For the most part, the magazine article seem pretty decent, if you didn't need to filter out the nudity and skanky pictures (I'm talking about the articles... the ads are just as bad)! After three issues, we cancelled our subscription. Not that I don't enjoy looking at naked butts, half-exposed breasts and other Maxim-esque material, but we couldn't get past the filth to enjoy the articles.

I signed up, had two jobs done ($30 and $35). I paid the money, and found out when my credit card company called because there were a LOT of charges being made. So, looking at the fees, I got charged for each project, I got charged for creating the job, I got charged for using a credit card, and I got charged for a deletion fee (on a job I had just paid for?). A chat with customer service said I was being charged some of those fees by my credit card company (Mastercard), which they said was absolutely not true.

Bottom line? With all the fees Freelancer.com adds, the total I paid was $79.26 for two jobs that I paid $65 to have completed. That's a 21% fee rate to use this site! There are so many other sites to use that by going elsewhere you cut the cost by 10%-16%

Bottom line? What should have been
