    Sometimes there were times when batches do not submit for me and I kept returning it and not doing it thinking it's broken. This King batch above had that issue for me yet again. Instead of returning it I decided to figure it out. I disabled Tampermonkey and that worked! :headslap:

    PSA - If you are an MTurk Worker, it is advisable to not attempt to create a requester account to post HITs as well with your worker ID. Some of us used to do this for fun HITs for our MTurk Worker friends here and other places. However, this has apparently created issues with my MTurk and Amazon Payments account somewhere in their databases. And they do not know how to fix it.

    I've spent countless hours on the phone with Payments, emailed the verification department 10 times, emailed MTurk, gotten up to level 3 support. Still no resolution. Haven't been able to use MTurk or Amazon Payments for 11 days due to Payments suddenly wanting to verify me as a Business. MTurk points to the payments onboarding link, but payments points me to businessonboarding link. Won't go into more detail because it is confusing.

    So, safest bet is to not try and do HITs and post work with the same worker ID. Hope that none of you are having similar issues.

    That sucks. Can you remove/close your requester account? Hope someone will figure it out and get you back on soon.

    I've tried just about everything. Haven't logged in as a requester for years but the API team seems to think this is part of the issue. Still hoping for a resolution but at this point I do not have much faith that Amazon can even figure out how to close the requester account, even if that would solve the issue.

    MTurk says to complete registration of my payments account before I can accept a HIT or transfer money. I click continue and it takes me to a payments error page if I am logged in "onboarding link". Go to payments and log in, shows they are verifying my identity and will be done in 24 hours. That was 11 days ago it started. In account setting it asks me to verify tax info. I click that and it takes me to the businessonboarding link. First page is business info that are required fields. I cannot even get to the page to verify contact info without entering legal business info and address.

    It all started they emailed me wanting to verify email to complete account registration, then came an email to verify my identity as a business and they were asking for my business EID etc. Of course I cannot do that because I do not own a business. So my account is on hold until it is verified.

    I have been doing MTurk everyday and making withdrawals to payments everyday without issues for years. Made a withdrawal the day before and it went through. Never as a business. Never requested to have my account changed to business. And when I call Payments they say it does not list my account as a business account. Doesn't make sense at all.

    I almost threw this one back because it is very similar to one posted yesterday but is in fact different when you get to the end.

    This is scary. I created a requester account few years ago just to see what it looks like. Never created a HIT. Hope this doesn't happen to me as well. I'm not logging in or touching it.

    In 2013 I had issues with the business account that I had set up for selling on Amazon but never used it. It kept some of the money as disposable income or another word for it I can't remember for the seller account. They wouldn't let me have access to it. I had them delete/close my business account and that was resolved. Nothing makes sense over there. Just needs that one person that knows how to figure it out hopefully.

    I also had the same kind of issue you described as the business and dispursable balance around 2013. They were also able to close the business account then and I haven't seen the dispursable balance since. However, when this all started 11 days ago the dispursable balance magically appeared again on my payments account. But they said this is unrelated to what happened before.

    Don't want to scare anyone, just wanted to relay the info that payments told me that it may be related to requester acccount (was from the API team). Do not have 100 percent certainty on that though. That is why I have been calling daily. As annoying as I may seem to them I keep holding out hope I'll encounter someone that is able to fix it.

    Simple. But a whole ton of clicking. Is this a batch? No mention of a limit and the next set of fonts are different

    Anywhere from 25-4000. Really depends on batches.
