I guess the Poll Votes says till now PAYPAL is the best and Clixsense is now may be rethinking to consider to do business with Paypal, which was suggested that its impossible by many clixsense members.

That is why there is an Opinion Polls official out there!!

If that happens everyone will be happy. wait and see

I am definitely sure if there is a Poll from clixsense...there might be possibility that Paypal will be back again...else it would not have been there in the option. So Hope for the best..Just want to get rid of the extra charges

The odds of PayPal being back are slim, they even said it is NOT an option currently, in my OPINION the only chances of getting PayPal back would be a name change to the site. I think there is more to the story behind CS and PayPal than we know because other GPTs still use PayPal, all they had to do was remove the PTC offer walls and PTC elements. I am a member of a GPT that is open since 2002, and they still use PayPal, they removed ALL PTC and ALL PTC offer walls from their site though.

In my opinion what really hurt CS is the 8 level affiliate program which was perceived an MLM / Pyramid scheme by many, and of course PTC element + disgruntled cheaters who were banned, etc, this is my opinion though and I am confident about it personally.

My predictions are, we will only see PayPal here if site change its name (or gets acquired)

Earnings have become very low here, I now cash out every month, it's the best option to save on fees, and Payoneer is so far the closest alternative to PayPal. I hope Payoneer sticks around for a long time, and I hope that in the future PayPal will come back, though I would not count on it happening anytime soon under the current business name.

Name change would be good offersense sounds good.

There are also tasks here so it would have to be more general, maybe EarnSense OR something more catchy, clever. The big question mark is, what happens now that Appen acquired Figure Eight, are they going to continue supporting F8's platform for work on external channels or are they going to consolidate F8's crowd with theirs and work from one common portal.......if they won't, then CS will be exclusively a Survey/Offer GPT. Though I am very worried on the future of this industry, even other owners I discussed with agree and said that the survey rewards industry is declining rapidly due to less advertisers compared to before - it appears more and more advertisers / publishers for offers and surveys are moving away from "cash surveys" due to data quality, and deciding to push their surveys in platforms without cash incentives, or reaching out to consumers in a different way, where there is no incentive for cash. The same happened with tasks when many authors left and use their own on premise crowd, AI or other platforms due to tainted data. Which leaves only fewer publishers than before. Many of us here are seeing the decline of income, decline of quality of surveys and tasks - removal of routers, reduction of pay, etc. GPT is dying - In the glory years, the amount of tasks and surveys kept up with the demand, now you see a decline of publishers but a steep increase in demand, that's going to be a problem IMO. I am thankful that I was able to join CS in its glory years. Market research is a billion $ industry, that will never stop, phone surveys and online surveys are on the rise, it's just less "cash incentive" surveys - crowd sourced surveys generate unreliable data, much like crowd tasking, whenever there is an incentive for cash, you need to scrub your data, and unfortunately that is a time consuming process and requires resources and $$$.

The only ways to earn online that will be left eventually are ponzi schemes, HYIP,, the crappy btc faucets at micro pennies a day type, and online scams, that industry will grow rapidly.
