Freelancer

Expressing gratitude to freelancer.com for their exceptional support, I encountered a situation where the client remained unresponsive to my messages despite a considerable waiting period. Seeking assistance from freelancer.com proved to be a valuable solution as they advised me to wait for a specific duration, and if the client failed to respond within that timeframe, they would close the project. Indeed, this course of action was implemented, highlighting the challenges freelancers often face due to employers. It is commendable that freelancer.com takes decisive measures like this to address such issues effectively.

Freelancer.com provides opportunities for a lot of people who want to earn some extra revenue. Whether you are a job seeker or an employer, Freelancer also makes sure your hard work and money are safe. The site is pretty fair to all its users and is very well regulated. Been using it for a year and never encountered any issue whatsoever! The support team is great (I've been in contact with them every now and then for questions). Kudos Freelancer and Thank you!

I was charged the normal Freelancer Fee because an "employer" from Nigeria had accepted my bid and I had been so excited that I clicked on accept right away. However the project turned out to be a fraud and the kind support, Cyril C, who was chatting with me, blocked it down and immediately rectified my balance and the pending charge to my account. It was the easiest, most reassuring experience. I felt like Freelancer has my back and they are only too happy to make sure everybody is having a smooth work experience. Once he was done helping with the situation, he also gave me several tips to avoid a similar problem.

I accidentally awarded a contest within a few hours of opening. The customer services agent very sensibly contacted both parties to resolve the issue. And made a thought out judgement when an agreement could not be reached. The fact that it felt like some one actually looked at the issue and made decisions based on the facts was fantastic.
I was expecting a standard bland email/response

Thank you for your help. It has helped me to trust the freelancer site for future use.

My journey so far on freelancer has been good. Sure there have been ups and downs, but on drawing an average, the outcome is definitely satisfactory and one that deserves acknowledgement. Sometimes things do fall out of line, for example my freelancer verified badge for which I paid $99 has gone missing since the night before and I still have no idea why, but am confident that it will be sorted out soon courtesy of the ticket that I submitted. Overall, I am grateful for the global exposure that this platform affords and sincerely hope that it continues to smooth out the few glitches that hinder daily operations. Thank You Freelancer! Keep Up the Good Work & Keep Improving!

This is the WORST website for freelancing out there! You'll be charged for the simplest things, like breathing! Huh! I was awarded a 15$ project which did not work out well, so upon discussing with the client, the project was cancelled. No payments were made. But this site STILL charges 5$ from me! For what? Exactly!
I would advice anyone against using this. Trust me, there are way better websites you can earn from, for cheaper fees. Upwork is the best so far. They only charge 10% from what you earn and that too, will be charged ONLY when the client pays you.Don't make the mistake I made and spend over here even before you start earning!

Freelancer has always had a problem with anyone I have talked to in regards to validating your account, bullying others and overcharging.

Here's a new low though, they TOOK over $500 for a project that was done over 4 months ago and never notified me! This is a very new low and we are now working on federal actions as we have heard this happening to 20 other freelancers.

Freelancer.com is 100% unethical and doing ILLEGAL actions. Why else would they do it in a sneaky way?

Again, we have had to use countless measures and assistance from my lawyer to deal with other issues but this issue right here is an all time low! If there was a problem with the employee's account and they tricked Freelancer.com in regards to money, freelancers should not have to carry the financial burden and loose the money 4 MONTHS LATER!

So far I have talked with many recruiter for many purposes but Alexander stand out most and went above to help me. This is why I love to use Freelancer, great support with very professional behavior that make you feel valued.
