    Wondering if anyone else is having this issue tonight: When I go to prepay for hits with my Amazon payments balance, I get an error message stating: Invalid URL parameters.
    I have enough money on my account so I cant figure out whats going on. I did add money yesterday the same way, not sure if you can only do one transaction per day?? I wrote to mechanical turk but I am still awaiting a response so I thought i would check here in case its something simple or something others are experiencing or have experienced in the past.
    Thanks and take care,
    ~Melissa

    I don't have a clue from the Requester angle but as a worker, I have often seen this message when trying to check my transaction history. I log-out and then log-in and the error message disappears. This problem crops up from time to time. I remember workers complaining about it in 2009 and 2010.

    Invalid URL Parameters reappears

    I am a requester and I frequently ( > 2 times a day ) log in to prepay for the turk.
    However, since a couple of days, its giving me the 'Invalid URL Parameters' error.
    I tried 3 different credit cards.

    Melissa, did you find a solution to the problem?
