Amazon Payments changes.

just got this email and won't lie i just about had a heart attack..until i read further down the lines.

for those who like text.

Amazon Payments would like to inform you of an upcoming change to your Amazon Payments account. If you are an Amazon Mechanical Turk Worker who uses your Amazon Payments account only to disburse earned funds to your bank account, these changes will not affect you. This change only affects customers who use their Amazon Payments account to make purchases on third-party websites through Amazon Pay.

Beginning on May 30, 2019, you will no longer be able to use funds contained in your Amazon Payments account to make purchases on third-party sites through Amazon Pay. For some merchants, this ability may be discontinued before that time. Funds in your Amazon Payments account may still be used for purchases on www.amazon.com, and you will continue to be able to disburse funds in your account to your linked bank account.*

i've never used amazon pay to purchase off of websites, so i'm pretty sure i'm good there. but wall of text, amazon payments header at the top..yeah, enough to raise BOTH eyebrows. so i figured i'd inform those who wanted to know.

sidenote: mturk is slowly rolling out bank options for those non-us users who've always been trapped in one payment option. more info can be found over on /r/mturk
