Those who are working from the past couple of months in freelancer.com, you may follow that, freelancer community have changed some rules and regulations for the improvement of relationship and trust between buyer and providers. In the past history show that, many buyers and providers cheated by one another.
A few days ago, providers face a problem. As for example; after awarding a project, buyers give instruction to work as their direction. It seems that 70 percent of new freelancers get cheated. When the new freelancers win a project, they have an excitement that how to complete the work quickly. For this reason, without any discussion about the payment, they started the work. If the buyer is fraud, then your work will waste. But all buyers are not same. But remember one thing; take milestone payment before starting of work. But if the buyers are from our own country, then it can be negotiable.
Now a day, freelancer has developed many things. One of the important things is when a buyer posts a project then $5 will be deduced from his account. After that, when you will award the project, an additional $2 will be deduced. Now you must be leaving of thinking to be a buyer. Don’t worry because you will get refund of $5. Now have a look on how you will get this refund. According to past law, after awarding a project, he will get $3 refund instantly. But according to present law, he will not get it instantly. After the competition of the work, you will release a milestone payment and after full completion of payment you will get $5 automatically. If the buyer cheats with you, he will not get $5 anymore. From this, you will get some sort of security. Read this post carefully as a buyer. So you will understand everything.
