I agree with the other posters about this issue.

I don't apply for fixed jobs or for buyers without verified payment methods. That's just me.

I would like to able to weed them out during searches. A check box would work fine for me.

Thank you for listening.

Jacqui I think that's a great idea. I think it's unfair for the providers to have to remember to look at that 'payment method verified' box .... it would be nice to know they already are! Doreen

Searching jobs

I would also like to be able to search jobs by payment verification. If it's there, I haven't found it yet.

Great suggestion, I'll pass

I noticed that when I do a search, jobs will come up in my results and have the "Apply" button available even though I've already applied to it.

This may not be a problem for someone that only does a few applications at a time, but for those of us that actually use up our 20 applications may need a button stating "Pending" or "Applied" or even better just don't show those listings.

Just a suggestion.
