Pros

Cons

I should have listened to other reviews on TO stating this req will eventually reject your work. I definitely did everything correctly and have done many previous hits of these. Additionally, this is referral spam (or search manipulation), which is a policy violation of both MTurk & Amazon's selling/referral platform

I am fairly certain this is a questionable practice on part of requester, gaming the Amazon algo to rank high in their searches. If you examine the product links you're clicking, you'll see its a specific search term with a referral code. I'm betting that by adding these products to your cart, you are helping this individual rank highly for the specified search term. In other words, you're helping them cheat the system. As such, you should be aware that this person probably doesn't care much about ethical practices in relation to the work you are doing for them.

If this wasn't such a trick by a spammy marketer type, then they could simply link directly to the product instead of a keyword search. Likewise, there is no reason to have the same people checking the same products daily. "Checking tax" is simply a fake cover for what they are really doing here.

Pros

After you get the hang of the workflow, these are relatively easy to complete.

As an addendum, while the HIT pay might be average, this Requester goes beyond excellent and way above the call of duty on Communication with Workers. There's been a couple of HITs that were rejected by the Requester's auto filtering system due to URL issues (and at least one that was due to me copying and pasting the wrong data) and anytime I've emailed him he always, without fail, overturns those rejections quickly. He even assigned me a bonus in the past for offering some suggestions on UI design changes for his HITs in an email!

Cons

None.

Advice to Requester

Please keep doing what you're doing as far as communication. Other Requesters on this platform would do well to look at how you handle communicating with the Workers here as an example of how to do it properly!

Pros

Approvals almost instantly.

Cons

Multiple listings, as each is a different product. You can only do 1 for each product a day.
They take time, multiple steps. Amazon is used (as you have to add things to your cart, review them (to get to the total price, any discounts and tax area)), at least the cart is.
They take time to do because of the steps/pages. Could be worth more - about $0.25-0.30 each would be much better, as I'm sure you may be able to speed up once you get into the groove - even if you can only do one. If not, I think a $0.40 would be a great price point for these.
