it varied. The Web Search Evaluator work they offer if it's like how Leapforce ran them were 6 month renewals while with Lionbridge you were kicked off after 11 months..Ive tried to qualify for java no such luck. The guidelines are very misleading and some questions catch you out as no information for the questions.
I tried to do fletcher but glad I haven't wasted any more of my time since reading the reviews here.
On average how long does a project last for?
I did truckee project for 9 months. I think since Appen took over they seem to be mixing it up a bit. Lots of new and obscure projects coming up it seems.Ive tried to qualify for java no such luck.

You can link your PayPal Account with Payoneer so you get your funds that way so when you get paid via Payoneer they pay you the amount into your registered PayPal Account. I got paid that way when I did the 5 USD Appen Survey and received £3.75 into my PayPal Account from Payoneer.I do little bits of work for Appen here and there, recently did one where I had to say 800 phrases (very dull!).
However I have a question for you all about using Apple and being paid via Payoneer. Appen say that Payoneer is their preferred payment method and some of their tasks only accept this method of payment.
They say the Payoneer fees are low HOWEVER every time an Appen payment goes in I’m charged a ‘load fee’ of $3. Recently I earned $5 for a survey, but then I lost $3 of that when it went into Payoneer (basically like paying a 60% fee!). Another time I earned $8 and then lost $3 of this.
I queried it with Payoneer and they said that this load fee is set by Appen.
Has anyone else found a way around this? Otherwise it means that it’s just not worth my time working with Appen.
Thanks,
Laura

What with the comments on this thread and all the faffing about with them and the fact that I've been registered for almost a year and got nowhere - I closed my account with them yesterday and am trying my luck with Lionbridge.I got an email from Appen saying that they are wanting to recruit over 65's to do the 900 voice recordings. They've upped the payment to $100 which is more appropriate given the work involved but seems a bit unfair to those who spent 8 hours on the same task and only received $48.
Yes that is right no load fees at all.@Blackpepper1 So it looks like there are no fees/load fees then when it’s linked directly to PayPal? Might try that.
@snowwhyte I saw that too, I would have much preferred $100 to $48, given that it took me so long to do the task!
yeah had the same email this morningJust had an email invite from 'Randy' at Appen for a one off 1 hour project to 'train robots to speak to humans', with a 4 hour project after.
Anyone else had this? the grammar isn't quite correct (which always makes me more suspicious but could simply be down to language differences) and I have to click on a link (which I try NEVER to do in emails) to sign up.
Hovering over the link it does seem to be appen based though.
Another strange thing is that he said that he saw my profile on smartrecruiters.com - never heard of them and never joined them??????????????????????
Just tried now. I signed in and then it said I couldn't be a web search evaluator and logged me out lolSo, it looks legit then @Jon? Have you clicked on the link at all to see if it gives prices etc? thanks
it mentioned the smartrecruiters as wellHow weird @Jon. I googled his name and it does link to Appen. No idea what the 'smartrecruiters' bit is about though in my email. Did your email mention that too or were you just approached as being with Appen?
I haven't done any recent work with them but I AM on their books still, I think!
