You absolutely can hire the same provider for 2 different jobs

Please make sure that you have the correct job selected. If you have multiple openings, there should be a drop-down at the top of the page. Make sure you are hiring into the right job! If that still does not work, please file a help ticket.

Paypal to Payoneer

archillesvivero — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:46:00 -0700

Hi Ate Gem,

Hay sa wakas, verified na din Paypal ko using Payoneer Mastercard, thanx sa guide ate Gem. May mga questions pa din ako:

* Pwede ko na bang withdraw ung paypal funds ko using Payoneer Mastercard?

* Sa withdrawal ng funds, savings or current?

Hope you u could help, up to now ksi di ko pa din na-wiwithdraw ung funds ko, lahat ksi nasa paypal account ko. Tagal ksi ng release ng Eon Visa Card, kaya naghahanap pa din ako ng ibang alternatives to withdraw my funds. Thanx in advance.

It's sort of like poetry,

Thank you for the info.

Thank you for the info. Since there is no address to reject the offer, I'm rejecting the offer right here - no, I don't need Java web host service since I am not a Java developer. If you could offer ASP.NET 3.5 / MS SQL 2005/2008 web host service - I'd appreciate it very much.

Thank you again.

WHAAAAAAAAAAT?????

conversion

mlevinson — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 08:49:52 -0700

You cannot "unaffiliate" is you have active assignments on behalf of a provider company, and an assignment cannot be converted from independent to affiliated or vice-versa.

Why? Because the buyer needs to know if their relationship is with a company or an individual.

It is from oDesk - not a scam

Profile Enhancement

Dear Olga,

Please provide additional insight and suggestions. See my previous comment. Were you alerted to it? I'm still learning oDesk.com's fantastic tools.

Thanks, John

Welcome to oDesk!

To my mind, your profile seems to list too many very different skill, making you jack of all trades (good at none). I think it would be better to concentrate on 2-3 main skills, ideally somehow interconnected and build your profile around them, take relevant tests, put relevant items in your portfolio and apply to relevant job openings.

Regards,
Olga

Actually, I'm pretty good at all of them; I've been programming since 1965. Please list the skills you interpret me to have from looking at my profile. I'm trying to work at home through oDesk.com because I have emphysema and must use a nebulizer 3 times a day, and the interruptions to use the nebulizer would not fit into a normal work environment. Also, I sometimes have a disturbing cough, although this seems to be going away. Thanks for your next response.

Sincerely, John

baka di pa sila nag-che-check ng profile mo. have you considered using a catchy title? don't use generic cover letters to apply to jobs.

Not really. I think pareho lang. Siguro data entry I would see more women than men. But look into other field too - programming, web design - mas maraming guys ang na-ha-hire doon

that's true.. dumadami ang tao.. but odesk started out with few providers and few buyers too. more buyers sign up as more providers sign up.

just make yourself available to LUCK - kung wala ngayon, it may show up later.

Good For You!

Most probarbly its a spam

I've also got this type of invitation mail for free java hosting.

I googled a bit and found something interesting-

http://www.toastedspam.com/stupid/disptext/elabs3.com_0001

Its a smart way of scam I guess. Alternatively, it is faking odesk as sender.

Better to hear from odesk about this. Otherwise, some members may get scammed.

Thanks,

Great! I'm happy too. I'm glad buyer hired you! You're status should be "hired" in oDesk too.

Malay mo single pa si buyer hehehe.

confusing?

Well, here's my problem. I read Ate Gem's guide regarding with the paypal activation using payooneer. It's just that 'm quite confused.... coz I've already activated my payoneer account at their site and loaded some money on it.

The question is.... ok lng ba sa paypal yun kung gamitin kung pang verify ung payoneer card koh, also I forgot to mention that I also loaded some funds on my paypal account and I really need withdraw some money, tagal ksi ng process ng Eon sa Unionbank.

Also, one more thing.... magbabago din ba ung pin code pg nagverify ako sa paypal using payooner?

yup mas ok gamitin ang payoneer just to verify your paypal, then just specify your "favorite" phil bank account to withdraw funds.

i've done this: get your paypal verified using payoneer card

you'll be getting a different EXPUSE number from that of Unionbank EON card. (is this the pin # that you are talking about)

hope you tell me in return the confusing part of the write-up.. so i could make the necessary clarifications.

Hello Olga, there are no

qsusana — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:42:17 -0700

Hello Olga,

there are no silly questions at all...in fact no I didn't do it as there is no guideline on Odesk which explains the correct steps to follow in order to unlock the balance.

Now I have done it and it worked.

In any case I would suggest to Odesk to create a full steps guideline at least for newcomers...

Thank you very much for your help Olga, very appreciated!
