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.

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.

Customer service is dishonest and not… Customer service is dishonest and not trustworthy. I tried to complain about the fake jobs posted on their platform. I just got blamed for responding to the fake jobs (when I did not know a lot of the posting their are fake. Then I told the that nonpaid clients should not be able to contact applicants. Instead I received a warning for responding to them

Upwork is a joke Upwork is a joke. We got scammed and opened a dispute. The scammer is not responding and Upwork is literally saying "he is not responding so we are closing your dispute in his favor"...

site that extracts data and money Freelancers have to make a public profile with a photo of their face, first name and city, which is enough information to identify you if you live in a smaller town or just have an unique name - at the same time it doesn't influence scammers with a very common name or those who are unreachable anyway. Clients don't have to do the same and there are lots of scams. You need to pay upwork to apply for jobs, so freelancers are basically paying to get scammed. At the same time, actual clients aren't happy with the results, as the site focuses more on people's appearance and names (this whole site looks like Facebook), rather than verifying their portfolio and work experience. It is a perfect place to mine data though.
