The main idea is that a buyer can post a project & interested bidders can make offers.
The ad can remain open up to a month & if the buyer feels comfortable contacting bidders in anyway, they are free to do so. And it's no problem that a buyer & bidder explore their options independently.
Buyers & Bidders are encouraged to start & conduct their work outside of the site & handle payments independently without site administration conducting a supervised approach & without site administration collecting large fees from the project.
Buyers and bidders are on their own in this way, without an arbitrator to resolve disputes, however it comes with the benefits of being able to handle projects independently.
An onsite escrow/payment system is available, however its use is completely voluntary & if used takes one flat fee amount of 10%.
In this way everyone working on a project does not feel over expensed & controlled with project payments & their communications.
