Upwork

Upwork is being run by a group of $#*!ty people who are just greedy for money. I don't say it is a scam, it is 100% legit and also I have earned a decent amount from upwork. But the upwork management sucks. Recently my account got suspended for no reason. When I asked them to provide me a reason then they simply refused and they also charge 20% from each service you provide and also a withdrawal fee and also a very low conversation rate. Moreover if unfortunately if you get in a dispute which is not a big issue because it can happen as there are plenty of frauds. In that case upwork again find new ways to launder money from freelancers. I can say if you are working fine on upwork then you are very lucky and a suggestion don't login your account from any other device or from app because app suck. Even though your project get spoiled but don't try to login on any other device if your care about your account.

Upwork cheats people out of their money. Some freelancers worked for me, I was generally happy with the work and was ready to pay. Upwork suspended my account and the accounts of my freelancers and after 4 days, still have not told me why. Although I proved that I had access to the account I was paying from, by verifying two random deposits, they continued to request for more and more personally identifiable information. As I type this, my account is suspended. They did however, managed to open it long enough, to take the money that belongs to my freelancers out of my account. Those freelancers, haven't received their money, and their accounts are still suspended. Upwork's story to the freelancers is that they refunded my money but I haven't seen any evidence of the refund. If this is not fraud, I don't know what is!

They posted a fake job posting and prompted me to sign up before applying. When I finished signing up, I went back to apply for the job and it wasn't possible. I realized that the post was an example of a job that I could get if I signed up and not for an actual job. It turns out the real application was to even be considered for jobs because they emailed me in the middle of the night to tell me that my profile wasn't accepted. I graduated with multiple awards and am looking for experience, but they're just looking to pad their bank account by taking massive billing fees from people who want to charge more.

Introducing to you... the most trustworthy and usable freelancing site. There might many other... but comparing to them... in my opinion Upwork is the best... it's secure... it's look classy... it's perform well.
Love to work with Upwork.

There is no privacy with Upwork. They suspended my account (which had all 5-star ratings) because of a comment in an email stream. Neither I nor the freelancer had spoken to Upwork about this. If it was an infringement of their policy, I don't have a problem with it. But the suspension was done without warning and could only be known by reading the email stream. I don't want my business known by the snoops at corporate headquarters of Upwork.

It has been a great journey so far, I'm looking to expand with Upwork. They have the best clients base. The quality of the platform has never been easier.

The fees would be more reasonable. For beginners after taxes and upwork fees there's literally no money left from the salary. But a great place to gather more experience and contacts! Easy to use and a lot of work options available.

Upwork has been on a MASSIVE downhill slide since oDesk. They no longer handling their own dispute system (they are outsourcing it to some inattentive company called modira). Fraud charges on my paypal account are up from the new lower class of workers and when you dispute the charge with paypal, upwork tells them they are handling it. Instead, your dispute gets lost in a slow support system called MODIRA which is outsourced as well

It's BAD. 90% of of the jobs go wrong and support handles maybe 5% of the disputes! This isn't just an issue of crap work. They don't care about either the freelancer or the job poster.
