Its a terrible service, partly beacuse the payment systems is bad (frrelancer holds on to my refund for no reason) but most because you get so many offers from freelancers which do not read your job description properly and just want to deliver some stuff to get their money as soon as possible. You need to explain so much to them that you are better of with some real service. Good stuff does cost money.
On the last job a freelancer (teambeedesigners) started the job, delivered poor work (actually just copied code from another website) and finally was not able to complete. Smart enough he did not properly accept the job via the freelancer platform so i was not able to give a bad review on freelancer itself.

Now we are writing 8th of october and i am still waiting for my money which i claimed on 29th august. Freelancer is just playing time but saying refunding is not the same as withdraw - what the heck? And why is it technically possible to withdraw money on their site if i was supposed to claim a refund? It is my money, i paid it into my freelancer account and i can expect to get it back asap. They just make a lot of fuzz about the difference between refund and withdraw with no use apart for themselves. Even now they need another 10 working days to refund it to my PayPal account... so fed up them. Can´t wait to cancel my account with them. Never, never again...
