Payment Card and Third Party Network Information Reporting. The proposal requires information reporting on payment card and third party network transactions. Payment settlement entities, including merchant acquiring banks and third party settlement organizations, or third party payment facilitators acting on their behalf, will be required to report the annual gross amount of reportable transactions to the IRS and to the participating payee. Reportable transactions include any payment card transaction and any third party network transaction. Participating payees include persons who accept a payment card as payment and third party networks who accept payment from a third party settlement organization in settlement of transactions. A payment card means any card issued pursuant to an agreement or arrangement which provides for standards and mechanisms for settling the transactions. Use of an account number or other indicia associated with a payment card will be treated in the same manner as a payment card. A de minimis exception for transactions of $10,000 or less and 200 transactions or less applies to payments by third party settlement organizations. The proposal applies to returns for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2010. Back-up withholding provisions apply to amounts paid after December 31, 2011. This proposal is estimated to raise $9.802 billion over ten years

Back in October, I posted a "typical case" of someone trying to make some extra cash. Since then, I have found another documented example. 

From The Money Making Experiment:

In May I made $192, that’s more than twice the amount of my April earnings ($75).

• My best money maker, like last month, was Bux.to. With help of 72 referrals and my own and almost daily clicking, I made $105 on Bux.to alone. 
  
• I made $30 from my second affiliate sale. I already reported about it some days ago. Another 30 bucks came from a review I’ve written and published on my blog. Sorry I can’t reveal more details about it.
• Also worth to mention is NeoBux, a fairly new PTC site I’ve joined. With help of 31 referrals I made $6.50 from it. Not much compared to Bux.to, but this is mainly because of many inactive referrals in my account.
• $13.5 came from selling links on my blog. Although Google doesn’t really like that evil stuff, I think it’s a good way to make some extra cash, as long as the placed links are relevant to your niche.
• Finally, around $5 came from contextual advertising with Speedyads. The rest of the money was made from my articles I have published long time ago on Triond.

clipped from online.wsj.com With summer jobs in short supply, more young people are pursuing money-making opportunities in Web fantasy worlds While his friends scramble for jobs flipping burgers or bagging groceries this summer, 18-year-old Mike Everest will be working as a trader in the fantasy Web world of Entropia Universe, buying and selling virtual animal skins and weapons. His goods exist only online, but his earnings are real. In the past four years, he's made $35,000. But money-making opportunities in virtual worlds have grown as such sites go mainstream. Research firm Gartner Media estimates that by 2011, 80% of Internet users worldwide will have an avatar, making animated online personas as common as screen names. Such companies as IBM and Adidas have moved into Second Life, helping to drive employment.

“I started uploading images to a handful of microstock sites in February of 2005 as a test to see how it would go. These sites allow people to upload images, which are then sold cheaply for royalty free use, with a certain percentage of the sale going to the photographer. “

Here is a screen shot of his results

Both payment systems are freezing accounts of legitimate PTC (paid to click) sites. Such sites include, but are not limited to, Subvert and Profit and bux.to. They have generalized the paid to click industry as a scam. I wonder how I made money from it then?

Be sure to check out my earning money using the Internet posts: online surveys and selling ads.

Because I don’t want you to waste time, I have altered my downloadable seminars. I have eliminated moneymaking opportunities that take too much trail and error. I have re-emphasized making money in the “real” world as opposed to the “cyber” world. Remember, to get in on the joy of working for yourself, all you have to do is tip me at least $3.

I discussed this money making opportunity a while back. It's a good one especially if you are creative or like brainstorming with others. See my previous post here
