I found this website pretty useful and if you have old essays from college lying around , why not make extra cash !!! Wish I knew this sooner.

Pretty Good

I have tried to submit 2 essays, but they didnt get through which is sad, i am submitting more though and not giving up, i have heard the wait times are a long time though, thats the only down side, do you have an answer to how many essays you buy a day? im just interested, maybe put ads on the site to increase the revenue, therefore decreasing the wait time for payment.

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the review! If you shoot us an email at contact@cash4essays.com, we can usually let you know if there are any consistent issues with your uploads that you can avoid in the future, therefore increasing your chances of having your essays accepted.

Our daily purchasing rate depends on our monthly budget, which is updated at the beginning of each month.

Cheers!

Hi Alina,

You can always reach us by emailing contact@cash4essays.com if you'd like to inquire about the specifics of your account and your submissions. I can assure you that we do not block accounts unless there are serious violations of our terms of service, and in those cases, we reject any essays that were submitted.

Best,
Erin

Simple, straightforward, easy, but it takes a while.

I found cash for essays somehow and I was skeptical like anyone. But after reading some reviews I decided to give it a shot. I uploaded my papers and I was 80,000th in line (or something like that). 4 months later I got paid. Probably not worth it for a small amount of papers, but if you keep yours like I do then it can pay off.

Unacceptably Bad Experience

I submitted my essays over 4 months ago and there are still over 13,000 essays ahead of me. I looked for some way to contact them and there are none. I am sure my essays have been stolen from me because they were approved within a day of submitting them. I feel violated and naïve for believing this was a legit way for me to make a little extra cash from all my hard work. This has been a very UNACCEPTABLY BAD EXPERIENCE!

Hi James,


The wait time between acceptance and payment is a few months, which is something we're working to improve. In the meantime, you can always contact us at contact@cash4essays.com for an update on the status of your essays. (Our email address is listed in the footer of our homepage and in several places in our FAQs).

Long Wait Time

The website does what it says but you have to wait a long time to get paid. I submitted my essays around the end of August of 2016 and only got my payment just today (March 4th, 2017). The site does indeed give you cash for your old essays but unless you're willing to wait half a year or more, I don't suggest you join the site. It is definitely not a site that can provide you with quick cash.

Really Slow Wait

I've had my essays accepted nearly two months ago and am still waiting for them to be purchased. Wondering if I'll have to wait a full year to receive my first purchase. I also want to upload more essays but am worried that my spot on line will be pushed back. Ugh. Understand it takes time, but didn't realize how long this would really take. Just trying to sell my essays quickly and easily.

Hi Julia,

Apologies for the current wait time. We have hiked our budget a few times in the past couple months, but we are still catching up to the interest in our site over the past 6-8 months.

Just to clarify, if you do upload new essays, you won't "lose" your current place in line. Your older essays will still be purchased in the order they were received.

Best,
Erin

Hi Annie,

I'm sorry for any confusion about your estimated payday. The message you see to check back on the first of the month is not your payday, but rather a reminder to check in during the following month when our budget rolls over. If you email contact@cash4essays.com, we'd be more than happy to give you a closer estimate of when you can expect your essays to be purchased.

Regards,
Erin

LOL how is this real???

I thought it was fake. I mean, who would buy these? Hell I thought some weren't even that good since I wrote most 3 hours before the class it was due. Apparently, this company buys them. This thing has made me considerable gas money. Can't wait to send in more essays. If you were second guessing it, don't, it is as simple as it sounds.

Cash4Essays Rocks!

Cash4Essays is a fantastic site to sell old essays that are just sitting on your desktop gathering dust. Remember all of those essays you had to do in College/High-School? Send them here for an easy buck! The whole process was easy and fast! Erin, a representative, was incredibly helpful in helping to resolve a slight issue that happened due to a miss-type on my part! 5/5 would highly recommend this website.

While you have an easy to use service, the whole process was extremely slow.

Hi Nicholas,

Thank you for your feedback. We would love to decrease the wait time between approval and purchasing and are working hard to catch our budget up to the interest in our site. We've raised our budget two months in a row in an effort to move through the queue more quickly.

Had to cash out twice, and had to contact support.

I had to cash out twice because their paypal payment processor wasn't working. They lost $6 of essays, but I got most of my money.

Hi there--
Thanks for your feedback. The PayPal bug this weekend was extremely frustrating for us too and we did our best to get to the bottom of it as soon as humanly possible. I'm very sorry that you were caught in the crossfire. If you think that there are some essays that we accepted but for which you did not get paid, please email us at contact@cash4essays.com so we can take a look at your account and get it sorted out. We of course want to pay you for every essay that we accept.
Best,
Naomi

Hi Samyak,

When your essays are accepted, they move to the purchasing queue. We purchase essays a specific number of essays each day in the order in which they were received. You can track how many essays are in front of you and check to see if you have an estimated payday on your profile, and we will email you when your earnings are available to cash out, yes! You can check out the full process in our FAQ: http://www.cash4essays.com/faq

Great Service...

This is an awesome service, pays you for something you have to do anyways! The only part that was slightly inconvenient was the fact that I had to wait a few months (submitted in June/July, paid out in November) for the rewards. I totally understand the whole budget thing, however, so that does not affect my rating.

Hi Alaa,

Thank you for your feedback. We had a major spike in submissions in May due to some exposure on Reddit, and it has taken us some time to adjust our budget to the surge in growth. We're continuing to work hard to reduce the wait between acceptance and purchase.

Cheers!

Poor pay, poor response, poor value, poor website.

I am only giving 2-stars because this website is available, and easy to sign up for. I enjoy writing, so it's nice to see this as one of the only websites of its kind, offering any sort of money for essays.

The rest of the review is based strictly off experience. There is no real connection between the people accepting the essays or not- I would like a more personalized experience, perhaps with some feedback as to why the essay was not accepted as compared to a general statement.

I also never noticed that if you don't "cash out" within 160 days of receiving an approved essay notification, that the money goes away. I don't think that's right, seeing as how you only get $2 for something so hard worked for. There should be no expiration date on the money received. I was up to $24 and now, because I just saw "the small print", I am down to $4.

I do like that it's exclusive to PayPal, it makes things easier, but unlike EBay, and other online retailers/cash for ... websites, you have to click to submit to PayPal, then check your e-mail, then go back, and click the link in the e-mail, and again, go back to the website to make sure your money went through. There should be some sort of just "Sign into PayPal through here" type of option, taking out the confirmation e-mail.

I am not happy with the slow responses for essay acceptance, and the "referral bonus". I submitted my essays over two months ago, and I won't be seeing any cash results until October 1, and it is now, September 23. There needs to be a faster response for both essays accepted, and payments.

Because this is the only website I have found that pays for essays in this manner, I won't be leaving, but it is frustrating. If you don't want to take the time, and have a lot on your plate, you won't find time for a measly, possibly expiring $2 for your essays, you just won't.

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.

Since we receive hundreds of submissions each day and have a small team, it would be impossible for us to provide specific reasons that each essay was rejected. That said, you can always email contact@cash4essays.com for more detailed information.

To clarify, balances do expire after 180 days, but the 180 days doesn't start until the essay has been purchased and the balance is available to cash out. It does not start when the essay is accepted. That leaves you 6 months to access and transfer earnings to your PayPal account.

Also, you only have to confirm your PayPal email address one time. Once we've confirmed that it's a real address that you can access, your balance will be transferred to PayPal with one click from the Cash4Essays website.

We do recognize that the current wait time isn't ideal, and we're doing our best to catch our budget up to the growth we've experienced so that we can purchase essays more quickly.

Cheers!
