Not to start a fight here or defend them for not paying you, but sounds like maybe you know the reason for being suspended.

i have been doing shops for market force for several months, blue portal only. the shops don't pay well unless you wait for them to get close to the deadline. I have been doing $45 shops for them for investment companies that take less than an hour. Also Shops that initially started at $10 went up to $20 within a week or so. I don't do these shops at the lower rate and I don't think many shoppers do, because there are usually many that end up at the higher rate. Also, I have never had a problem getting paid. just my 2 cents.

Has Market Force ever been sued? Class action? What about complaints to your state?

Jorihutchinson, let me see if I have this straight. You were doing this job and you were asked to leave the store because of what you were wearing.

If this is the case, please tell us what you were wearing. We need more information to understand what happened.

@Mary Jori is probably long gone. This thread is from 2012 and recently revived by thrasher4.

I am thinking whatever they had on was probably not safe for public viewing. And if I recall, the purple portly is movie theaters, and it's business casual for most stuff, but not all.

Anyone else noticed the starting rates of assignments are falling?

Although Market Force Blue and Purple portals are normally I concur on the low side of fees, I have never had any problem with being paid for any of the numerous shops I did for them. Purple actually pays twice a month and almost like clockwork. I haven't done anything for them for the last month or so. Blue portal is able to process Direct Deposit for Canada, so I have not had a problem or time to even wonder if they paid. I just did a few of them and I am sure the pay would be in my account before I even wonder what happened.

For overt movie assignments, it is specifically stated that one should dress appropriately as one is supposed to represent the
Purple Portal or the movie company. It is understandable as you have to present an authorization letter.

I have done work for Market Force. Even though their pay is a little lower, never have I had issues with assignments nor pay.

They have been right on target and I continue to do work for them.
