Please help us make Online Book Club even better! Please post suggestions, feedback and ideas for new features. Wild brainstorming and potentially 'crazy ideas' are super-strongly encouraged! :)

For new members (or old members who run into an issue), please make a post in this forum asking any questions you have about using the site and how it works that are not answered in the FAQ. Not only are we happy help you, but also we can use your feedback to make the site better for tomorrow's new member! A lot of the instructions throughout the site and answers in the FAQ are there because someone else pointed out that it wasn't clear before.

Once you've accrued $100+ in pending payments, send me a message so that I can find a PayPal alternative that works in your country. Here is the link to the page you can use to contact me:

Latest Review: The Altitude Journals by David J Mauro

Post by Kellc »

Hi Gali, I received your PM on this issue. I was wondering if it would be possible to use Western Union as it seems most efficient and less costly, unlike exchanging bitcoins for fiat. Furthermore the process is tedious. Amazon too has restrictions on the use of their gift cards and typically forces us members to spend our earnings there. Waiting for the earnings to reach $100 seems far better than the other options mentioned. Also I think a great improvement to the site would be adding a section in the preferences for each of the other options of payment.

I am sorry, you can't use Western Union. The only payment methods are those listed on the FAQ.

I cannot find ant alternatives listed in the FAQs. I only see a response that PayPal is the primary method. Please direct me to where this listing is in FAQs. Thanks

It should have been under "How I will be paid".

Right now Paypal is the only option. Please refer to the FAQ for details and updates.

I am locking the thread.
