I don't use Paypal and the reason (I was told) is that it can only be used by those within the US and its 'environs,' so I remain ignorant in as far as that is concerned. But on taxes, how do these companies account for those without SSNs?

PayPal can be used in many different countries--I wouldn't say ALL countries because I don't know this for sure, but certainly most (if not all) countries with a reliable legal and banking system (I've received payments from clients in Australia, the UK, and Hong Kong). Wherever you're getting your information, I would stop...and I might also recommend not giving out grossly incorrect information to others, or really giving any advice or information when you haven't actually looked into things yourself.
As to how a US company deals with payments made to people without SSNs, I don't know, but the IRS will care less about these anyway--they won't be collecting taxes from these people.

I got accepted at essaywriters.net last month, but I'm thinking of deactiving my account because of all the things I heard about them on this forum.
It's amazing that they treat their writers like that.

If you are a good writer and a native speaker, the chances of their playing straight with you are quite high. Having said that, you need to know that
1) they have an unethical writer-fining policy in place;
2) their per page pay is unacceptably low
3) they are the very antithesis of an honest business
Do you want to be associated with a company which lies to its customers, fines writers, etc.?
I am not denying the fact that they have some excellent writers on board - even the worst companies have some good writers - but, the majority are semi-literate and do not have the proper academic qualifications.
Keep on searching ...

WRT,
How do you know so much about essaywriters?
Particularly, how do you know that they play straight with those who are native English speakers?

No - I said the chances of their playing straight are high if you are a native English speaker and academically qualified. I did not say that they will play traight throughout your relationship or that you will escape their fining system.
I know about them because I've been in this industry for eons and know them through experience.
Honest advise - run far away from them

May be you should give EW a try, although of late I see their rates hitting south real hard but the consolation might come in the form of premium priced rush orders. And yes, the company's fining system can be a pain in the a** especially if you get a difficult client but on the overall, I would not call them the worst of employers-but you always have to be vigilant.

EW is arguably the worst, most fraudulent company in the industry.

True that my friend. I am sure it gets really frustrating when you don't even get paid after working very hard. You spend consecutive hours on the computer making sure you follow every deadline, but then you get fined for no reason at all.
Apart from this if you happen to take the messed up work of a previous writer, they tend to impose his share of the fine on your account as well. But the best part is when you are almost done with working on the order and then they just put the order on hold and cancel the whole thing while all your effort goes down the drain.
And this is not just it. There are a host of other never ending problems there. So I consider it as just a gamble, because even if you do complete your work you are not even sure if you will be able to get paid timely, correctly and duly.

Who is this still working with essaywriters.net? He/she needs counseling. They have also other sites like writers.ph and Asiawriters.com/net, I am not sure. These are corn men!!!! STOP WORKING WITH THEM. I HAVE WORKED WITH THEM AND I SAW FOR MY SELF. WHO CAN A COMPANY LIKE ESSAYWRITERS.NET HAVING OVER 22000 WRITERS, ONLINE 12 OR 25 LOG IN AT ONE TIME???? ASK YOUR SELF THAT. MOST people HAVE LEFT. I THINK THAT THE MORE QUININE ONES CAN BE UVOCORP.COM, ACADEMICEXPERTS.COM. RERASERCHWRITINGCENTER.COM IS ALSO YET ANOTHER WEIRD SITE. IT IS EVEN WORSEN THAN ESASYWRITERS. WORK FOR $2, $3 PER PAGE.

No one should have to be "vigilant" with their employers.
"You think that $10 per page is "high"? (I don't know whether to laugh or cry.) The bare minimum from any of the American companies in the industry is $10 per page, even for an order that is not due for 3 months!
EssayWriters.net abuses writers and gets them to work for rates that border on SLAVE LABOR because you writers LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!"
To be fair, I have frequently done work, in America, for $5-$7.50. This is because I targeted people who were pretty poor, which is a market not often tapped. I've slowly raised that over time to $12.50-$20.00.
What is clear is that $5 is the LOWEST that one could possibly go in America and be reasonable.
