    Hi everyone,

    I am working in mturk for more than a month now, and was so frustrated when I found out that we cant withdraw our money from amazon expect for Us and Indian workers.
    and more than that I found that I cant even purchase using my balance because there is no shipping to my country, even the digital products have restrictions to my country :(

    so I figured out a way to solve this problem legally.
    because its not fair to lose the money for this stupid racism from amazon.

    Here is what we are going to do:

    Amazon allows you to buy products and send them to other addresses right ? , so we are going to use our account balance to buy products for others with a price lower than the actual price including shipping fees, and they pay us through paypal after they get their product.

    So tell me do you like my idea or do you have other ideas ?

    Hey, that sounds good, but it's kinda risky for you and the person you want to deal with, unless you deal with someone you know..

    yeah its kinda risky but there is nothing else we can do,
    for less risk maybe we will do this through a third person or we think of something else

    ..or to contact 3rd party seller who is willing to accept "fake" order and pay us via paypal :)

    That's some sure shot way to lose money.

    You can get amazon gift certificate and try selling it on ebay.

    I have no idea about the legalities involved. Better check with your local regulations before embarking on such risky endeavors.

    If there was a way for you to get a prepaid credit card that is US based
    you could get amazon to deposit the money to that card
    Then use that card to transfer money to paypal
    then paypal yourself some money or do a withdrawal from an ATM
     
  9. i Presume thats the best way to do it

    But is it possible to link the US card with the account registered in some other country? IS it legal in Mturk?

    hey everyone,

    the only choice I have in my mturk account is to transfer the money to gift card balance , so there is no bank account , no gift card , no credit cards or any other options but to buy products which I cant do and if I could it will be very expensive.
