When you accept a proposal, you deposit the agreed amount via PayPal to the escrow system. Funds are held and released to the freelancer only when you approve the delivered work.
For freelancers: 5% up to $500 USD, 10% from $500–$5,000 USD, 15% above $5,000 USD. For clients: posting is free.
All freelancers go through a KYC (Know Your Customer) process where we verify their identity with official documents before activating their profile.
