I've heard people who have done it before. They usually say that it was not all worth it. You don't get much from it, but i don't think there's anything to lose, except for your time.

Yes you can!  I've been doing it part-time for about 6 yrs now.  I make between $10-30 per shop and they take me about 30 min - hour.  I get paid usually via PayPal on the following month. 

First of all - Never pay anyone to become a shopper!  You can join companies for free and even become certified.

My husband used to do this on the side for a few months but he stopped b/c all of the assignments were so far away.  You pay up front and they reimburse you for a named amount after you critique.  It's worth it for some people if you can get assignments close by.  But we lived in a small city and had to drive to get to the assigned places.
