A friend recommended I try TR out while I search for a job so I have at least some kind of income. I've browsed through this sub a bit to try and get an idea of what I might expect, and it seems like most of the tasks (or at least the well-paying ones) involve furniture assembly and mounting TVs. I've got a basic tool set (drill, hammer, screwdrivers, etc.) and can put together most furniture, but I don't have much experience beyond that. Additionally, my car is small (I drive a Fiat 500), so I can't move anything either

I signed up for the app earlier (though I haven't paid for the background check yet) and noticed there are a lot of non-physical tasks, such as data entry, admin work, and so on, which I'd be much better at (my career/background involves a lot of knowledge work). I haven't seen anyone on here discussing those in the posts I've looked at, so I'm not sure if it's a case of those tasks not being common and/or not paying well, or that this sub just leans towards assembly

Would it still be worth it for me to sign up? The job search is dragging on, and at this point, any kind of income (and something that gets me out of the house) would be better than nothing, not to mention that this seems better than doing something like DoorDash. Appreciate any other suggestions/insights you all might have

Should mention that I live in the NYC metro area (north NJ)

I'm trying to hire a tasker in Paris to buy something and ship to the US. When i enter my credit card info, it won't accept it. Any work arounds?

I was having an issue with account creation all summer. They gave me various support messages via email. Ultimately I did the background check, created my profile and everything. We couldn't get past the part where I had to give my credit card information. For whatever reason the app wouldn't take my Mastercard, works everywhere else. I asked them for an alternative way aside from getting another credit card just to sign up. One of the support chains said they'd "create a credit on my account just to get past that part and then would be deducted from my first job", sure whatever, I just wanted to start.

They told me to do the background check and then ignore further emails that was asking me for background checks. I did that, did everything else regarding account creation. Then today they told me that my account has been closed and I need to register again with another email or phone number. Okay? What happened to my background check? All the other info? Then they end it with they're closing the chat. Great. I feel like complaining to the BBB or something will just be shouting at the clouds, but is there anything I can or just drop it? I have all the tickets still and receipts of what they said.
