I won a rare decent-paying project with these guys. It paid $750.00. My client put $250.00 up front with GetAFreelancer. I left it there until I finished the book. They took $75.00 out of the $250.00 leaving $175.00. So they got their full commissionâ€¦
Fortunately for me, the client paid the balance in a check directly to me.
I say fortunately as GAF has blocked my accountâ€¦No reason, theyâ€™ve been paid but guess what?
I canâ€™t reach themâ€¦I canâ€™t sign in and that means I canâ€™t find out whatâ€™s going onâ€¦
And they are looking like flakes, theives or ???
Iâ€™d like to get my $175.00
Any ideasâ€¦
Vern

Well, I’m late to this game, but if anyone has snobbery issues with elance, I’d like to note my awesome gig I got from there where I am editing curriculum materials on Shakespeare, Donne and etc, other English Lit. greats…and they said my English degree would get me no where…lol…This was an Elance client and they’ve used me 5+ times in the last year…pay is great, too. I asked them why they chose elance to find a writer/editor and they said “It was the first one that popped up in Google.” There ya go.
