    i have done hundreds with no rejects.. haven't heard of anyone else getting rejected.. but in your case I would play it safe and only do 10 or so to test the waters, especially if you have not completed them before.. have you seen the script for worst case scenario? its pretty useful especially for folks who don't have a buffer zone yet.. it will tell you what you will drop down to if you are rejected a certain amount of hits

    I'm not sure if they would try to call you or not! Have they put your payment account on hold? If not, cash out what you can. I would also email them. Yes, I know that is a pretty obvious answer, but about all I got for you. :(

    Also, some people have had to use their previous addresses to get verified. Not sure if this might be your case or not.

    I know it really sucks ass when this happens!!!

    Did anyone else try that motion in stories survey. I spent about 90 minutes on it, most of which was just trying to get the darn thing to submit. I checked to make sure I had filled in all the questions too. I even closed my Firefox browser and did the survey again in Chrome and nothing happened. After I sent an e-mail explaining that the HIT would not submit to the requester I just returned it for fear of time running out before I could find a solution.... urg, I have not been having the best week with hits. Trying not to get discouraged though. :(

    This should be a working link to the hit, but it might no longer be available https://www.mturk.com/mturk/continue?hitId=2IEQU6L5OBVCIP6OJG1IOF7IV0HYFU

    I had the exact same issue for no reason. I had not moved and no previous address was entered. Contact Amazon telling then they made an error on their end, and contact amazon payments directly via e-mail saying the same thing. I did it on a Saturday and it was cleared up by Sunday.

    Calling them didn't really help much for me. The guys on the phone don't deal with the verification issues they just send it along to the other dept. If it does turn out to be an address issue, what worked for me was using an old address that I had lived at for a long time and setting it as primary. It took a while for them to ask me to put a previous address though. Meanwhile payments for hits failed and I was locked out of my account. Do what you can to get it fixed before they suspend you. It took a couple days before I was suspended after I started getting the emails.

    I feel your pain, tried the $3.00 app creating HIT and missed the clock by 5 minutes. They still got my work but I might not get paid. On top of that the HIT I was trying to do earlier would not submit for whatever reason. I'm going to step away from turk for a while maybe when I come back it will like me better. What's that they say about the heart growing fonder?
