Anyway round users outside the U.S getting to be a requester?

Or is it a case of finding/paying a U.S based Warrior to request for us on their account?


Want to get a few bits automated ya see.

      What is Mturk?
      It's a service for trying to match people who require a particular service, to those who offer that same service. Or at least that is my understanding of it.

      I believe that it was instigated by Amazon, but I don't know how restricted it is in regard to international use. I don't know anyone in my circle who has tried the service, so I don't know how effective it is.

      I'd like to read some posts on this thread from Warriors who have used the service.

      Regards,
      Jeff.

        You could get a US Virtual Credit Card. There are various places online you can buy them. They are pretty expensive so ongoing use could really add up.

        You could get just one Virtual Credit Card and use that to set up a Paypal account. Amazon doesn't directly take PayPal, but once you have a US Paypal account, you can get a virtual credit card number from them for time use or re-occurring. PayPal doesn't charge you to use their virtual credit card.

        Keep in mind that doing pretty much any of the above will be breaking various different terms and conditions. PayPal can be a pain in the butt even in the best circumstances.

      Here you go, Laurence:

      http://www.hit-builder.com/faq.aspx

      Check out the seventh question: "I reside outside the US, can I post HITs on the AMT using Hit-Builder?".

      I can't vouch for them though, as I've never actually used the service.

      Regards,
      Tommy.
