the admin said " **Before you can receive payments, you must validate your PayPal account and address by sending a refundable $1 payment to us using the option 1 button below, OR use the alternate non-refundable $2 option and we will give you 50 Trek searches upon validation. Make sure you have a VERIFIED PayPal account with a CONFIRMED address before proceeding. Please allow up to 24 hours for us to validate your account, and add your searches if you have selected option 2. what it mean? should i do it? thanks

Having a verified Paypal account with a confirmed address is free and is done through Paypal. Having to pay either way you describe is not good...

That's what I thought. It should have nothing to do with Trekpay. I verified my paypal account the same way so I hope Trekpay don't ask me to do it again.

I am a trekpay member form it's conception. I have received two payouts so far. But I didn't encountered such a situation what you have explained. I don't know what is the reason for this.

I never validated my account with trekpay, but I know that they have been doing this for a long time now, and they really refund the one dollar that they take. I think it's just a way to verify the accounts that members uses in their site. I say go for it, cause I know trekpay is really a legit site, I have been paid over 50usd already from them.

I havent experienced it so far, thankfully we have a good relationship with Trekpay. I received my cashout regularly. Make sure if Trek is really the one saying those things because some sites are just using trek to get money from it.

Is this your first time to cash out? I am not familiar with those instructions, but I am nearing my second payout, I hope I can do it with ease.

This is the first time I read about this. I didn't have any problem cashing out at TrekPay. And my PayPal account is unverified as I don't have a credit card that PayPal supports. And I couldn't find anything like this on the site nor I have received such an email from TrekPay.

If you want to receive your payment, i think you should follow trekpay policies... I suggest you to follow option 1... But it's strange now on trekpay... Their payrates are getting lower now... They only give me 8 cents for 50 credits... Wasting time i guess...

I never had that happen to me, but I know of others that had to pay a $1, but they got it refunded to them once the verification process is complete. They are very much legit, and once you do what they ask, it will be refunded back to you. I wouldn't worry as they do pay. I have been paid by trekpay several times, and do to get it again this week, hopefully. I like trekpay as it is my best site next to mylot of course. I have been with them since the beginning and have never had any problems with them at all. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Interesting. I used to be a member of that site but never went back there. So it really pays? I haven't reached cashout yet, but I might want to consider being active again.
