08/28 - Out of Order Wednesday

I needed my one batch to make sure I paid a bill due on the 3rd...

 

Praying everyone has a successful time of turking!! So glad it's back up... Woohoo. Tomorrow's Thursday which means have to get caught back up...

 

who else did you want to contact?

 

I got the same message, I hope this is something they sort out.

 

I don't know. Do I need to contact anyone else? I'm just in panic mode right now lol. I did the contact through mTurk as well. So I probably covered all of my bases.

 

monday is a federal holiday. no one will get any money deposited in their bank account. and mturk will probably be slow as molasses because so many other people won't be at work/posting hits on monday, and it's been so slow even on busy days. so we have to do all the turking we need for between now and next tuesday, tonight and tomorrow and the next day.

I need a pepperoni pizza delivered really bad but now I can't afford it :cries:

 

I haven't had this happen. but it seems like you contacted everyone. I hope they fix yours soon! I guess to be proactive you could fax them your verifying stuff. I forget what it is, like your driver's license front and back and something else iirc.

 

Turkopticon has been the most helpful. They say to fill out this form.

amazon payments verification fax number 1-206-569-1407

stuff to fax -

1. driver’s license or an equivalent government issued Identification Document (ID)
2. write your first and last name at the top of the page
3. write the email address associated with your mturk account

-----------------------

@YarnAndCats they might or might not ask you to fax these. this way it would be already done.

 

I actually do pretty good on holidays. Kids don't have classes and don't live in the town they're from and a lot of turkers are busy partying or something rather than turking.

 

I feel a little overwhelmed about trying to catch up after not turking for 27+ hours tbh. getting started now.

 

I've been on for about 10 years so I kinda feel like they are doing suspensions in batches from longest turkers to newest. I mean, I haven't seen any people that started during the pandemic get the suspension... just my thoughts though, no clue.

 

7 years for me. Payments suspended, then restored during outage, now suspended again.

 

How the heck am i suspended???!!!

 

My account is about 5 years old so I don't think it's based on account age. I know plenty of people who have had accounts longer than me who aren't suspended.

 

15 pages. Thanks @AlexZ for not holding us hostage for 20.

 

Now if only all these accounts got fixed too. Actually makes me sad seeing so many folks having their accounts dicked down like this for no reason. What a dumpster fire of a platform: days-long outages, random account suspensions en masse, and when it actually works it's lagging like it's on a dial-up.

 

In the middle of the chaos, someone came on to the forum last night with:
