They will borrow to pay. This post is dead on arrival.

Until when? Do you think the states didn't borrow before they reached their limit?
People will only borrow you more when you're servicing your existing debts.

Even now you'll see several hundred files on Gotranscript just mostly with terrible audios.

webshopNG:
No. Thats just an instance a sudden jump from 100 to $1000 will raise brows. Stay below 500 daily. With 60days of opening your account and verifying it with a card/bank.

Within the paypal sandbox of 60days. Be regular with your trades.

See when they limit you ince or twice. You will learn.
Let's leave the long talks.

Learning the hard way

sammysage:
Wait on...are you guys actually saying that South Africa PayPal does not support withdrawal to card?

I created a South Africa PayPal following the link that was posted here. I have about $90 in the account and I am hearing now that I can't withdraw to my linked card.

This is not cool at all. When giving out information, we should try to give out the full and complete information.

Now I have to find a way to sell my fund to an exchanger at a low rate.

Can I even delete the account and open a new one? Lesotho?

Is it .sa or ,co.za?

dreaizy:
Everyone is either providing half info, confusing info or trying to get you to sell at low rates. Pls contact me on 09037689714, if you can help me create PayPal that will send to Nigeria and provide guidelines to avoid getting limited. I am willing to pay.

Why are you stressing yourself when the information is all over Google?

ausproxi:
Crowdsurf account available for sale

Why are you selling

nwafresh:
Read last night that naira is now 380/$ and crude oil is now $19.45. Las Las we won't be all right

Crude is still about $30 Sha.

Bonny Light is about $26 per barrel.

Jonny2wealth:
hello, please i want to apply for africard today, must it be from UBA? am using firstbank, what type should i tell them i need and which documents do i need to present?

You're on your own

crystalwox:
in addition, you need to earn up to $50 to withdraw to Payoneer, withdrawal is not auto like PayPal, you would have to chat admin with your email every time I want to withdraw to Payoneer. And you have to be ready to initiate your withdrawal few minutes after the weekly rated payments have cleared which happens every 1am on Fridays.

Now as per comparing the two platforms, these are my observations.
Similarities of both platforms
1. Both platforms pay low, GT just almost insignificantly higher.
2. Both pay on 'thursdays' slight differences based on their locations.
3. Flexibility in choosing when to work.
4. Rating system is 1 to 5
5. PayPal can be used as a firm of receiving monies earned
6. Both usually have enough calls if you are dedicated
7. Both use speaker labels, QA speaker labels are easier and constant, while GTs can be very diverse and wrong tagging can cost low ratings.
8. Both have transcription tools, most well established transcription companies do.
9. There are lenient and strict QAs or editors.
10. There are more and easier jobs in the middle of the night/early mornings.

Differences
1. GT trains you better to get external jobs, cos u would be a better transcriber. If I can consistently maintain a rating of around 4.3 to 4.6, your private clients will stick with you cos of your quality.
2. It's easier to earn on QA compared to GT, provided you master QA transcription platform properly.
3. It's easier to assimilate GT training and rules initially, but there a are a lot more to learn when you start.
4. QA deals only with calls, while GT does all kinds of transcription.
5. There is format specifications on GT, i.e full verbatim, clean verbatim, speaker change timestamps, or time interval timestamps.
6. Review of your work on QA is faster as it may take hours to even 5 days for your work to be rated on GT. Editors on GT usually run from bad files too just as transcribers.
7. GT transcription tool can be used for non-GT calls, and it's one of the easiest way to transcribe if its use is understood.
8. QA calls text are pre-transcribed by their platform, while GT does not. U can even get all the transcripts for a QA call by extracting the source file.
9. QA entry test will be like a child's play to pass for a regular GT transcriber. GT transcriber test is harder to pass.
10. You can easily earn more on GT by becoming an editor (QA) after achieving a minimum of 4.5 rating over 400 minutes of calls in a 60 day window period.

Will share more as I remember. Thanks.

Dude, how do I request a Payoneer payment from Gotranscript? The process is rather opaque and confusing

bkuranga:
check my post well. I am not saying crowdsurf accept payoneer.


when I reached gotranscript part, then payoneer will come in.

Please, do you have any idea how I can request my Gotranscript payout through payoneer?
The process is rather opaque

KNIGHTBlaed:
Finally. I don withdraw everything. This should be it with PayPal and Africard. Make I find alternatives and port

I have a friend who has said this a billion times

eazyhifii:
Lol didn't mean to scare the kids

Y'all right tho, what they really need to know is how you got the money. Nobody cares about what PayPal you're using.

But still yet keep in mind you're operating an illegal account

There's no such thing as illegal here abeg.

legalwealth:
On a serious note, it is not that illegal except one is using it for illegal stuffs.

In 2011 when my Dubai PayPal account which I was operating with USA static IP (I now use UAE static IP)
was limited, I gave them my Nigerian drivers license, they restored my account and even awarded my
account with VIP status in 2014. I could withdraw any amount at anytime to my africard i.e no minimum
amount, no one withdrawal in 24 hours etc.

