#2I have no experience with freelancer or any of the similar platforms. What precipitated the whole issue? That is glossed over completely, but it seems very material to the situation.

#3Can someone with experience explain how freelancer.com works and how the account holds work?

#4This is why I only take clients from there and make em pay me in either bitcoin, paypal or skrill (after project completion of course) the people that own and work on this site are just too sketchy, acting like gangsters more than a firm and I wouldn't trust them with my money.

basically you get a job from there, client makes a project offer, you accept the project from their interface and your funds go in escrow. Except sometimes the support people there feel like taking 30$ and 50$ here and either make up excuses or straight up take your cash without explaining themselves.

#7It’s an emotional post and doesn’t really explain what happened.
But I’m sure all these freelance hub sites playing escrow etc there’s a lot of stuff going wrong.
Using these to get work would be really my plan-d.

#9Can someone with experience explain how freelancer.com works and how the account holds work?
Account hold usually means that the person cannot withdraw their funds. According to this text, it looks like "on-hold" accounts cannot start new projects too. Effectively last step before the complete ban and a nice way to say GTFO.

#10I don't understand why he would blame Freelancer and not himself. How do you even sleep at night if you rely completely on one platform? It's also widely known that all those sites suck and the same story happens over and over again.
