| Question: What is refundable fee and how does it work? |
| Answer: Buyers are required to pay a REFUNDABLE $5 fee, when they post a project on GetAFreelancer.com. This fee is REFUNDED as soon as provider accepts to do a project OR when the project is cancelled properly. If you don't find anyone, who can do the project you will cancel it from Buyer Activity page and the fee will be REFUNDED to your GAF account. Project must be cancelled within 30 days after bidding has closed. We will ONLY keep this fee and don't refund it, when a buyer doesn't follow our TOS. For example, when someone posts a commercial for his company or when someone adds his contact information to the project description. The goal is to be able to refund all of these fees. By paying refundable fee service buyers show that they are able to fund their GAF account. The advantage for serious buyers is obvious - less invalid projects that take time and energy from providers. |
