I accidentally subscribed to a corporate membership and was charged for a few months. I reached out to Freelancer's owner, Matt, through their dedicated forum that allows direct communication with him—a feature I truly appreciate as it creates a sense of community and connection. I'm glad to share that the support team resolved my issue and refunded the last three membership payments. I've been working on Freelancer since 2016—nearly 9 years now. While I've encountered a few issues with the platform over the years, I've noticed steady improvements. I genuinely hope that the chargeback issue, which remains one of the most frustrating aspects, will also be addressed soon. Thank you!

Changes to my contest
May 22, 2025

It's my first time using freelancer and I put out a contest however I wasn't receiving anything original, most ideas were generated from chatgpt and the freelancers didn't only completed one element of the task. I messaged freelancer and Hope was amazing, she offered how Freelancer could support me and gave me suggestions. If in doubt always good to speak to someone, and always read what the clauses are before launching the project or contest.

Je déconseille très fortement ce freelancer. J'ai payé trois phases pour la création d'un site web professionnel, et à l'arrivée, j'ai reçu un site inutilisable, totalement bâclé et incohérent, qui ne respecte ni mes consignes ni les standards de base. Les deux premières phases semblaient à peu près correctes, mais à la dernière, tout est parti en vrille:
Le site livré n'a plus rien à voir avec ce qui avait été convenu. Le tableau de bord a disparu. Les couleurs choisies ensemble ont été changées. Aucune des vidéos, images, PDF, textes que j'ai fournis n'a été intégré. Il a mis sa propre vidéo, en anglais (!), à la place de la mienne (alors que le site devait être en français). Il y a des textes absurdes et des images déplacées (ex.: une sirène nue pour illustrer l'alphabet arabe!). Des témoignages fictifs ont été ajoutés sans mon accord. Des liens sont morts, y compris vers mes réseaux sociaux. Mon email professionnel n'a pas été intégré, alors que j'ai donné toutes les infos. Mais le pire, c'est que ce n'est même pas lui qui fait le travail: il sous-traite à une autre personne sans le dire au client. Et ce sous-traitant m'a contactée personnellement pour me dire qu'il n'avait pas été payé par le freelancer… C'est pourquoi il a délibérément saboté le site, en me disant texto que « ce n'était plus son problème ». Résultat: j'ai perdu du temps, de l'argent et beaucoup d'énergie pour un site qui ne peut absolument pas être mis en ligne en l'état. Ce freelancer ne travaille pas lui-même, n'assume rien, et met en danger votre projet avec des pratiques douteuses.
Je vous recommande vivement de l'éviter si vous ne voulez pas être pris au piège comme moi.
