The problem with this platform is they do not really much for freelancers.

Freelancing platform exist to connect client and freelancer and give a secure space for both.
How can it be that client post a job, freelancer accept, client set milestone and freelancer start working.
Freelancer finishes the job, client release the milestone and now the trouble starts for the freelancer. Seems that the client did set the milestone paid from a account from another name. freelencer.com holding the funding of the freelancer that completed the job. Now this could take months to resolve or maybe even closed resulting in the freelancer not getting paid.

Very important logic here, freelancer.com knows from the start that the payment is done from wrong account and still let the freelancer start/finish the job.

For me this resulted in getting removed from the preferred freelancer program, a fine of 20% project fees and 1 month account lock because I asked the client to pay me outside of freelancer.com.

Next problem, I had a client from outside of this platform, who already had funding in freelancer.com and wanted to hire me inside this platform, we naturally we communicated outside the platform as we already did before. Once I finished the job and the client released the milestone freelancer.com decided to lock my fund and asking the client same question over and over again, until it took almost 3 months to finally get my money. This resulting in another ban because I got angry and messaged accordingly.

This platform is by far the biggest out there, personally I hope other platforms will over grow freelancer.com because its a bad place to conduct business.

It's a little clunky at first, a bit laggy here and there and getting the right bids takes a bit of time but once it gets going money happens :)
