About 2 weeks ago I posted a website design project on GetAFreelancer.com and received many bids. Most of the bidders had no feedbacks but after a few days I received a bid from a company in India with over 600 positive feedbacks and an almost perfect feedback score so I chose them. Their bid for the project was $250, about the same as the other foreign providers.
I received an email from them the first day: it was a link to a website where I could monitor the progress on the project. I posted on it but never got any reply and never saw any progress. I sent emails but never got any answer. 1 day after the deadline, I received this message: "I issued a full refund for this project since i am not in a position to start. " :mad::mad::mad:
Since the site already charged me their fee for choosing a provider, I asked the costumer service how to change provider without having to post another project and pay the fee again. A few hours later, they gave me a link that allowed me to do that and now I will have to wait 2-3 days in order to select another provider. A project that was supposed to get done within 8 days will now take over 1 month to finish...
