This is a scam. Stay away form it. They will not buy any thing from you. By the way this is an old classic scam and it has been around for years.

I only know of one legitimate company for assembling crafts but they require a fee for the kits. Plus they will only pay you for the pieces that meet their quality standards. I do not know of one company that does not ask for a fee.

The best advice I can give you is to make your own crafts and sell them at craft fairs, flea markets and possily on a website (make business cards to put on your crafts with your web address and hand out business cards to people).

Let’s say you’re assembling bracelets. You get the first kit, spend hours making bracelets, and send them to the company. They "approve" enough of the bracelets to send you a small check. Usually just about enough to cover your second kit, so you ignore the expense of mailing out your first set of bracelets.

You’re feeling good, you know you can do "better" this time, so you buy the kit. You spend many long hours assembling the bracelets. You send them in and get a check from the company that doesn’t even cover your cost of shipping (if you get a check at all!).

It’s a scam. You’re better off sending out a dollar in a chain letter.

Sadly, I fell victim to trying to do some of these – though I did pay for a start up kit. Lost some money there. I don’t believe there are any out there that are free…the ones that charge you for the kit – they get thousands of people a month to buy their kits – that’s their business. Scams…all scams.

Why would a company pay to ship pieces to you, pay you to put them together, then pay to have you ship them back? Why would they not just hire an employee to do it at their building? If you want to earn money, you will have to get a real job. You can't earn a living answering surveys (which really just collect info on you!) on the Internet. No company is going to pay good money for that when they can simply provide a survey link on their receipts and get ACTUAL CUSTOMERS to tell them what they thought of their services or products (for free!).
