I successfully bid on work and carried it out to the project owners satisfaction which I was promptly for. I withdrew the funds and thought nothing more of it.
A couple of days after the money got to my Paypal account I logged in to Freelancer, only to find that I had a negative balance!
It turns out that a payment made to the project manager had been reversed by Freelancer. As the payment had been used to pay me, the payment to me was also reversed, putting my account into overdraft by about USD250.
Freelancer suspend any account that is in negative, if I want to use my Freelancer account now I have to pay them around USD250 so they will lift the suspension.
I have tried more than once to appeal to their common sense, but they only see the dollar signs.
Tip for consumers:
Do not use this site, they are not interested in the contractors, only in the money they can make.

Hello there, Mike. It is sad to hear about what has happened to the payments from one of your employers. Upon checking, it shows that my colleagues have already provided you a detailed explanation about what has happened to the funds and offered you solutions to settle this issue. Feel free to update your ticket ID: SZK-546-78409 if you wish to proceed with the proposal. Thank you, Mike.
