You also have to watch out for some of the India employers that want something for nothing. I also had one that never paid me, so then I wised up and watched closer to the reviews and checked their names for how many posts they had and how much it may have repeated.
Thanks for this referral. I just signed up last night and got a job! I'll let you know if this works for me...I am editing a University research project (I have 10 years' experience in this field) for 3 days for $125. Freelancer is charging me 10% referral fee. They are paying through PayPal.
