Panda Research Review: A Waste of Time and Energy for Online Money-Making
I signed up for Panda Research (pandaresearch.com) thinking I could make some extra cash, but boy was I wrong. The surveys they offer are few and far between, and when you do finally get one, it takes forever to complete. And even after all that time and effort, you might not even get paid!
The website itself is also a mess. It's hard to navigate and the design looks like it was made in the early 2000s. And don't even get me started on the customer service. I had an issue with a survey not crediting me and when I reached out for help, I never heard back.
Overall, I would not recommend Panda Research to anyone looking to make money online. It's a waste of time and energy. Stick to other survey websites that actually pay and have better user experiences.

Warning: Panda Research is a Scam Site - Don't Waste Your Time!
I heard about Panda Research from a friend and decided to give it a try. I signed up and started taking surveys, hoping to earn some extra cash. However, after a few weeks, I noticed that I wasn't receiving any payment for my efforts. I contacted their customer support, but they were unresponsive and didn't provide any helpful information.
I continued to take surveys, hoping that I would eventually receive payment. However, after months of waiting, I realized that Panda Research was a scam site. I know of someone who has been waiting for 2 years to be paid by this site! It's a complete waste of time and effort.
I strongly advise against using Panda Research. There are many other legitimate survey sites out there that actually pay their users. Don't waste your time with this scam site.
Panda Research Review: Not Worth the Time and Effort for Minimal Pay and Poor Customer Service
Panda Research is a website where you can do some work and get paid for it. But, let me tell you, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. You can work on their offers and they will just sit there for years with you getting nothing out of it. It's like they don't even care about you or your time.
I mean, sure, they have some good offers that you can complete and get paid for. But, it's not worth the hassle of waiting for months or even years to get paid. And, let's not forget about the surveys. They take forever to complete and you only get a few cents for your time.
The website itself is also a bit confusing and hard to navigate. It's like they don't want you to find the good offers or something. And, don't even get me started on the customer service. It's like they don't even exist.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend Panda Research to anyone. It's just not worth the time and effort. There are better websites out there that actually care about their users and pay them in a timely manner. So, save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.
No one answers the phone
Called several times - no one answers. Spend months trying to get to $30 and then I find out it is a scam. I earned that money and i need that money. Was doing surveys to earn money so I can have a Christmas this year. Everone knows I'm poor but I am still ashamed year after year to give nothing to my family. Thought this year would be different. Through my efforts I will have nothing to show. I already don't want to get out of bed because of depression and a broken back.
Why would they be so mean as to do this to people?
Desired outcome: PUT MY $30 IN MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT THAT I SET UP FOR THIS PAYMENT.

Panda research
I paid $47 to an offer on panda research website. I was supposed to receive $47 sent to my panda research account for completing the offer. Which I did complete the offer. And I have a receipt sent to my e-mail from when I paid the $47. But I have e-mailed panda research support tickets on panda research 7 times in 2 months. I have provided proof screenshots of the $47 receipt to panda research support of the payment . And I have Not received any reply from panda research at all. Not 1 time has panda research e-mailed me back. My panda research account was supposed to receive the $47 within 30 days. It has bee nore than 60 days. And I still have not received the $47 that panda research owes me.
Desired outcome: I want my $47 put into my panda research account.
Here is a proof screenshot of my payment receipt. That I received from my payment to panda research offer. But I was supposed to receive $47 back in my panda research account. But I have never received it in my panda research account.

payment
I sent a complaint and wondered who I could contact in your office that might help me get my payment from Panda Research. They owe me $151 and I have like $5 approved after doing all the work. This was very upsetting I was just getting started doing surveys and mystery shopping. It doesn't take long to figure out which companies are the best to work for and the ones to avoid. I can be reached at [protected]@gmail.com.
payment due
I completed 27 surveys from September 10, 2018, until November 4, 2018. It is now a month after my last survey was done and they owe me $151.03 and a mere $5.08 has been approved but that isn't enough to request a payment. I have e-mailed at least 5 times to try and resolve this issue and to date I have no response. I am asking for your assistance to make this right. I would never have wasted my time if I was getting paid to do it. I have plenty of other work and could have perfomed jobs and gotten paid.
payment for surveys
I have completed over 75+ survey's, to which I have sent proof of all to the company. I also jumped thru all of their "proverbial hoops" in regard to each survey. I submitted several tickets/messages to them regarding this issue, where I claimed the priority level was "high", only to go back and see that it was changed by someone on their side as "low"
I have been sending emails or tickets to try to receive my 2nd $50.00 payout. I have had no luck and i am also one of the ones that did not get a verification call. If someone woild help me fing their phone number i would greatly appreciate it. I have been waiting since 5-10-18.

