From what I have heard from some freelancers, Upwork is not where you want to go if you are looking for a client. It would seem as if they are actively trying to find reasons to let freelancers do work for their client for the pre-arranged amount of money but later, when the job is done and the payment is sent, they start coming up with reasons to not pay and to "verify" people's identities and overall just make it a pain to actually get paid. The amount of hoops you have to go through definitely raises some red flags for the site, and I would recommend everyone to look elsewhere.
To clarify, this is about the site itself, not OP. The fact that OP is selling this kind of tells you the kind of system they have, though.
@btcton , i've worked with them year's back when it's called odesk.Now with the merging of elance & odesk to form upwork it's not a longer a decent workplace for freelancer. All you see is verification of identity And, their system seem to be more security concious when compare to paypal.
Thanks
