    yeah thats what I'm saying...They will give us work on our site through our paypal acc..... as we used to get paid through Amazon Acc. But we need a good Web designer.... Who can design the site..... Need to work hard or no change...

    Your idea is good, but difficult as hell... Just go through the rules and regulations, tax problems and hundreds of government regulations for starting such a site. MTurk had the giant Amazon as its Godfather, and that too in U.S. But we are much helpless here...Anyway, I appreciate you people for your protest.

    Better talking...I think we should consult someone who knows much about this...Like starting a website, designing it,Indian Tax rules

    If i am right any site that has more traffic with so much members entering in there...The site gets some good earning which myt help cover up the tax rates..Then getting paypal linked and other things...GUYS the idea seems so awesome

    If any one of us is the administrator there we can have certain rules there in concern of the situations of mturk workers

    1)A requester has so much options a)request worker to improve his task by mailing(I have had so much mails from good requesters at mturk)

    b)He can reject a work but no blocking is allowed...that can be done only by the administrator and that too if he/she violates TOS like two account creations and other tampers with site rules and if the approval rate is so poor

    c) a requester has the previlege of sending paypal payments in any denominations from 0.50$ to 5$..So can the worker selct any amount in between this


    I DREAM OF THIS GREAT VENTURE and if its a success i would surely write a note to the Amazon and its associate mturk about the making of the site and bet on them that they are struggling without the so much dedicated indian workers working for them and their requester team

    I'm in agreement with you. Though can't comment on policies in regard to other countries, it's fair to note regardless of location, this sounds like a valid concern. I'm impressed with the level of education by many of these workers, providing their service for so little back in return.

    If long time worker's with outstanding scores for accurate work are not being paid, and receive high rejection rates with particular requesters. The bad marks should be removed to protect the worker.

    I'm sure there's a number of ways to create checks and balances that would only effect malicious requesters.

    I know that mturk doesn't and never will control the requesters nor does it care about the turkers. So I only stick to transcription hits by trusted requesters like speechink. I don't want to lose my account turking for anonymous requesters.

    As for your new website, I don't think that it will start soon because it takes a considerable amount of time and most importantly money to start a new business.

    My only advice to all indian turkers is to to stick with old trusted requesters to keep their account safe from unscruplous requesters who are looking for free work. It's better to stick with a trusted but poorly paying requester like smith than a rogue new one.

    hi munawar mohammed i am a worker and i cant verify my documents ,i got a mail from amazon saying "In order to qualify to receive a check for your earnings in Indian rupees, the address on your Mechanical Turk account must be limited to two lines of text at 35 characters or less per line, including spaces and punctuation. The two line limitation refers to the address itself and does include the lines with the name, city, state and zip codes"

    its really simple....make sure u do not exceed 35 chars. in each of the two address lines...that is as they said dont include any thing other than d address...no city,state,zip code or country or anything.Try to limit ur address to below 35 charas. and then try submitting ur proof again...evrything shud go fine...

    and is ur account recently created ??
    If so its a good news tht amazon has continued hiring workers outside U.S.

    Hi Krishna
    As per my knowledge Amazon has put a halt on new accounts outside of the United States due to some dishonest practices that were going on overseas. They also suspended many Overseas accounts.
    any way Best wishes...

    Generally, it takes around a week to two weeks time(depending on the bank) to credits the customer’s account once Mturk's City bank cheque presented to Your bank. I'm using my ICICI Bank A/c to clear the check and it takes max of 7 days to credit the money to my a/c. Mturk cheques never bounce so probably issue with your a/c. It is better to contact the authorized person of your bank or call bank customer care.

    Some bank a/c's charge fine for non sufficient balance in a/c's , ATM charges.....etc.... If bank debited your money then that may be the reason. Only bank knows the real reason why they debited your a/c so contact them directly.