Non payment for survey
Panda research is a scam! I have competed 120$ in surveys and have only been approved for 25$.This is all I've gotten in 3 yrs plus. I keep sending tickets ...because that's the ONLY way you can. But I completed a survey to sign up with another survey company to get paid. I completely followed directions. I keep getting ticket replies asking for screenshot proving I signed up. I've done that 6 times and panda keeps telling me I didn't send screenshot where I ordered the product.THE SURVEY WAS NOT TO ORDER A PRODUCT. I even sent them screen shot of their directive for survey. I still have not gotten credit. They are a scam and I believe have no intention of paying me. I don't understand why you can't communicate with a real person. I don't understand how you can follow directions clearly and still not get paid. Can you explain panda research?
Doing surveys
I've done several surveys over a 1 year period and the amount is over $205.00.and have never received any form of payment. They said they go through Harris polls for payments.I've never been paid by them or through them, I would like my money.

This company is absolutely untrustworthy
I've been a member of Panda Research for almost 6 years. I've paid my own money and completed every step I was told to complete to earn my keep with their service. For about a month now, I've been fighting tooth and nail to receive my $50 check from them. I was even told by one of their service representatives that the check is on its way and has been approved. After checking the mail box day in and day out, I finally contacted them and was told that the manager has declined my payments because my money has been sitting in the account too long. All that hard work, for nothing. Instead, I'm left defenseless and regretting ever signing up with them. For years, their sketchy surveys have redirected me to websites that have left my computer with malware and my email account with more spam than I'll ever know what to do with - some of which cannot be unsubscribed from. My privacy has been violated and, in this surveyor's opinion, this company is absolutely untrustworthy. If you want to make money from legitimate services, I recommend Amazon's Mechanical Turk or Global Test Market. I just hope that someone is reading this right now and can back out of Panda Research before it's too late.
I fulfilled my end of their terms and conditions and amassed $50 in approved earnings. You have to wait 30 days after you request payment for the funds to be released to you. 30 days came and passed and I received nothing. I contacted them 4 times about this with no response. Save yourself the hastle and do not do business with this company.
Survey scam
Years ago I got suckered into completing surveys for money by Panda Research (www.pandaresearch.com). When I was ready to cash in and receive my payment they stopped answering my email. I then reported them to the better business bureau of Chicago and they where able to contact the website owner and inform them of the wrong-doing that they where commiting and actually got them to pay me my balance that I earned which was a shock to me! If anyone has not gotten paid by this ripp of scam site I suggest reporting them to the better business bureau. After a bunch of attempts I finally got paid because they where forced to by law. Do not ever try to earn money through surveys, they are all scams I don't care what people say. Panda Research you suck! Here is Panda Researches contact info.

Zses.com's Review of Panda Research
This site is free to join and all the sites listed on Zses.com are free to
participate in. Panda Research tries to fool you into thinking they are a paid
survey site, but they really aren't. They send you "surveys" to your email
address, but the only way to receive money is if you buy the product at the
end of their survey. Plus we have read some pretty bad things about this
site on the Internet. Many people complain that Panda Research has never
paid them, and that they don't respond to emails if you have a problem with
receiving payment.
Our rating is from 1 to 5, 1 being the lowest and 5 the highest.
Our rating is based on these factors:

Non Payment OF completed Surveys
I completed the CableTV Survey and was Promised I would Recieve 75 Dollars Once Completed. Now I have been givin the RUN-AROUND, about them tryin to verify the completion. I have done every thing they asked me to do forward and backwards, but they still come up wit excuses! They are a SCAM and everyone who has been SCAMED by them need to get together and file a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THIS PANDA RESEARCH!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I completely agree with you. However, the wording that is used on most of the websites (Panda, Inbox, etc) say that they are not liable if they don't pay us.
Relentless spamming
Call me a sucker, I went to Panda Research website, lured by the possibility of getting paid for taking surveys...then had 2nd thoughts immediately after taking the 1st survey and unsubscribed. Started receiving unsolicited emails within minutes and they haven't stopped yet, have been unsubscribing non-stop all day. The telemarketers started calling at 8:00 am (I had logged onto Panda research at about 11:30 pm the night before for about 15 minutes). It's amazing how much aggravation they can cause from such a short period of online contact. I'm an old person who only recently purchaed a computer and I am learning my lesson!

