Awful - and deceptive too. You might think signing up for a. co.uk site might be UK-based, and mainly giving to access to UK-based freelancers - but no. Completely the opposite. Everything feeds into the Australia-based. Com site.
My site design project attracted over 100 bidders, with ONE from the UK and the rest from different worldwide timezones/countries, which wouldve made communication and accountability a nightmare. And all the while someone at Freelancer base was pushing me to accept bids. Once Id realised what a total crock the entire deal was, would they respect polite requests to delete my project? Thatd be a big NO. (Unless of course I paid them to do this...)
Not so cheap either btw, I eventually found an excellent UK-based designer at roughly half the price many of Freelancers bidders were quoting.
Avoid.
