Great place to buy papers. Good pricing - u can get 2-page fodder in a day for 10 bucks or pay a good writer to proofread your thesis.

Theyre not quite as open about their commission rates as they should be, but their services are solid.

Been using them for 2 years. Everythings fine. Youre picking one of gazillion writers. They have ratings, reviews, etc. You give the instructions to your writer and chat with them on the site, privately. They have to give you regular updates too. Yeah, the commission is a bit steep. You wouldnt expect them to work for free though.

StudyBay Site
June 26, 2017

I came across this site and was thrilled at first as I learned they write papers for you. They throw a $5 off coupon your way to try and reel you in. It seemed great at first. I submit instructions for my essay and immediately got spammed hardcore with a ton of messages (+50) from "people" who work at StudyBay. I viewed many of the offers, trying to decide which one seemed most suitable for me but began to question if they were even real people or not because all of them would use the word "kindly", use the same exact paragraph when messaging the first time, and/or speak weird English. Many of them also threw the same offer ($5 per page) at me which gave me even more reason to believe that this site is just a big SCAM. All of the so called "people" on there sound like BOTS or someone from out of country. Trust me, you are better off writing your own paper even if it is $#*!ty, because then at least you won't be losing any money! Either that or you could hire someone you know personally and who is reliable. I wrote a 5 page paper for a friend for $10 and had it done within two days and she came out with an A+ and was SO happy. I should've charged more lol but i figured I'd give her a discount since she was a friend.

I initially signed up to write for students since I am an accomplished writer/author, but I realized writing FOR students does not do them any good, they need to do the research and do their own writing, with help, but NOT done for them. I believe it's called cheating. Having papers written for them won't help them on the job; if they can't write a decent paper for their school paper how in the world will they succeed in a job setting where writing is part of it, unless they choose a job that does not require writing! I feel sorry for students who want/need a writer to do their hard work for them. I am happy to help any student with their paper as a freelance writer but I won't do it for them. Teachers should give a failing grade on papers to students who have a writer do their papers. Of course, how are the teachers going to know! I wonder if parents know their student is doing this?

So no responses and you guys really like to ignore emails and just walk away after getting the money? You guys are not responsible at all and have a very bad customer service, https://studybay.com/noplagiarism/, check this website out, you guys are responsible for checking my paper not myself and don't try to blame me for taking all the responsibilities.

To be honest, Imagine that you received a plagiarized paper and get punished by dean office by spending a hundred bucks on a plagiarism paper, will you guys be mad?

Students - you should be ashamed of yourself for cheating on your papers. And, writers, you should be ashamed for helping students to cheat! This is ethically wrong. Please stop.

Terrible experience
March 27, 2017

I have used studybay a few times because I have gotten two wonderful writers who had just started. However, since they have left I have tried three more and all three times were horrible. Plagiarized paper, terrible sentence structure, and poor grammar. I asked for help because writing is my weakness I can admit I am terrible but when paying for an "experienced" writer one would expect the best. I have had to ask for corrections so many times that I ended in asking for a refund, of course, I did not receive it back and writing the paper myself. Please save yourself the hassle and never use this site. These writers are from other countries who cannot write English the way it needs to be written. Lastly, Studybay does not help with issues the way they portray to.

I have used them 1 time and never again. Scott1 was my writer and the paper was so poorly written my instructor couldn't even finish it. Like other reviews have pointed out the writers use extra spaces and misspelled words to get around turn it in as flagging it as plagiarism. The paper was to be in APA format and it was not I had to reformat it. I also corrected many spelling errors and still didn't get them all as my instructor found more. When asking for a partial refund I was denied because I didn't send it back for revision. What a JOKE. StudyBay should be shut down. After reading the review about getting a refund from paypal-I now wish I would have used my paypal account and not my bank account. I will definitely be watching my bank account closely to assure no other funds are taken. I received a grade of 109/150. How is that quality work?

Quality Work and on time
February 21, 2017

I had a paper that was due in three hours and i thought i would not manage to do it on time... therefore, i gave it to one of the writers on studybay and she produced extremely quality work. Good sentence structure with 0% plagiarism. I am still overwhelmed by the quality of the work. I would recommend the writer any time. Here is the link to her profile. https://studybay.com/authors/*******/

SCAM! STAY AWAY!
January 11, 2017

Quality of paper is not what you expect. Grammer, sentence structure, and even format are not followed. Most writers just bid on your assignment without even reading your instructions. Not matter how much detail you give them, it is not used. You are 100% better off writing your own paper. They will NOT, I repeat, NOT refund your money. They do not abide by their own posted rules. They are there to protect the writers horrible work. Stay away from Profliz1 especially if you are going to use this site. Many of the writers state they have masters degree in something related to english, but many cannot even spell correctly. Keep in mind this website originates in Russia, and there is very little legal action you can take besides going to your bank to dispute the charge.

If you do use this site, keep in mind they use filler words and spacing. It keeps it off the plagiarized sites like turn it in, but when you edit those mistakes, it will find them. Studybay will not refund a paper that was plagarized either.

Great but has frictions
December 29, 2016

I am a writer at Studybay. I love the fact that there are jobs almost every time. What I don't love with the site is lack of proper controls especially when it comes to who posts a job. I have come to realize that there are so many idlers posting jobs. I remember a certain client who was looking for a 3-page essay. I placed a bid on that order and I was ready to complete the work for $15. The client was insisting on paying only $5 for the whole work. I told him there's no client who could write 3 pages for $5. He then started asking me whether I can be his sexual partner. I was taken aback cause I didn't expect the chat to take that direction. I checked the other people who had placed their bids and realized that he was only replying to female writers with pretty faces with obscene comments. I think he's a pervert of some sort or someone who's undergoing adolescence. It's pretty easy to place an order on Studybay. You don't need to load money to your virtual account when posting an order. You only need to have money in your client account when you are hiring a writer. That means that anyone can post a job even when they know that they won't hire anyone. The administrators should do something to make sure that those who post jobs are serious enough.

All writers are schemers and they say their going to give you a good paper but no, they deliver late and a VERY unprofessional paper. Not only that, but they say they'll fix it but make the paper ever worse than it already was, wait till your warrenty is out then take your money and leave you with the worst paper ever. DO NOT, i REPEAT DO NOT. THIS SITE IS A SCAM FOR SURE
