I quite like this sight although it is often quiet i like to keep it running in the background, as you say you never know what other things you could get invited to by staying a member. I am only on 48 points since joining 4 months ago, but i may pay it more attention now, thanks for the info.

You get paid in Euros so depending on how you want to be paid you might have to pay a conversion fee. It takes about 4 weeks to receive your money. I received £14.59 in GBP into my paypal account which was converted from 17.50 Euros. If the Euro has gone down it will be less.

Thank you for the info Lissa.....the same deal as Consumer Opinion then, they convert from Euros directly into your bank account....they recently did a poll amongst their panelists to discover if anyone had bank fees to pay, and when I said I was charged a bank fee for an international conversion (a percentage of the amount I should have got was taken off my payment directly before I received it, by the bank) they asked me to send proof by way of a bank statement with the relevant transaction highlighted and the sensitive info blacked out, so I did this and was awarded 5 Euros for telling them about this to make up for what the bank took off!

They were so helpful. Do you know them? They are a really good panel to join....a German site....but you do need to give them your IBAN and BIC number so they can pay you straight into your bank account.

If you have no problem with that, they are really good to join, reliable, and you get regular really valuable surveys up to 10 Euros a time...and 10 Euros is the minimum redemption figure...I have had about 5 payments from them over the last few years and would highly recommend them.

It is good that Opinion People pay you into your paypal account....does paypal charge you a conversion fee do you know?

Thanks Lizzie.I'm still in with them and just taking whatevr comes along but had no invite to join thethinkingshed.Sounds like a good little earner.

No worries, John....the invitation to join thethinkingshed actually came in a survey...so I think if you were not invited to the survey, you would not have had an invitation to thethinkingshed...isn't that an incredible name, though???
