Here’s what consumers have asked with answers from Upwork staff and previous consumers.
I don't know why. They simply don't give any support and are not opened to negotiate. They just closed my account and don't want me as client. I'm using Freelancer.com instead and it works very well.
Hey Nawshin, How are you? I am using Upwork for 3 weeks now. And I can say for me is the best website for freelancers or buyers. I already have completed 2 jobs yet and now I'm working on a new one!
There is no negative reviews, if there is negative reviews by freelancer or people looking for freelancer, that mean they hired incompetent freelancer to do their work.
Sorry for your experience. I am a freelancer and everywhere, scamming happens. No one's safe. I suggest that, before giving a freelancer a job, kindly confirm their profile. No everyone there is a professional but I believe the profile ratings and feedback from clients can really help you out in choosing the best fit for your job. Thank you
I'm not sure about fees as a client, but I know they will take a large chunk of the money that you try to pay anyone after everyone wastes their time jumping through all the Upwork hoops.
It's up to you if you have a lot of connects. You can send over and over if you have plenty of connects.
Yes! Register and get to looking! Be sure to read the terms of service and you will see how they protect your payment. Just never take a job with unverified payment. Verified means that employer has placed the payment into escrow and even if they don't want to pay you, Upwork will.
