I had 20 dollars on the site - It disappeared with random charges - I could not withdraw until I had some amount of money above that. I closed my account with them since the jobs are generally people looking for people in third world countries and do not want to pay anything. - That is ok by me I guess, people in those places need work. BUT the money handling they do is shady.

This site could be good, but the majority of the jobs are junk and the amount of money they charge is way too much for the service they provide. Most jobs that are not, do my homework are people looking for someone in third world countries that will do their job for them. I have had some nice low paying jobs editing and proofing for non-native English speakers. So I proof someone's blog for 10 dollars and receive 8 dollars. Not so great. 100 becomes 80 and so on. Most of my freelance work now comes from word of mouth, Craigslist and other places. Then I get a notice my account will be suspended if I am not more active on their site? Doesn't freelance mean you work when you want? I did not sign any contract with them.

I started to sign up-then saw the prices to bid on poorly described jobs. I did not go further. Now my email box is full of crap emails. I looked at them none looked like a legitimate job. And surely none worth 12 dollars to bid upon. I thought some of the Freelancer sites were bad taking 20% of your takings on a job. This one is pure GREED. Creepy

“Upwork doesn't honor the freelance mode of working, they treat everybody like employees. It's a horrible site.”
