Withdrawal delays are worst part of Scriptlance

Feature 1. The facility to Freeze a Programmer who is not really a Programmer but another site offering similar facilities to Scriptlance.

This will enable buyers to stop misuse of scriptlance my other companies trying to take advantage.

The frozen programmer would have the chance to appeal (They never will if they are a spammer) if they think this was a malicious action.

This will stop me getting offers from outside sites.

Idea 2.

Shout out.

For individuals bidding on projects it would be helpfull to have an option where you can send a message to all bidding and message board posters with updated answers or messages about the project.

This improves communication and stops having to send individual messages which are identical to explain changes or additions.

Hi,
In my personal opinion the staff here respond too slow and take too long to resolve things that should be simple enough. I have been here for a long time and this is one of the few things that disappoint me.

For example, now I have a project with funds sitting in escrow and the buyer posts that he is satisfied, marks the project as completed but does not complete payment.
What I would expect:
1)Staff verify work and PMB
2)try contacting buyer
3)after 3-7 days or a reasonable time for a response release the escrow.

What actually happened:
1)Staff send buyer email, no response
2)asked to wait 7 days
3)ask again for status after 10 days
3)Staff email buyer again and ask to wait for 72 hours,
4)ask for status after 5 days
5)Staff suspend buyer
6)Ask for release of escrow
7)Staff say the escrow will be held for 6 MONTHS before they release it for SECURITY reasons [the payment had a score of 350-excellent].
8)I have just asked WHY the cash should be held for 6 months and what is the use of escrow if we are going to have a hassle with the escrow provider leave alone the buyer.

This is not a lone incident and there are several cases where a simple resolution like a forum account not working take over 6 months.

Why are you complicating the process when you actually need to simplify it? This only increases the work in having back and forth conversations and long ques of unresolved issues.

And Rene, you advertise $500,000/Month in billings which if true means you make around $25,000/month in commisions. I am sure after the infrastructure and maintainance you still make good profits, wouldn't it be worth to look into these key issues like quicker withdrawals, quicker resolutions by maybe hiring or automating processes which are sure to bring much more work and revenue?

Several times happened, Buyer files became corrupt for download. For example downloading file at Project ID: 1329984407. Thanks

Payment Method Should be also on "Alertpay" Because Not enough people Account PayPal or Money Booker and and Bank Wire Should be At least $200 Not $500...

We have had a lot of companies tryng to divert us on to other sites which offer services similar to scriptlance. I think a button which can be clicked to alert scriptlance and freeze the 'bidder' until they prove they are not touting for business this will of course never happen. It is annoying to see board posts from these cheats.

i think that Scriptlance should change the way that contests works and force the buyer to choose a winner and pay to  him, if not they can steal ideas, it is like a free brainstorm...

After reading all of the negitive comments I don't think I should use this site, a few programers are practicly beging for the upfront cost, I feel uncomfortable with this watererd down verison of Guru that does little to protect the buyer.

This is the only site that the Feedback is been responded by the Owner himself.  Each & every Scriptlance user's suggestions are considered.  WHAT AN IDEA SIR.... !!!!

It should be possible to sort the Reviews for freelancer/buyer X based on any Column Heading, for example "Bid". Today, when reading the Reviews, all data (Rating, Project, Date, Bid etc.) are in chronological order, i.e. a fixed list with the lastest Review at the top.

Please remove the system of charging fee at starting of project & apply it when the project is completed.

When any programmer is awarded with the project he may be alerted with an SMS on his/her mobile to attend/accept the project. Whenever any programmer/buyer receives any mail he may be alerted that he/she has received a mail from so and so user.
