Slow to respond

This issue was resolved but it took quite a while. Perhaps because of COVID-19 issues with small staff?

I needed some quick cash, and signed on to Freelancer to earn it. After winning a bid, Freelancer immediately withdrew their 10% from my bank account - an unpleasant surprise, but digging deeply enough, I found this policy in their terms of service. Oh, well.

I completed the job for the employer (who paid promptly and gave me a 5-star review) and tried withdraw funds to my bank account, which is where the trouble really started.

There is a 15 day hold on the first transaction "for security purposes", though the work I'd done had already been delivered and paid for by the employer. This left me down $20, and waiting for over 2 weeks to get paid - not much help in my cash-strapped position.

I'd asked for a partial payment, leaving $50 in my Freelancer account to cover the cost of any future bids, while I wrestled with whether I wanted to do any further business there. When I went to withdraw the rest of my funds, I was asked to re-verify my identity again (I'd had to do this in order to bid in the first place), with additional hoops to jump through - photos of my bills, the back of my ID card, pictures of me holding the ID card and a security code from them, etc. From other reviewers, I don't expect this to work - I figure that I've just lost the $50 in that account. Not a huge sum, but the inherent dishonesty would warn me away if it were only 50 cents. That they can surprise me by withdrawing funds at will from my bank account is something that I'll have to have my bank block - I don't trust them to not do it again.

Freelancer's fees on that $200 transaction were $20 from me, and another $14 that they were paid by the employer - a total of 17% of a 'finder's fee'. That's not a bad percentage, but that's not enough for them - they are prone to keeping even more whenever they can. "For security reasons". Roight.
