| Feb 24, 2017 at 21:27 | comment | added | user45623 | @lewis Payment before product is not any safer than product before payment, it just reverses the risk. What if the freelancer just lies and says they have completed the work when they actually haven't? How could the client possibly know for sure that the work is completed if the freelancer hasn't delivered the final version yet? | |

| Feb 24, 2017 at 9:15 | comment | added | lewis | @user45623 I wasn't aware of that but will keep that in mind when dealing with freelance websites in the future. However payment before product is always the safest of the two transactions (escrow's better than both) as it is much less likely that a freelancer is going to run with the money after doing the work. that isn't an ideal scam, to perform all the work then take the money and trash the work? where as it's much more profitable to lead a freelancer into providing work without paying for it. but yea, as you said an escrow is the best for both parties | |

| Feb 24, 2017 at 7:09 | comment | added | user3244085 | The freelancer sites I worked with have a safety feature for exactly this: if you deliver then after X amount of time without reply from the client the funds will be released / transferred. | |

| Feb 23, 2017 at 21:08 | comment | added | user45623 | @lewis Some of the freelance sites require you to turn in the finished product before payment, and anyone the client asks for advice is going to tell him 'never pay the freelancer until you have the finished product'. The best solution is to use escrow. | |
| Feb 23, 2017 at 17:15 | comment | added | lewis | I'm unfamiliar with the safety precautions used by these freelance sites, and whether or not you've used them. But as a note for the future, never provide the finished product before payment, you MUST ensure that the desire to pay you is mutual. The client has no reason for interest in paying you if they have the product, regardless of how moral they are. Paying you is not a business priority for them as they have everything they need and can take as long as they want tying up the loose ends for all they care. | |
