    It started 24 hours and 21 email messages ago.

    First, when I was an hour into writing the $21 article, I asked about the parameters for the word count. The HIT stated 1500.

    The Requester responded after the 5-hour timer timed out, and an hour or so after I sent a second message. He offered to pay me through Amazon Payments or PayPal.

    I declined the offer, and asked for a HIT specifically for compensating me. Again, I asked for the word count parameters.

    He finally told me that the word count had to be 1500-1600, and said he would set up a "qualification" for me. He asked for my Worker ID.

    I gave him my Worker ID.

    He said he set up a "compensation HIT" for $1, and would pay the remaining as a bonus.

    I informed him that I found and submitted the Request for Qualification.

    He responded that he did not see my request, and asked me to use the compensation HIT he put up.

    I submitted screenshots of the results of my attempting to accept the Qualification and Compensation HIT that had my Worker ID in its title. I was not able to proceed.

    He said he would remove the qualification.

    I asked how to submit my work.

    He said he reposted a new HIT.

    I informed him that I could not find it by searching for TurkTeam, even 20 minutes receiving his message.

    He told me, "This should be the correct HIT. I don't know why the last one didn't work."

    55 minutes after I received his message that he reposted the HIT, I told him again that I could not find the HIT.

    He said he changed the HIT, and gave me the link.

    I submitted my work, and told him that I understood that he would pay me as a "bonus".

    He said he couldn't use my work because "...this isn't really an article..."

    I listed the specifications that he gave in the HIT, as evidence that I met the criteria.

    He responded, "...You can hardly call this an article..."

    I submitted an article. I completed 578 HITs with over a 99% acceptance rate. What recourse might I have?
