Have you gotten paid? How long have you been here? How much have you made so far? What type of paypal account do you have? Do you HAVE to have a bank account or can they send checks? Have you had any negative experiences with them?

I have been with MyLot since June - before they started paying people to post here. I have been paid every month since they started paying people. I have a PayPal premiere account because I wanted to have the debit card. Yes, you can get checks from PayPal. Normally, I don't transfer any of the money out of PayPal because most of the merchants I shop with online - Barnes and Noble and Starbucks - take PayPal as payment. So I buy any "luxury" items with the money I make here and all my college teextbooks.

When I joined there was more like 6,000 members. By the end of July (still before they started paying) they were up around 15,000.

i think paypal charges $1.50 to send out a check...so it may be best to let your funds accumulate before you withdraw...

i am also really happy that paypal did not take any fees for the deposit into my account from myLot...that would have been a bummer...or a doh...

Yes. I have been paid twice...I have been here since August..how mcuh I have been paid I don't wish to share...Nor what kind of paypal account I have..but you have to have what ever account they require for where you live to get paid.

I am about to get my payment this month.I joined by the end of september.Till today i have made around 20 dollars.You can have paypalaccount which is free and they do give checks but you have to bear the transcation fee with paypal.Better to have a bank a/c or credit card link with paypal.

Thanks for your response. I'm going to have to stick with a regular paypal account, as I do not have a bank account at the moment. That being said, what are the paypal transaction fees like? What percentage do they take out?

I've been here about a week and a half and have made close to 14.00 so far. I haven't gotten paid yet cause their next pay period isn't untill the 15th of November! I missed the last pay period by just one day!

I've been here less than a week so its a bit of a learning curve for me. I've been trying to respond to older discussions as well as adding to the really big ones, will see how it all pans out

Mylot so far has been rather glitchy for me and I am not sure how they do the payment thing exactly yet..though a million people think they know their formulas are innaccurate when it comes to how much I am earning...the earning aspect is fun, but I guess time will only tell if it is going to be worth my time since I have not been paid yet... there is a lot of pointless little kid like spam on here too

Well so far, I have heard great things, about this place but you never know. I have had my faith in a lot of places online, and it turned out to be a bummer, but I really think this place isnt a scam.

That isn't bad. Thank you for your response. This is my second day. Im at 2.67. I'm trying to figure out Mylot's formula but I havnt yet! I suppose they go by your posts, but I'm not sure. Sometimes, it appears that they randomly give out change to active members. lol

This is my second day on MyLot. How much do you earn per post? I briefly scanned through some other posts, and I can't figure it out either.

To my knowledge, nobody knows the forumula. It has something to do with how many posts you make, and how long your discussions are. I beleive it has something to do with the qality of your posts aswell but I guess that may just boil down to how long your discussions are. I'm only 2 days old right now. lol
