    I suggest you get yourself a PayPal account. PayPal knows no international boundaries (well, very few).
    I'm still confident that WidgetBucks will come good. The people claiming it to be a scam are those who have been banned for dishonesty - enough said on that.
    A company with Mpire's reputation has a lot to lose by randomly banning publishers without any evidence of wrongdoing.
    Have faith - if you play be the rules you will get paid.

    Actually, about the "randomly banning publishers without any evidence of wrongdoing" part happened to me, check out the other thread ... It's been over 4 days since that and I still didn't see any proof or answer from them.

    They don't need to provide you with any proof. The terms, which you agreed to (presumably) when you signed up, allow them to ban any publisher for any reason and without explanation.

    True, but that doesn't mean it's also fair.

    I'm in the UK and they removed that too. It's no big deal - just select PayPal as an option.

    I don't have PayPal account and I can't create one. So they technically banned all people who are out of US/Canada. These rules were not set when I join and it's not fair to apply rules retroactively.

    So you're saying that I can be a publisher for them even though I'm not in the US/Canada as long as I have a verified paypal account?

    I'm sure you can. Read this from their FAQs page:

    I think what's happened is they've just screwed their site up a little bit with the recent changes (referral earnings and deleted widgets tracker).

    I'm sure they aren't going around deliberately changing the rules and not telling anyone - that could lead to very, very bad publicity for them.

    I'm still optimistic that they'll iron out the bugs and pay those who observe the rules.

    Are you suggesting that they removed all countries by mistake? I sincerely doubt it

    I have also been suspended because of "AD-ONLY PAGE" which I am not guilty of. Is it because I'm in SE ASIA and my website audience are from asia and are bunch or kids who can't buy their products? Even though I get 10,000-15,000 impressions per day they still suspended my account. Very Bad!
