Easy way to work as a freelancer I use Workmarket as a work logging / payment system (instead of a work sourcing platform) and find it very useful. It's relatively straightforward to use, and payments - once approved - are paid into my PayPal account quite quickly (usually the same day). Not many of my clients use Workmarket, but I would happily use it for all my jobs. The only thing that lets it down is the fact it only uses dollars. A pound (GBP) option would be handy. If there is already an option I can't find it!

Worst Company ever Worst Company ever, support is completely useless and they don't talk to each other, even when a ticket is escalated. They delay paying funds, their website is full of bugs and give you platitudes on their service...FU

I got an email asking me to confirm my… I got an email asking me to confirm my account. Since I never signed up with the company I clicked the link "If you believe you received this message in error, click not my account.". Then they send and email thanking me for confirming my account. Some scam.

WorkMarket not responding about long payment delays WorkMarket not responding about long payment delays. I as well as others I know of have had their funds lost in limbo for 7 days now. 2 of these that I know of are over $3,000 each. Mine personally has been an ongoing position for almost 3 years with only one other glitch but it was fixed in 1 day. The buyer has approved the payment WorkMarket has some kind of glitch going on but will not even respond to the techs. The buyer has tried to contact them but they just gets generic responses stating that they are working on it. When the techs call they get a recording that states that no agents are available to call back later. or if some does answer they just tell you the developement team is working on it.

Deceptive work order wages I am thankful to be a part of a platform that allows people to connect with potential buyers to earn income. It has been freeing not being a part of it a traditional W2 work paradigm. What I have noticed happening though is potential buyers looking for skilled workers at bargain-basement prices. This business practice is generally accepted in a free market enterprise, but is also the source of my contention. My gripe is how buyers attract potential workers with often confusing and misleading wages. I've been afforded a few opportunities to speak with companies posting work on the platform, and have heard on more than one occasion the horror stories of some of the people they've contracted. This isn't surprising considering the way buyers bait a potential worker. Often times the wage will be presented as something like $165 (example). Sounds decent for a work order until you realize that the number represents a potential earning and not an actual earning. That $165 could be for up to 3 hours work. A dig deeper into the work order could unearth an "estimated" time for the job being less than what is being offered, say 1 hour. Now the advertised $165 went down to a likely $55! It is upsetting to see how deceptive the pricing really is. What makes it even more upsetting is when you place a counteroffer looking for the advertised price and are not awarded the job. This is what has prompted me to draft this complaint. The crux of my complaint is this: How is it okay to knowingly use deceptive pricing strategies? I have found that it pays better to accept jobs you are not qualified to do because they take longer to perform, which allows an opportunity to earn the amount advertised. If you happen to be adept at what you do, you make less because you don't require the entire time that has been allotted. Proof of this practice is evidenced by companies changing the work order's terms. I have applied for numerous jobs asking for the amount offered only to see the job details get changed. This means they couldn't find someone to perform the work for less than what was advertised. It's unfortunate there is so much dishonesty out there. It's a shame a gentlemanly agreement to render work isn't enough or even honored anymore, but what is even more disheartening is this platform allowing these conditions to breed this kind of environment. Furthermore, it is sad for a business relationship to be predicated upon a foundation of lies and distrust. In today's economic times, transparency should be the norm, not the exception.
