I wanted to create a HIT for Amazon Mturk, but the Fees are just rediculous!

How is that even possible ?

      I'm confused, so it was $30 for 600 hits?

      I get confused when people put the full stop in then put lots of zero's underneath.

      $30 is $30

      $30.000 could be $30 or $30,000, which would be a touch expensive

    I copied that directly from MTurk :

    The details were: 5 cents per task and 600 tasks. Would have been 30 $ total. But they are asking for 30 THOUSAND $ ^^ I don't know if this is a Bug or not...

      I see, well it's not right either way.
