Survey Black List

[ez come ez go]

Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum and fairly new to the survey game. I was just wondering about these black lists: if the site charges you for membership, are the surveys higher paying? or do you get more survey invites? whats the deal with these pay sites?

No, I've found that those sites that charge you money for membership have exactly the same list of surveys sites that you will find at other survey sites for free. The problem is that you don't know that until you've already paid them. Heath

InboxDollars/SendEarnings, owned by Cotter Enterprises (the same owners of Greenfield Online), are trial offer sites that only send a few surveys for 50 cents each. They charge you a $3 "processing fee" when you reach $30 and try to cash out, which is deducted from your earnings. After you reach $30 the second time they give you the option of cashing out and paying the $3 processing fee or continue earning until you reach $40 and then they waive the fee; however, if you do not reach $40 within seven days from the first time you attempt to cash out they still charge you $3. On the third and subsequent times you cash out they also give you the option of waiving the $3 fee and if you aren't able to cash out within seven more days they give you the $3 fee back towards your earnings, hoping that you will stay with them. Many times I have been tempted to sign up for trial offers to try and reach $30 sooner and, occasionally, I have not cancelled the offer in time and had to call my bank and had the charges removed. Sometimes, the trial offer is an outright scam, like the Acai Berry scam of 2008.
