Unfair & Expensive Platform Upwork is not a great place for freelancing. Everything is getting expensive. 3$ just to apply to a job. Not happy with this platform.

Absolute Nightmare!! I paid for a 30 minute consultation with J. M., a grant writer. She didn't show up! Finding a solution on their corn-maze of a website was futile. Apparently if **I** file a dispute, it automatically goes to the freelancer! She's the one who didn't show up!! I finally managed to get to a live chat agent and it took him 40 minutes to only tell me the same thing and that he had to **manually** raise a ticket to send to the Dispute Team. This sounds like an absolute scam. I'll take it up with my bank and dispute the charge. Sounds like this freelancer has found a loophole on how to make money. Shameful!

tl;dr Upwork simply dont. tl;dr Upwork simply dont. Upwork is a very bad place to work with clients. I tried to offer severl projects. As soon as one project was accepted by a freelancer the site suspended my profile. Support is not helping at all. Their responses are not related to the issue. Verification process is failing for unknown reasons, no feedback. Tickets are marked as solved without being. Communication with freelancer who started with the project is not possible, as they Upwork denies any communication. Long story short, i went to another site which is much better.

Upwork is nest of scammers The freelance site upwork.com is a joke; it's absolutely full of scammers. It seems that anyone from India, Pakistan, or other places with just a device can call themselves a full-stack developer. They promise you everything, but in the end, they are at most, at best, high school graduates who happen to have a computer. Do NOT, I repeat, let yourself be scammed like I was for thousands of US dollars. Contacting Upwork is not possible, and if you complain about a freelancer and give them one or two stars, they can also rate the client with a star. Do you understand that? I will advise everybody to stay away from it

Great services. Great services. I am buying on UpWork for 2 years now, and never got dissapointed. Yesterday I received my last order (job completed) and I am more then satisfied. Looking forward for a even longer relationship.
