I haven't noticed any change. They show assigned>submitted>payment page (pending)>payment page (paid). I don't recall them ever showing on the payment page until approved and all of my approved shops are there whether pending payment or paid. Is there a specific MSC that is a problem for you?@BarefootBliss wrote:
Has anyone else noticed that they've changed the display of info on the payment page?
For years, once a shop was approved, it was shown approved and pending payment.
Since the beginning of 2025, I only get email approvals that they're approved - they are not showing up on the payment page.
Gotta guard those emails - since I view this as a negative.
Also...question out of pure curiosity.
To me, it's always been a novelty that the more shops you do, they move you up in status and also issue badges.D
Do these seem to make a difference at all in any way? I've never noticed any differences.
Also, that list of local winners?
Have you been one ? lol.

My first name and first initial of my last name along with my town have been posted more than once, which I do not like at all. Very small town, could easily be outed. Why on earth does ISS think naming shoppers is a good idea?

I have no idea. But i did have a really good conversation with a new to me scheduler. She was perceptive enough to realize a shopper was skimming the cream shops.
This sounds as simple as setting a limit on the number of shops one can claim or a rotation. I don't know whether it was a scheduler giving the whole list to one shopper without posting or a shopper checking for posts often enough to be looking when they are listed and grabbing all they could get. But, the shopper isn't at fault for taking work they wanted/needed when it was available to them.@wrosie wrote:
If one shopper does all 25 shops in a 5 mile radius, every month, is the client actually getting objective reports from the MSC?
The client actually stopped the shops for 2-3 months. When they resumed, that's when the scheduler let me know it would no longer be happening.

It's a TERRIBLE idea. It is a well used motivational tool for, say, gaming sites. But when it's a business that relies on anonymity, they are doing their shoppers a disservice.

Bayshopper, after you submit your first shop try to accept another if you're interested.
Excellent! Because, I understand that some live in big cities and/or have a common name. But, not everyone does and this "leader board" is a potential liability for them.@ShopperGirly wrote:
I just noticed on their Notification Settings Section there is an option to Not Participate in the leaderboard.

Thank you for digging that up, @ShopperGirly!

I’ve had 4 on my board and had to have a scheduler add the additional shop.
If I have 4 and submit 1, I can grab the 4th.

Exactly what I was trying to tell you to do.