Same here. They once limited my account with funds, I called and they were aware of where I was using it from and were able to resolve my issue by going through my account statement and ID which I provided.

eazyhifii:
I've been following this thread for quite a while now on all africard ish, you guys seem to be missing one particular info which is using another county's PayPal is illegal

I do not reckon PayPal ever echoing that point, they just need your actual information, as long as you do not provide fake information

Greatihex:
How is their raters? How do they rate? Are they lenient?

If you can pass their test, they expect you to maintain average rating of at least above 3.6. Try it for yourself and you'll find out

Chimezirim121:
Why should the police arrest Him?

You think a church service is more important than public health safety? Where did you leave your brain? When the western world with all their advancement are shutting down and advising social distancing

kamikaz1:
What did they tell you there?

I'm not using Africard for now. Payoneer for at least the next three weeks. You guys shouldn't be afraid to go to the bank. Just make sure to go with proof of your freelance gig, earning and payment method

legalwealth:
Next level! !!

Many would have to forfeit money to UBA on this one.

I'm not receiving through Africard, I'd have marched majestically to a UBA branch and had a chat with them.

tenderfigure:
You may be right, bro. I just got off the phone with a UBA rep. To cut the long story short, she asked about the source of my funds, and said that I may need to provide proof that I work there.

It is normal protocol to prevent or minimize fraud and money laundry. As long as you can prove you worked for the money and provide back up, you should have nothing to fear. The truth is a lot of money was and is coming in through Africard, CBN and the banks were not just going to play siddon dey look.

People begged UBA to restore the service that the funds were from legit sources, now they have restored it and are saying Come forward to prove yours is legit.

Even with your regular bank account the protocol is that your bank will want to know you the first time some figures hit your account, they may ask where the money is coming from and once they're satisfied you're cleared.

Inehmesit:
Okay, so apart from Qa, which other would you recommend? Have you tried waywithwords?

Nah, never tried waywithwords. It doesn't matter which I recommend, which can you get into.

Greatihex:
My brother, just $2.53; although, I don't work there frequently. The 2.53 is from 4 files that I have been paid for.


What is your thought about GoTranscript?
Is it easy to work there?

It's not as easy as Qa in some aspects. You can just watch YouTube videos to see how it is

Olabowa:
Corona Virus wouldn't allow most of those companies operate. One FC UK call I attempted, the REP was quarantined and was calling from home.

Greatihex:
where you come dey work nah?

Scribie pay is not motivating at all.
Although, they have calls all the time, but not all are good to work on. Truth is, I just dey work on Scribie make e no be like say person no dey do anything.
I am still waiting for QA to officially launch their new platform before I can start working.

Abeg tell me your new found work place?

How much have you been able to make there?

GoTranscript, not worked much this week, though.

MaziOkoro:
But what's their platform like? Difficulty in test and transcribing, frequency of jobs, etc.

Test requires you have read their FAQ as you will be transcribing an actual file. There are always jobs (except for COVID19 issue) but mostly low paying jobs.

Inehmesit:
Oh, that’s true, I was wondering what could be the problem, why do you say Scribie has the worst pay, is Qa the best?

Qa is not the best, but arguably the easiest to get into. You can't get into other ones as easily. Scribie is somewhat easy too and does not even require speaker labeling. If you can just take the time to read their guidelines. BUT, the pay is as low as $5 per audio hour, which honestly is really poor.

Inehmesit:
Anyone knows any other transcribing site?
This Qa is not giving me any calls, every time I check, nothing is available

Coronavirus. But you could try Scribie with the worst pay in the busimess

Greatihex:
where have you been working? Scribie?

Scribie pay is too poor. I kind of gave up on them.

TechCapon:
did you withdraw with your Africard? Did you have to go through any verification process in the bank? I'm a little bit skeptical about using my Africard yet.

I haven't been transcribing on Qaworld. So no, I didn't use Africard. I think they're just trying to prevent money laundering or fraud,

TechCapon:
how true is it that africard is now working again? Some people say they're unable to withdraw from atm

It seems UBA want to be able to verify the funding source. It should be a matter of explaining to your bank how you came about the funds

Geofavor:
Thank you. Is there a way I can recognize British calls on the queue?

They're allocated significantly more time. About 7 hours to complete a 10 minute British call while regular American calls would be about 3 hours plus

Geofavor:
Well, for starters, English is not my problem. Punctuation rules and those other rules of theirs shouldn't be a problem.

The issue I had the last time I attempted this was hearing clearly. Any tips for this?

Also, I ran out of time and the time started reading with a negative sign. What is the implication of this?

avoid British calls for a start. Google is your most important tool in the job, Google strange terms, words, phrases, acronyms, etc. Since we didn't grow up in those countries it is natural that it takes slightly more effort to pick up some things.
As for punctuation and sentence structure, those raters can make you question your education.
