Tell me why a company would charge so much from clients and slave writers with poor pay. No wonder some clients get poor work. These slavers from Ukraine think they are better. Pay your writers well. Increase the CPP. How the hell can someone work on a paper with a CPP below 10 surely. You pay your writers too little. Be humans. This COVID-19 should do its work on you guys. Just like WriterBay you pay poorly and expect writers to work hard. Rethink your strategies. Pathetic bimbos.
EssayShark enslaves writers so you can get grades! Clients beware.
If you value humanity, order elsewhere. You can still get good websites to order from. All websites from UKRAINE are Vampires that suck the energy off writers.

Dear Creative F.,

I am sorry that you made such a conclusion about our company. Our system works on the bidding basis and writers receive payment for each completed work in accordance with their bids. Naturally, service takes commission, but it does not influence writers' wages. Payment our writers receive depends solely on their own productivity. More orders they complete, more money thay gain. On top of it, our company does not restrict writers in placing a bid they believe is fair for certain work.

WORST
October 7, 2019

I am writing for the company for a year now and I would say the experience I had with the company is worse than those fly by night companies that exist. I love to write, thus the opportunity to work for them was like a dream come true for me. As time pass by, that dream became a nightmare and I cannot keep silent anymore. I believe it was shared before that they were giving writers peanuts as compensation for a very hard job. I cannot forget one time when they tried to penalize me $100 for a $30 paper. I even had a customer asking if she has to pay the full amount of $60 for the order when the price on my end is only $18. But that's only on the side of my dilemma. I never had a smooth transaction of payments with the company ever since. They have this time frame for writers to send fund requests in addition to the number of days before the request of funds to get approved. The waiting time is too much and was never consistent. So do not surprise if you get troubles with your monthly bills because they do not follow the same calendar and I am not even sure if these people are using calendars. But wait, there's more. Lately, they are no longer using PayPal as a platform for the transfer of funds. They required writers to use Payoneer where they get $3.00 commission. Mind you, that's taken off from the peanuts that we writers worked hard for. And surprise, surprise! They are supposed to have all fund requests approved every 5th and 20th of the month, but hey, it's already 7th of October and my funds are still waiting for approval. What a very nice experience. See how well they compensate writers who feed them.

Dear Nadie L.,

Thanks for sharing your opinion! Service commission is present in the general price of each order and it's not a secret, but a usual and common practice. The amount of writer's bid is what they are going to get once an order is completed, and is not charged or reduced by the company in any way. Writers are allowed to suggest their price they believe to be fair for this or that assignment. There is no need to put the minimum price if it would not compensate the efforts.
I regret that you found our payment system inconvenient. Payment is processed twice a month within stable payment periods. This procedure is deemed to be suitable and convenient for most of our writers. Any issues that happen within the procedure can be solved with the Payment Department.

When initially ordering from EssayShark, I was fairly disappointed with the conversation from customer support. We talked over chat, and I could tell from their responses that these workers were definitely outsourced. They were making several syntax errors, and from a writing service, this is unacceptable. Nevertheless, I ordered a 3 page essay from them for my English literature class, and gave them a week to do it. After receiving the final paper, I also realized that their "Native Writer" was not native at all. I edited 75% of the paper, only leaving some essential elements. Overall, I would not recommend this service to other students.

Dear Joseph D.,

I am sincerely sorry that you were not satisfied with the quality of our customer and writing services. Let me assure you that our company hires only professionals with a good command of English, but not only native English speakers. We never presented our service as principally ENL, however, both customer support members and freelance writers pass strict evaluation processes. Moreover, their performance is constantly being checked by Quality Control. As for the quality of your paper, you did not have to edit it yourself. Our service grants an unlimited number of free revisions while the progress stage. If you were not pleased with the material provided by the writer, they could definitely assist you with all the necessary corrections.

Terrible experience. The writer tried to cancel my order 3 hours before the deadline, which leaves me no choice but handing in my rough draft. (Yes it is only draft editing) Maybe my experience is only the minority, but definitely not worth a try.

Dear Fio L.,

Thank you for sharing your experience.
It is a very unfortunate situation our service is sorry for. Canceling orders, especially urgent ones, from the writers' side is something we strongly discourage and such cases are pretty rare. We would be grateful if you provided the reference number so the situation could be thoroughly checked and all possible measures to prevent similar ones would be taken.

