GET A FREELANCER TO DO WORK FOR FREE WITH FREELANCER.COM. This is what has happened to me. I did a job, got paid by the Employer who released the funds, I applied to Freelancer to withdraw them, Freelancer approved, I withdrew the money. A month later, Freelancer deducts the money from my account, as apparently there is a problem with the Employer's account. This means that Freelancer.com NEVER guarantees that you will be paid. They can withdraw the money from your account at any time, from a totally separate job, which is what you have done with me. Only the Freelancer loses. The Employer gets their work for free. Freelancer got the interest on my funds, not to mention my commission. I get nothing. In fact, I am now in DEBT to Freelancer for over 300 Euro, for work I have done, and been paid for. I have asked for the funds to be reversed to me. Freelancer is not interested. SO, if you are an EMPLOYER, pay. Then dispute it. And the money gets deducted off the freelancer's account.
