We won't release the payment to the seller until your job is satisfactorily completed.

Sellers

Post up your service (''gig'') for users to view. When a user decides they want to purchase your service, they will fill out a task request with any special instruction they’d like to give you. Both you and the buyer will be sent a confirmation email along with contact details. You can then contact the user with details on how they should transfer payment to you.

After you have received payment from the buyer, mark the task request as Paid. Then, when you have completed work on the task, mark it as Completed. The user will verify that you have completed the task and mark it as Confirmed.
