PayPal

One of the things that homebased workers need to take into consideration is payment method. Although there are about a thousand of acceptable and convenient payment methods, I think using PayPal is the most popular.

Years ago, I thought PayPal was only used for paying for stuff bought online like Ebay transactions. PayPal has expanded its services and markets and a lot of transactions can be made through PayPal. I would like to recommend telecommuters to have a PayPal account. It's easy and convenient to use.

I'm sure some Filipinos are skeptical to use PayPal. They probably think it would be hard to withdraw funds or fees are big. The fees are reasonable, just make sure you do not make a mistake in adding your bank account information.

For transactions of at least P7,000, there is no fee or charge. For transactions below this amount, a P50 fee will be charged to your account. This is not bad at all. If you make a mistake in entering your bank information and then try to withdraw, you will be charged P250 when you try to withdraw.

My Aunt has been using PayPal for quite some time now. She recommends using Union Bank's Eon card. It's a debit card that can be used to link your PayPal account to. There is an annual fee for the use of the card which is P350. This means you can link your account to this debit card instead of linking it to your savings account or having to open a savings account. Not bad at all. For more information on how to use the Union Bank Eon card visit the guide to using your UnionBank account to withdraw funds from your PayPal account.

If you have an existing account but you do not know your bank code, visit this page where I found mine. Visit Pinoy Money Talk's complete list of PayPal bank codes.

Academic Writing and Research

Academia-Research is a freelance writing service company that is dedicated to professional research and writing. They support customers in academia who require customer-specific essays and other written documents. All work is prepared according to generally accepted editorial and style standards used in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.

Academia-Research was recommended to me by a relative who heard about this through a friend. I checked the site, submitted the form and got a response in less than a week. I had to pass a sample research/essay project. It took a while for them to give me an answer. I passed the screening process after waiting a while. Upon logging into their system, I was overwhelmed by the topics that required research. I used to write for Accurate Essays and I can say my assignments were easier there.

The system of Academia-Research kept sending me jobs that I did not request for. The first time I got a job order, I finished that night. When I logged back in to submit my work, there was no option for me to send it back. I had to call customer support about this. It turned out the job was not mine, their system sent it to me by mistake. Sheesh! After losing hours of sleep over that esssay, they tell me I was not supposed to get it.

Days later, I kept getting job orders that were not mine. I had the option to put my profile on hold so I would not have to do any jobs till I become active again. Nevertheless I still kept getting job orders after the tweak. I decided to cancel my profile so I would not get anymore orders.

The nature of this job requires a lot of research and resources. Those interested may visit Academia-Research, follow the instructions for application.

Good luck.
