Mystery Shopper Services banned me after requesting a reschedule on two shops. I gave them a two week notice ahead of the shops. Is this a bit unfair?
I was banned from a certain client when I gave 2 weeks notice on rescheduling an easy to fill shop. Is this a common or acceptable practice?
I was by Customer 1st after working for them for 5 years.
I was recently told that I do not have to claim income on any shops for a company if it does not exceed 600.00. I was also informed that the reimbursement for items purchased in the shop does not need to be considered income either. Can you help?

I would not invest any funds as the shops are non existent at this time.
Michael_15863535086206 @ Apr 8, 2020 1:56:51 PMMy name is Mike and I am new to the forum and would like some advice on how to get some better paying jobs? Any advice would be helpful? I look forward to hearing from each of you who would like to offer me some advice? Thanks in advance for all your help?
I have been doing this for 5 years and making big money is very hard to do. I use the quantity system to earn money. That does not mean there aren't big money jobs out there. I simply don't see any in
my area.
Tara_NJ @ Dec 13, 2018 2:00:32 AMI have a quick update; I just completed another three shops for them this week and had no problems whatsoever, even had quick responses via email. They are back to normal in my book, I hope everything works out for you guys too!
So did you receive the 130.00 or was it ultimately your fault?

OK well, first of all, you were told wrong. The $600 amount is before you will be issued a 1099 form which is a statement of income. But the IRS says that any money that you earn you will have to declare for income taxes You will have to pay the entire part for Social Security not only the part that you would normally pay but also the part that your employer would pay since you are working as an Independent Contractor. That will be 15% of what you make. The reimbursements are not taxed because they are paying you back for what you spent to do the shop. On a side note, you will have to keep really good records about what you spent because some times the companies will not separate the fee from the reimbursements they just lump them together.
Oh yeah if you question that go see a CPA you can write that off next year as a business expense.
Thanks, I have always reported all payment in the past plus repayment for purchases. I have all my receipts. I was actually told that by a company I work for. They told me they do not report clients that earn less than 600.00.
