Hi friends! Have you heard of Readbud? It's one of those online earning money site. You have to read articles and rate the article after reading it. Each article has its corresponding amount, depends on its length. I have been a member since August of last year, and was able to reach the minimum payout of $50 last December. When I cash it out thru paypal, it does not appear in my account until now. Just asking, is anyone here a member? Have you been paid by readbud? Please help...

I also regret wasting my time with the site. I hope nobody will be lured in joining them...

I wasted around 5 months, because I was still hopeful I will receive the money. Readbud said it will take a month to receive the money after the you request for a cash out.

"it does not appear in my account until now" ... You mean that you have been paid? (This is what that statement implies).
If you have, then you are just about the ONLY one. You may see a few 'payment proofs' around but all except one are almost certainly fakes.
Readbud does NOT pay. It steals articles from websites without crediting the author and it offers impossibly high payments for reading them. If they ever contact you (which they won't), they will tell you that you "didn't spend sufficient time" reading the articles or that your "reading speed is inconsistent".

No, I haven't receive any money from Readbud. I meant that the $50 did not appear in my paypal account.

Readbud is a scam. I started to use it in the hope to get some extra money online. When I reached the limit, I asked for payout which I havn't recieved yet and I don't think that they ever pay as several months passed already since then.

Many serious and honest people are trying to earn some money, even if it's only a little bit. Those persons really need to earn that bit and are working for it and doing their best.
It's a shame that someone is able to exploit nowadays those people who only wish and/or need an extra income. We are living a difficult time, so instead of exploiting others we should help more to those who really need it instead of playing on them.
Now, we have new experience which should help us to understand that we have to be more carefull and check up everything first, so we won't help to those who only want to exploit others.

i was a member of it but luckily i read here some people saying that this site was a lie. they dont pay you. so you are just wasting your time reading those articles. do you live in usa or in united kingdom? if you do, just message me and i will tell you about a site that is good and that they really pay. i was in that site before when it was international. sadly i cant work there anymore for now but it is still working in usa and in united kingdom so people there can use it.

It's a scam. Definitely a waste of time. 
I have thrown my hope that i'll be paid by readbud to the trash bin long ago.
If you want to know my experience with it, accept my friend request so that I could PM you the link of the review I did on readbud at wikinut. I don't really know if i am allowed to post the link here.

I am a member of Readbud but an inactive member because I discovered it is but a big, big scam. My dear, don't ever expect you'd get paid. They never pay at all. They've scammed many and too bad to know you are already one of those. If you want evidence to this then read this link http://webupon.com/web-talk/readbud-get-paid-to-read-articles-is-a-scam/

This is true! Readbud is very very big scam. They fooling people by saying earn for rate articles. Also articles they providing their members for rating is not there own. its picked up from internet. my friends also reached to payout and requested. but till not transferred to paypal. Also Readbud staff not responding to friends mail they sent.
