For Buyers
Buyers: Post your development projects to be bid for free. No escrow accounts or hidden fees. Buyers have the means to post closed bids. It's easy to post your Project. Once logged in, in your Account Manager there is a link provided which guides you through the process. Feel free to post as many different projects as you need. You are free to post projects using sealed bids. Only yourself and the Freelancer who Bid can see that amount. We have provided a Private Message Board (PMB) to discuss your project with Freelancers who have bid on it. Once you have chosen the Freelancer for your project, you will fill out a Contract Development Spec (CDS) which includes all the pertinent information, and forms a legal binding document. Once you submit the CDS, the system saves this as a PDF file, and the project is awarded to the chosen Freelancer. In turn, the Freelancer receives email notification and is required to fill out the remaining portions of the CDS. The PDF is saved, and is always available for download. Once you've awarded a Project, you and the Freelancer are free to establish the method of payment, both before and after the project has been completed. Unlike other services, MacFreelancer remains a neutral party. We do not require escrow accounts, nor hold monies earmarked for payment. This allows us to keep the transfer of funds totally free to you. At the Freelancers and Buyers option, MacFreelancer shall act as a PayPal fiduciary interface for the limited purpose of collecting and disbursing funds.
