 16, 2012, it is still under the pending mode.
Anyhow, I never encountered any payment issue with this Microworkers for my past 10 payments. Now, I start worrying if this Microworkers is still surviving or not.
I never want to miss this Microworkers if it is really going wrong now..

Yeah, they are still paying. I got paid last week I guess or two weeks ago but just recently. Good thing that they are still paying but sometimes the task are almost the same but the rates are high so I am still working in there. God bless.

I have done a lot of microworkers and I have been paid many times by them. But since they do not pay by paypal anymore it is only alertpay or moneybookers and I don't belong to either one of them. So I don't know how I am going to get my money out. I did like doing the tasks and making the money and on the site it does say get paid by debit or credit card but I can't find the option to pick that one. So I think a lot have abandoned this site because of the paypal thing.

Rollylolly ... I am a member of Microworkers, most of the tasks mentioned are not for Indians in many cases. I have tried my self .. at the end of the registration page .. it does not belong to your geographical region.
As far as the payment is concerned .. its says Paypal for Indians .. I am not sure about the other parts of the world. Payout is at $25.
