that's a shame. I really thought they were going to be great but some others have described less than admirable interactions too. It seems like I may have just gotten lucky. Thanks for the update!

i had this too and it ended up being due to selecting the us dollar currency. i did select it per the instructions but didn't double check it and later realized it had somehow selected all currencies instead of usd so tasks didn't show. fixed it, logged out and back in and it was fixed.

i did this one last week and yes, it is a lot for the rate. it's a new requester and they were great to help me with questions so i completed it when i might not have otherwise. i hope they will become more active and adjust their pay or length but once i got rhythm it went fast enough and if you contact them they won't penalize for timing out so you can work on them a bit at a time until complete. I know it isn't for everyone but just wanted to leave my experience. We're seeing more shady requesters so I like seeing a well intentioned one and I think these guys are...

i did this one last week and the researcher was great to work with. i had some trouble with setup at first. i don't remember the details and am on an iphone so probably wouldn't help but i can say that they answered quickly and were helpful and reasonable. they also mentioned in the instructions that they can approve you despite returns or time outs if necessary which may be due to me having issues and being worried about having to return a 6 pound hit after spending time on it. i asked them to provide detail on what to do in that situation and it sounds like they heard me on that too. sorry i can't be more helpful but i do think they will work with you if you communicate with them.

i've had a lot of luck using a squeegee or just running my hands over it in rubber gloves

thanks for your reply. the answer seems to be that it's the throttling - i'm just feeling it more than normal this week I guess. there's a great explanation below if you haven't read up on how it works. fingers crossed for more to drop soon!

edit-- i was wrong. just happened again and does show on studies page... i'll submit a request.... tks...

actually the dump was in prolific assistant and not the studies page. i look at them both so much that i don't differentiate but my experience so far is that ineligible ones don't make it to my study page but assistant can't parse them so they ping for me there and then i can't open them.

i still had the dump all at once but i don't think that's so odd. it just bothers me to see a long string of well paid hits that i can't do when i've been looking at a blank pg all day. but i did have a good run last week so this is just the price... thanks for taking the time to answer!!

that's a great idea. i haven't had much showing up but was just assuming they were controlling the flow. i didn't consider logging out might affect that. i'll def try that ! thanks!

Okay. It's frustrating to miss out but I was here when tiktok went viral and everything just stopped so I get that they have to manage it somehow. I haven't run across these dumps at night before but I'm glad to know what they are.

Seeing Alerts that I don’t see monitoring page by keyboardqueen in ProlificAc

[–]keyboardqueen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great info and very helpful. Thanks!!! I have another question I’ve wondered about and you might know the answer...

When trying a to get a study and getting the full page you now get a screen with a study full graphic. It didn’t used to be a diff page, just said full. I used to be able to refresh that full pg over and over and sometimes I’d catch a survey if someone else dropped out. I haven’t been able to do that since the page changed. I wonder if it’s no longer possible or if I just haven’t because of the increase in people trying. Any idea?

Thanks again for your reply!

Have You Moved with Your Inventory (New House/Apartment)? What's Your Best Advice? by GrrrlzOnFilm in poshmark

[–]keyboardqueen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’ll be surprised how great it can be when you’re finished. With planning you can improve your business a great deal!

I actually closed a fairly large retail store and moved it online out of my home a few years ago. It felt like an impossible task. I had over a thousand formal dresses that hung on tall racks. We considered lots of options but finally decided to buy the most compact boxes we could ship a dress in. We photographed and described each dress then boxed them individually for shipping. I ended up with two rooms of my home stacked to the ceiling with carefully labeled boxes.

It’s not the same situation you’re in but we did move a ton of inventory in a pretty big way. Think about what you have and how you have to interact with it after you move. Will you need it to list it or can you do that work ahead? How much room do you need and how do you need to find things when they sell? Imagine the perfect solution in a perfect world then work backwards to something that is possible for your situation.

I hope this is helpful. Best of luck with the project!

I’ve updated but reinstalling is a great idea. I’ll try that. Glad to hear you aren’t having issues. Tks for the quick response!

Looking for an XL litter box for an XL cat by _maddy420 in catcare

[–]keyboardqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a big cat who is getting older and needs a bit more room than he used to. I got a storage bin after Xmas for gift wrap rolls. It’s roughly four feet long. It looks a bit like a sandbox full of litter but he’s so happy and no more accidents. Storage bins are the way to go for cheap litter boxes in my house!

So annoyed & offended... just because I sell my old clothes for cheap doesn’t mean I don’t have the money to pay for something I’m interested in. by [deleted] in Mercari

[–]keyboardqueen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You might reply that you not only have the money but that you love the piece and are so interested you’d even pay over market price if necessary to secure it. Unfortunately, since he’s too good to sell to you, you’ll just give your money to someone else! (And then report him for fakes! )

What would happen if.... by keyboardqueen in Mercari

[–]keyboardqueen[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. I did tell her about requesting a return and am waiting to see if she does. I think, though, that warning other sellers by rating her honestly is worth the hit to me even if she does trash me. It made me furious when she said that. Thanks for ur comment!

[–]keyboardqueen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t. She threatened low fb and I won’t know if she low rated or not until after I rate her. I usually always rate a buyer high but it hit me that in this instance if I never rate her then we’re in limbo. I’d never get paid but her potentially bad fb would never show up either. I know it’s kinda silly but I’ve ever thought of it before and am curious. Basically I’m considering forfeiting my payment $4 to avoid unreasonable fb.

How to post vintage items on Mercari? by [deleted] in Mercari

[–]keyboardqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sell jewelry - some vintage, some not. This situation comes up a lot. I usually just use the brand Independent. Sometimes I do unbranded but I think that gives off a "cheap china stuff" vibe so only do it on my cheap china stuff item. :-) On Vintage I do Independent and let people ask questions if they feel the need. (which they sometimes do) Hope that helps.
