Have spent the last year helping a destitute relative post their belongings on eBay. Came back to working for myself, and found Amazon kicked me out of mturk! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh well, it’s was mid while it lasted!

I am a requester and people trying to do my HITs complain that the HIT button isn't working. I don't have control of that so I am at a loss of what to do. Here is my form:

And here is an email I am getting from the worker:

The error I receive clicking the Submit button says: "There was a problem submitting this HIT

You still have this HIT accepted, and can find it by viewing your HITs Queue. You can try submitting this HIT again. If this problem persists, please report this HIT."

​

Any thoughts?

I am conducting a research in which I would equally represent female, male, and non-binary population. I am wondering how many non-binary are on MTurk? Anyone know in general? An estimate?

Just reached my hit limit for my first day doing the same batch hit over and over again for 40 cents every time. Each hit only took like 3 minutes. I had heard you shouldn't expect much of anything when you start out but I ended up with 15$. The hit was very samey the whole time I was doing it so I'm curious if it was supposed to be limited or something?

I am conducting a research study with the DAIR Institute and looking for anyone who receives Mturk payments to their Amazon gift card accounts.

This is for a paid research study, and you can remain anonymous.

I could post a study on MTurk, but by doing so, workers would get paid with more funds to their gift card balance, and I am trying this way to help them get paid in a useful manner.

Feel free to respond over the chat if you want to refrain from responding publicly; even if you don't want to
participate in the project but have some questions, I am happy to chat with you.

Edit: Whose only option is getting paid with Gift Cards*

Hello, this is my first time using mTurk. I want to create multiple HITs in MTurk using a csv file. The csv file contains a single column having links to google form surveys. I want each HIT to have a different google form from the csv.

​

I am following this blog and here it says in the fourth point :

If your project template contains variables, choose a .csv

file to upload. In Publish Batch, choose Choose File to locate the .csv
data file and then choose Upload.

But, I am getting no option after clicking on Publish Batch. I am getting directed to this page. (attaching screenshot below):

Can you please help me why is it happening?

Has anyone done hits from this requestor? Their rating is 87%. They have over 1k HITs on my board right now. I'm wary because of their rating, but it pays 0.20, so I could do a bunch in one day.

I don't know how you qualify for a reasonable hit and all I can do is surveys. It seems really dumb, I haven't made much and can only do one hit that sometimes denies payment. Is this just a waste of time, or am I overlooking something. Also most of the hits don't even work. This is worse than clickworker.

Does doing 1000 Hits changes things? I used to hear that number a lot but was wondering if that number has increased or if it really doesn't even matter that much.

Hello, I am a student requester that wanted to use MTurk to gather my sample. Like everyone else I was promoted to ask them to increase my credit limit, which I did. After a couple days I was then swiftly denied an increase making me unable to use MTurk (something I asked them to specifically confirm in an email). They also told me that they cant explain why and that I cant appeal this decision.

Can anyone help me get it published? Alternativeley what are some alternatives to MTurk that you recommend?