Disappointed
March 5, 2019

I have been writing essays for them for less than a year and I am disappointed. Writers get peanuts, while they get rich. Sadly, there are writers all over the world who have no choice but to work even for peanuts. That is why they still have writers applying to get a job on their site. Writers get paid as low as 3-4 $ per page, if deadline is not tight.
There are good writers and bad writers on the site. I am sure most of them completely lack the motivation to provide high quality work due to poor payment. Think about it: how much time do you put in only to get informed on a topic, let alone carefully study academic literature and finally put together a quality paper?... Try to do that yourself and you will see. And after all the effort... you get what? Umm... 5 $ per page!
In three words: modern day slavery!

Hello. Thank you for writing to us. We are sorry that you had such an experience. Our service works on a bidding system. Each writer has the right to put his price for the essay/paper he'll write for our customer. We never compel to place low bids or bids recommended by our system. The writer can independently assess the complexity of the task and put his/her desirable price.

I have worked with the company for 1 year now, but I am very disappointed in the way ratings change. The moment you're getting 10 star rating nothing changes on your overall rating as a writer. However, that day that you get a below 10 star rating, the rating changes immediately. Some customer rate you poorly even when you have delivered the best quality work. Secondly, essayshark came up with an evaluation team, where the quality of order are evaluated. The editor will tell you that your level or writing doesn't meet the academic writing standards yet you have many returning client who mentions that you always deliver the best work. I am beginning to get disappointed everyday.

A waste of money
June 20, 2018

I've used Essay Shark twice and I've been disappointed with the results both times.

The first time I got a paper that wasn't about the topic I'd asked for. Apparently, I hadn't highlighted a part of the instructions I gave them beforehand so it was my fault. There's a box for instructions, I thought writing the instructions in there would suffice, but nope.

Because of their pay to view progress system, I paid for about half of the paper, and then mentioned that the writer had gotten it wrong. I offered some guidance as to what I was looking for and the writer said he/she would make the changes.

I paid for the rest of the essay, found that the changes had been made. I messaged the writer, got no response. Then I got a message from the customer support department telling me I shouldn't make changes to my essay request mid-way through. Apparently, my guidance had been taken as me changing my requirements. So I was left with a paper I didn't want and no refund. And to make matters worse, my negative review was removed because it was "unfair for the writer!".

The second time I used them, I was in a bind and had another site cancel on me last minute. I was given a paper that was about the topic it should have been but it was so poorly written. Really poor English, poor structure in the essay and a pretty boring essay.

So yeah, stay away, they really suck.

Dear Joseph P.,

Thank you for sharing your experience.
Let me emphasize that our writers must follow only initial instructions, so if you added new comments that would require extra work, an additional order should have been placed. You did not need to pay in advance though. If you saw that the first part of the paper, that was available for free, did not meet your expectations and was out of the required topic, you could request a revision before releasing funds. Our service grants an unlimited number of free revisions according to initial instructions while the progress stage. It is highly recommended to check the material and make sure that it is exactly what is needed before approving any parts by releasing the payment.

Thieves
May 8, 2018

They accused me of plagiarism without any proof - no plagiarism report was provided. I have my screenshots of plagiarism check - the paper is 100% original. Moreover, the customer was satisfied and left very positive feedback. But thieves from support team applied a fine in the amount exceeding the price of the order! I worked with them for two years and now I am very disappointed.

Dear Nadiya K.,

Plagiarism is not tolerated on our website and our service has its certain procedures to resolve such cases. Plagiarism reports are not considered as last irresistible proof because different checkers show different results. However, you should have been provided with the proof of plagiarism in a form of direct links where it was found. All problematic cases that occur on our website are thoroughly checked and decisions from the service are always well-grounded.

Wow I just can't believe these past few 1 star reviews. It is clear to me that there was some kind of a bot attack on this service? IDK. Anyway, decided to add my two cents here. Essayshark is the most reliable and profitable for me as a freelance writer. I managed to gain the trust of clients and now I have a 9.7 rating and am very satisfied with the money I get. Many thanks!
