I recently joined microjob, I have had my doubts but am really starting to wonder now.
I wrote an article for them, and was credited a very nice sum. I tried to collect to my PayPal and unable. Each time I attempt, it logs me out and says I have no access to the site and to login.
I wrote the Admin, and they are saying they have a glitch. If I wanted to withdraw, I needed to reply back with my PayPal address and funds would be immediately deposited.
One thing that struck me a odd, .. there is no where in the profile or settings area to enter payment processor information.
Does this sound right to you? ... should I give them my PayPal address?
Is anyone else a member and what has your experience been so far with microjob.co

Letting them know your Paypal email address is not a problem and is quite secure. What you don't want to do is let anyone know your password and it is best to change your password frequently.
Anyone can pay money into your account but you need the password to get money out!
I confirmed my Paypal account using my bank account - not my credit card. Ok, that was ten years ago so maybe the rules are changed now.
Paypal is really great. Don't know about Microjob.

I did some microjobs in the past months but I don't go there as often as before. Anyway, I enjoyed doing some rewrites there and was being paid for all the task I have done. However, since I haven't reached the cash-out bracket yet, I couldn't withdraw my earnings yet- not just yet. I don't go there as often as before that's why my earning hasn't increased still. It's just that I got hook to blogging and familiarizing the in's and out's on driving traffic to my blog.
With regard to paypal... I do have an account but I couldn't activate it yet as I don't have any credit card. I just don't want to own one. A certified freelancer friend suggested that I link my paypal to my oDesk card but I haven't tried it yet. So as of now neither do I know how paypal really works nor have experienced being automatically logged out when trying to withdraw my earning in that micro job site.

I wrote the Admin of microjob and asked when the payment processing system was anticipated to be back up... will be interesting to see what the reply is.
I just don't know if I should give them my PayPal address for direct and "immediate" deposit into my PayPal account or not.....
