    Okay, Today ends my 10 day temporary "account hold" or whatever you want to call it. So, money has started showing up in my "current balance" under account settings. However, only $1.68 shows up. My total earnings is just a bit over $27.00. I am confused as to why all of my total earnings aren't showing up? Anyone have any idea?:(

    Now it's up to $2.66. I think that the requester approves the work then has to approve the payment.. Because on some of them it says pending payment and a few of them say paid. So, I think that the total earnings show up whenever the requester approves the actual payment. At least, that's how I THINK it works. Haha.

    We're just asking how the process works.

    I think nobody is quite sure as to how exactly the thing goes like...Or may be i am ignorant...But I have a strong speculation that it is paid faster when requesters have the required money funded in their account with the Amazon OR may be they are set by the requesters in batches as they set it in their preferred order

    With respect to a late reply to me on my enquiry to one of the requesters, he/she had told me that they checked to see that they have already paid me...So i must assume a second initiation of being paid process is not fuelled by the requester but by the mturk system itself in accordance with the funds available in the respective requesters balance
