Do Stuff for Money

I haven't tried this yet (but a long-time paypal user). My friend sent this link to me this morning and it sounds interesting....but, I'm always careful with this sort of thing. From the site:

What is Do Stuff For Money?

Do Stuff For Money is a PayPay-sponsored site that allows friends to send each other offers via email, real or fake, to do pretty much anything.
Do Stuff For Money is meant to be a fun way to get your friends to do things...for money. But just in case you get stuck on your offering path, we've created this helpful question and answer section to aid you on your way.

How does it work?

Simply type in your first name; the first name of someone you want to send an offer to; the dollar amount you want the recipient to get if they complete the task you propose; and the task you want them to do for you. Once you've completed the form, click on the "Send Offer" button and we will ask you for your friend's email address so we can send them a link to view your offer.

I received an offer, what do I do now?

If you've received an offer from someone, you'll have the option to accept it or decline it. If you decline it, you don't need to do anything else and we will notify the sender. If you accept it, we will let the sender know and it will then be up to them to pay you for completing your end of the offer.

How do I actually pay a person if they accept the offer?

Log in to your PayPal account and go the Send Money tab. Enter in the information and click on the Personal tab/other to send them the money.

Paystr: Friends Pay Friends Online

Neat idea and account setup is super easy. It's a tough market though trying to squeeze in on the Paypal market. Anyway, here's the scoop from the site:

"Collecting money online from friends, family and clients, should be as easy and secure as buying a book from Amazon and now it is.

Paystr is a 100% free, secure, online listing site to reliably collect money or pay a friend. Just imagine being able to collect money in advance and not spend your time worrying if you are going to be paid by everyone or paid at all.

Collecting money can be frustrating and difficult. Paystr eliminates the excuses and makes it easy for you. Take a moment and think how instead of hearing from people that they forgot to bring you a check or do not have any cash, now they can pay you online, at anytime, and you will be able to spend your time enjoying the party, event, game, gift or whatever it might be you were collecting for."
