    Okay guys, granit was nice enough to find the Amazon general customer service number for me (because I'm seriously panicking here and can't really concentrate... I'm going to try to keep my eye on Turkalert for y'all and post good HITs til they either suspend me permanently or re-activate my account.)

    Amazon Payments is on my side at least. Well, the guy I talked to was lol.
    He sent them an internal memo on my behalf, to speed things along. Plus he said he would send me a copy of it. They'll get back to me within 1-2 business days.

    Fingers crossed.

    ETA: Going to be posting Turk Alert HITs after this message... Sorry for cluttering the thread up...

    David Matchett just posted a bunch more writing assignments on various subjects. He tends to pay quickly and TO matches. Plus fun to see your writing go online. I have several of my articles on emergencyfoodwarehouse.com now.

    No offense, but with Amazon's track record, I will believe it when I see it.

    I used to sell on Amazon. All my old college textbooks. I had one guy say that the book never made it to his house. I had the book sent and completed the next day after purchase. The complaint was filed two days after I sent it. (Not enough time for sure...)

    A week later, I had another complaint from someone that the book arrived with the side of it a little "wet". I packed it in a nice sturdy box. The customer never purchased insurance. I was found against by Amazon because I was supposed to pay for insurance, tracking and all that. I get a 2.50 credit for shipping. the book was 3.50 to ship without all that extra. I would have made a whole $2.00 on the sale.

    Next day, account suspended and set to terminate in 30 days. $480 on hold for 30 days to cover any "future complaints".

    Amazon is out to make whoever makes them the most money happy.

    I haven't had much love for amazon since then. I gave MTurk a try to give them a sort of second chance....

    Does anyone have experience with those baby category hits or are they completely new? They are super easy. I keep going back to them after I tell myself to stop. lol

    Best of luck Moutheater, you're invaluable to this forum. I hope Amazon sorts this out for you.

    You have to do ten hits to see if you get approved for the qualification. These are very quick and get approved almost instantly. I thought I didn't get the qual because the email said I got a 70 and needed a 75 but after a couple of minutes I got access to the hits that require the qual.

    The correct phrasing, sir, is: "WTMKF HAND" :)
