Kudos to GetAFreelancer.com
OK, I know I recently ripped on them, but this time I have something positive to say - sort of. I recently won a bid for $110, which I naturally accepted. Because GAF takes a 10% fee, they immdiate deducted $11.00 from my account. As soon as I realized this, I thought, “Oh crap!”, I could be a “Gold Member” for a month for $10 and save on all my fees.
So what I did, (and this is where GAF gets kudos) is send a help request to refund that amount saying I mean to sign up for the gold membership first and asked if they would refund my $11 fee. I then signed up for gold membership. I got my response a day later saying my account has been refunded. Cool!
Anyway, this is one thing that has been an annoyance to me about GAF, which is why before making a fee payming on Nerdlance.com, I give you options to pay your fees. These options are:
1. Join the Nerd Herd for $10.00 (then all fees are waived - basically like GAF gold membership)
2. Pay with PayPal (meaning you don’t have to pay extra for the PayPal fees, I eat them)
3. Pay with your NerdBucks account (which is the fastest & easiest way - and the only option available on GAF)
