I'm currently making money on this site as a graphic designer, every time I encountered a few problems (which is normal for this kind of site), supports are easy to reach and they always have a quick response. I really recommended this site.
I spent hours upon hours writing articles for an employer on freelancer.com They paid my fees to freelancer.com but then freelancer.com without warning banned them from the site and are withholding any money that should have been paid to me. I tracked down the employer as they told me to do, he hasn't been refunded any money like they told me he had been. They basically told me it's up to me to chase him despite the fact that all invoices were done through freelancer.com I intend on putting in a complaint with consumer affairs.
Josie was fast and just asked for a few things before giving me a quick response to my doubt. I hope everyone at support would be as good as her.

We hired a logo designer to create a logo. Their website indicates that any material which is not original will be pulled off their website and within the actual handover agreement, it highlights that any IP associated to the concept, the designer forfeits ownership upon exchange of money for the design.
Designer has used many attributes of my logo design with many other logo designs subsequently, and when this issue has been presented to Freelancer.com, they have highlighted to address with designer. Then when questioned further, they have advised to again go back to the designer. Further questioning, they have indicated that they will investigate. Response was, yes its clear that the designer has used similar attributes of my design in other designs and can be found all over the internet... apparently, i then questioned why aren't they taking any responsibility in removing or taking greater action in protecting intellectual property.
DON'T TRUST THESE SCAMMERS, THE MONEY YOU ARE SPENDING IS A WASTE OF TIME FOR UNORIGINAL MATERIAL AND NO PROTECTION WHATSOEVER.
BUYER BEWARE.!
Tip for consumers:
WASTE OF MONEY! Rather than enforcing a line to protect the services you pay for, they direct you back to the designer. I had other designers who have competed for other work approach us about our designer's un-original material, we approached Freelancer and they direct us back to the designer!.....Pathetic.

I have been with freelancer a quite a while now. I was happy before but recently no one was able to help, 1st - support people has poor customer service... does not help at all instead would just tell you what happened and that's it or tell you the FAQ (if it's just FAQ, I won't bother looking for a live support). 2nd they post an Incomplete project without rating me or me rate the employer because I cancelled this, I experienced being harassed by an employer when I decide not to continue because he was giving unusual decisions time frames and from time to time he change his instruction and do not stick to what we agreed about. I lost the dispute but I don't care, I just want him reprimanded for his false accusation about my family plus cursing and etc but no - freelancer did not do anything, just told me just block the person so he will not bother you but still that employer created a new project just to bother me through messages... I reported it again but nothing was solved still and is not fair to do this on the employees end. (without the good freelancer employees no one will go to Freelancer to hire someone). Now 3rd - my feedbacks are not posting on my profile and all they say the employers did not make yet the feedback when the employer confirmed themselves and confirmed he/she got a message informing he/she already made a feedback when she tried to make the feedback again but the support insist the employer did not make any feedback. Tired of dealing with their support which you will be going in circles. I don't know what's going on with Freelancer but my good experience is slowly going down to drain of this poor service and poor communication and not fair judgement/rules now. I feel there is no protection or fair rules for the people working on the job when in fact they also get rip off fees from us too.
Tip for consumers:
I suggest you try to check other job sites now and compare. You will know what I am saying.

I am working at this site from 2013 and now all of a sudden freelancer.com admin has closed my account without any notification or prior information. They even have not send me any mail before or after closing my account.
I have generated ticket to contact their support and they have not taken my complaint seriously and just replied that you have violated the terms. They have not specific that which term or policy I have violated? I have asked them again and again that tell me where i was wrong so that I should know what i have done wrong but they replied nothing.
I am really shocked with this attitude of freelancer. I have earned good reputation there with 270+ reviews and have done really hard work to make my clients satisfy.
This action of freelancer have ruined my efforts of last 5-6 years.
Other than loosing my well build profile and clients i also have not access to my funds there. I have my funds of 400+ on their site. But they are not allowing me to sign in and that's why I am unable to get those funds in my hand.
My ID was 100% completed and verified. Then why this company has closed my account. If i made some wriong act then at least they should give me warning before closing of account or they can give me any kind of penalty. But how can they close my account without any kind of information?
Its 4th day that i am trying to contact from different ways but they are not taki9ng my ticket seriously and not responding to it.
I will wait for another 24 hrs and if they will not respond then of course I will be giving negative review to this company at all platforms.
I am attaching screenshot of my Email. It can be seen that how many reminders i have sent them to respond me and tell me where I have made mistake.
In other image it can be seen that they just replied that I have violated their policy. But they have not have any proof and have not specified the mistake I did.
