Am not sure why my withdrawal is taking so much time to reach my Paypal because of this I have not been able to work properly. I tried contacting the support like 3-4 times and they just replied each time I have to wait its almost 4 days now and no reply yet this really poor piece of work? I did my work well and my clients appreciated that as well and they paid me back and when am trying to withdraw they are delaying it? Finally when I contacted them they are saying there is some Engineering problem with withdrawal request?

I would like to caution anyone considering using Freelancer.com that your money may be taken, and your account could be closed without any apparent reason. Despite using their service multiple times and depositing funds to avoid transaction fees, I encountered issues when seeking a refund after finding a cheaper alternative elsewhere. Freelancer.com insisted on an extensive document exchange process over several months, leading to the closure/suspension of my account along with my funds. Faced with unresolved customer service issues, I am left with no choice but to report this matter to the government overseeing the company's legal operations. Learn from my experience, take your money elsewhere, and spare yourself the hassle. Despite numerous emails to customer service, my concerns remain unaddressed.

Verified Freelancer Team
July 21, 2020
Updated review

I had a short call with Chelsea for verification, the call was professional, and friendly and she is highly skilled at showing customer care and taking immediate action to solve problems.

This is a review of Chelsea in person

As for Freelancer.com I still do not like the website and see it as a mediocre platform that deserves two stars maximum

Date of experience: June 21, 2020

Freelancer.com deducted USD 100 from my account after it was paid to me as a First Milestone from an Employer on Freelancer.com.

When I asked why? their agent said it's because the Employer has not verified their account.

Why is it any of my business? It's my hard-earned fee, I worked, I got paid, I'm verified.

I have a verified account on Freelancer.com, that's as far as I'm concerned and it's Freelancer.com who should verify employers not me, moreover they should guarantee payment if the client fails to pay.

The Freelancer.com representative literally wrote that I should contact "My employer" as if this relationship was not mediated by Freelancer.com. They are not "my employer" they are a "Freelancer.com account" who hired me according to Freelancer.com terms and conditions.

Also, I have been paid before by unverified employers.

Once the money is in my account as a payment for my hours of work, it's my money not the employer's, you can't punish me because you failed to verify a third party.

When I contacted the employer he said that the money was not returned to his credit card, so basically it's withheld by Freelancer.com and I'm supposed to beg to follow their rules which they failed to do in the first place. What if he doesn't after happily receiving the service? Freelancer.com gets to keep it to themselves? which is exactly what happened. And by the way they had already charged me for the project fee, so I paid a fee for a payment, that was not received.

If I had know that this would happen after I received my milestone, I would have never continued working on the project.

How do we know that Freelancer.com isn't creating fake employer accounts to makes us work and think that we got paid, then scam us out of our fees?

Moreover, the agent closed the ticket against my will after the attached screenshot.

It's harder than I thought to get projects!
March 24, 2024

Frankly, I'm having a hard time getting jobs within Freelancer. Although there are many jobs in demand that I understand I would be qualified to solve, I never have the opportunity to be chosen. I suppose that by not having prior qualifications, when choosing the proponent they always play it safe. Likewise, in a positive way, I note that the page puts me in tune with job applications, and the level of training required by the jobs. It forces me to train in other areas, deepen my own knowledge and improve my level of English, among other things.
