I did email Amazon Friday and ask them how to put the money back. I Didn't see a way to transfer the money from my bank back to the account. They didn't respond.
I asked one of the reps what we were going to do about the whole thing and he just said that Amazon was working on a fix and when they got it worked out they would let us know....that was on Saturday.

Does anyone on here use Overwatch? And if so, is it like something that alerts you when a requester you like posts something?
I use Overwatch even though I believe I've been told that it will not ever be updated because it was abandoned or something, but it works for me. I would miss out on a few batches if it weren't for Overwatch. If one requester posts too much/posts a not so great batch and the sound starts to annoy me, I'll just click that requesters name until it turns red, which turns off the notifications for that one requester.
Also, if you ever go to delete cookies or cache, Overwatch will be wiped clear, so be sure to back it up.

Thank you! I was thinking about adding it on because I constantly miss batches and I am tired of feeling like I have to be handcuffed to the computer.

Mornin' Folks :coffeeman:

I tried to take ample time this weekend away from turking to recharge, i'm in the mood where i don't want to touch a survey with a 20 foot pole.

I hope you all thats having problems with AP really did get a bank error in your favor card and they just 0 out your AP balance and thats the end of it. Although i'm slightly Jelly because i transferred over $1300 that day and mine went through fine like normal. If i had that problem and panic withdrew repetitively i could be in new car territory today hah.

Right now the plan is to nom on some breakfast and get out to the park for a walk and then come back to fight my survey demons.

I just got an email from Amazon saying that the duplicate payments would not be reversed. And I don't think they could, given that they're literally in our bank accounts.

On turkerview I used to be able to click on a specific hit from a requester and see the reviews for that hit, but now when I try to do that it just shows me a list of reviews from other hits from the same requester, not necessarily the hit I am trying to see. I'm not sure if I need to use the paid part of the service to get to do this again, does anyone know?

I had a bank do that once, and they can certainly reverse it (it was their mistake - but my problem). So, they could - legally. IDK why they don't care. :shrug:

Fair point. I know that if Amazon DID reverse all of those it would cause a minor riot though, so that's probably why they aren't. It's not viable if they really want Mturk to keep going.

I'm not sure, but I think if they did reverse them, it would cause all of the people that they reversed the payments on to have "return payment" fees on their account (which someone one would have to eat - either the bank or Amazon). It would be a bigger cluster F*** than they already have.