Non payment, Scam Operation
This company is a total scam! I started completing surveys for them, and they were approving monies left and right. Then all of a sudden, they quit approving amounts before I reached the $50.00, which is the minimum you must have to request payment. When I tried to contact them, they said that I did not complete the requirements, which I know is B.S. This company is committing fraud, and needs to be prosecuted. I am yet to hear of ANYONE getting paid one red cent from these ###. BEWARE!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I agree- Panda Research is nothing but a scam! I've been with them for over three yrs only for my account to suddenly get frozen without warning where I am not getting paid for doing any surveys etc. I sent three emails to them through the ticket process they have set up and guess what? I have received nothing back from them to explain what is going on. Meanwhile they closed two of the tickets without notice or answering any of my questions while I have waited for over a month have contact with them. It is a total waste of time spent with no payout! I do other surveys and get reimbursement without any problems. Only Panda Research took me for a ride. Go figure. Hope this helps someone else from falling for their scam!
On the evaluation of the survey, near the last page where they ask for your address, I entered my address and all other details asked for, and when I clicked on submit, it kept coming up with the error message, "must use a valid, legal US address". So I could not do any more surveys, because I could not get to the end of the required evaluation. This happened after I had earned $22.64. I was hoping to earn $50 so that it could be put into my paypal account. They have no "Contact us" on the website.
i don't receive pending money for servey completed by me naderick Jarrett or Kevin Jarrett i used this name for google accounts
I started to do survey and earned up to 300 dollars and only 102 was approved, even though i sent email and proof of the charges on my account. It didn't matter, also I requested the amount that was approved they told me it would take up to 45 days to retrieve my payment and now it's been 60 days, I have email them and have not receive any reply.
Panda Research was fine when I joined in 2007 or 2006. Rec'd 1st pymt in 2008 and a second in 2010. After that I did not do as many surveys or joined any companies through them except for a few in 2011 and 2012. But never rec'd credit for 3 surveys nor have I rec'd credit for Eleven surveys completed this year 2013. I have also not received Any email from them since 2011. On my account record - it shows all of these surveys with notes next to each type survey that states that they have not received confirmation that they were completed. I have never on any other site had to wait this long 'for a confirmation' NOR have I rec'd an email from the company I completed the survey for.
So, yes, they were legit over 2 years ago But not now.
Panda Research is not an honest business to do business with. I completed enough surveys to get my first $50 in payouts. I had to hound them to get them and then it took them two months before they would pay to my paypal account. I racked up another $88 in earnings. However, they stalled and stalled finalizing them. They hung in limbo and would not approve them. I contacted them two times requesting a response as to why, when I completed the survey, I got a successful completion, but panda would not respond. I filed a complaint with my state DATCP bureau. They contacted the parent company of panda, A & A Marketing Inc of Buffalo Grove, Il. They sent back a false reply stating I did not complete the surveys and had not reached the threshold for payment. This survey company is a rip-off, fraud, and should be drummed out of business. They have a history of making the monies from the companies that hire them to market a survey, but do not pay the person completing the survey. Maybe if enough people file complaints on them in their home state, someone will connect the dots and realize they are fraudulent.
Panda Research is one of the biggest wastes of time in the survey and rewards sites world. I do them all, so I can easily compare. Somehow I managed to cash out $50 from Panda after clicking on a lot of Paid Click e-mails, but not without a hurdle or two.
First of all, it took them a long time to confirm/verify me. Even after I called them and verified on the phone, my verification was not recorded in my account, and then I had to verify myself again at a later time. I told the guy on the phone that I had already been verified and he had a bit of an attitude about it., and was rather rude - as if to imply, why should I care that I have to waste my time and get a long distance call on my bill to be verified a second time when they should have recorded it the first time?
Anyway, AFTER that one and only cash-out with Panda, I was on my way to racking up another $50 in Paid E-mail Clicks - which Panda offers as a way to earn a few cents - and was close to my target, when SUDDENLY they changed their policies mid-stream and decided that none of us can cash out $50 if was all earned by paid e-mails. In other words, even though I legitimately earned that $50, they will not let me cash out for any more than $25 of paid e-mail clicks at a time, and the other $25 to meet the $50 requirement has to come from other ways, like doing their surveys or whatever. Of course, they won't let me cash out for anything less than $50, so if I want to get even half ($25) of the money I earned in Paid e-mail clicks, I have to then wait to earn ANOTHER $25 in surveys or whatever just to be able to cash out at the $50 requirement.
There are way TOO many hoops to jump through with Panda. It's just not worth the time and trying to keep track of their rules. It's totally unfair that I can't have the money I legitimately earned because they changed the rules mid-way through, just before I reached the cash out limit.
If the people out there think they they are getting a good deal with Panda, believe me, I can steer you towards many other places that make it much easier to cash out! Just recently I signed up with another company to do an online 60-minute panel discussion for $25. When it was time to start the discussion, their website was acting up and a lot of people could not get in to participate in the discussion they had already registered for. I wrote a note to Support for this particular company and told them I was not able to participate - and guess what? They OFFERED to pay me the $25 anyway! They said they were going to compensate me for my attempt at getting in - and a $25 PayPal was sent to my account within 2 hours on that same day! I didn't even do anything for this company except to try to log on to their site and they paid me $25 anyway! Panda Research should take a cue from this other company in how to treat their members and, at the very least, should let people have the money that they legitimately earned, by whatever means it was earned.
Sounds like lies to me! You are repeating everything twice like you are automated casey.casey402@gmail.com. I did all the surveys correctly and they were all pending and then got erased some how maybe by you since you supposedly work there but you also get paid for the surveys. You make no sense at all. Anyone knows that you cant work for a company and get paid for doing something that is for the customers only. Just like at the casino... you cant work for them and play at that same casino because its basically considered fixed! I think thats what your company does they ared fixed and not to be trusted. Read those FAQS! the only online surveys that i've done and actually got checks from is inboxdollars.com. I'll stick with them and leave you alone
