Withdrawal should be completed on time. If you say 3 days it should be in 3 days.
Most of the time SL make delays to process withdrawal request. I think this need to be checked ASAP.

I am very unhappy.. My balance moved on Freelancers and I tried to make a withdrawal but its delayed about 15 days.It says "For security reasons your first withdrawal can take up to 15 days to complete. " This is really bad, its because this is not my first withdrawal since I made many before on Scriptlance! I asked to support team and they said " this is your first withdrawal on Freelancers, so its normal". I will open a ticket and wait...
Locking freelancer accounts for *verification* at the moment freelancer requested money withdrawal? Asking for user photos with ID in one hand and stupid number in the other? Locking ANY of freelancer withdrawals just because they *suspect* ONE of his customers made a fraudulent deposit 3 months ago?
Not even mentioning 2.3% deposit fees which are restricted by PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, etc.
Oh, no no no.
And here is the same or worst scenario you mention...
In all the marketplaces is the same, is the little "cost" for this kind of job.
Anyways send a copy of national ID and photo dont take me more than 5 minutes, and its only requested at the first time.
And you need to define "long time ago", both are already verified? both had previous payments before?? both have payment methods verified??both have worked before in freelancer? I have all of these and I dont have any problem since of beginning. Maybe you have bad luck..
"We both never previously passed the verification but does it matter at all? "
You are kidding me right? so both of you dont meet with the sites requirements and want the payment with no problems????? thats funny...
You wrote this:
" What if the client simply disappeared or refused to help with that? "
Aja.. so you take/accept projects from people with no payment method verified? I never do that.. so you take project with no escrow previously to accept it? Freelancer support that option... SL no..
So I think the problem is: you dont read the site rules!! and take sometime to plan your strategy to work in that place. With that politics freelancer assure to you then you dont will be scammed...in my point of view.
Where in the Freelancer.com's rules it is stated that developer or customer must pass the verification before having a project on the site? How on Earth can I pass it at the moment I want it and not at the moment they locked my account? You're cooking up new "rules" just like Freelancer.com support did when they said affiliates can't have projects with each other on their site (that's another issue I had during a very short period of time). Go figure where there is such a weird rule in their terms & conditions. Nowhere!
As for the customer, I'm not sure what "payment verified" means exactly on Freelancer.com (and I can't find a clear explanation in their docs, can you?). I received payments from the customer previously and later with no problem.
So, this is not me who got scammed, I just suffered from their feudal way of doing things and decided to go back to Scriptlance.
To close the subject, I just wanted to warn everybody that Freelancer.com have problems and catches worse than withdrawal delays. If you believe that your luck will save you from that, then go on your luck.
Delays in payments can appears in ANY website, not only in freelancer, I only said in that site I never suffer the same like here, where EVERY time I put a withdraw SL takes the time he wants...
Freelancer dont said you: dont accept projects from non verfied members. I dont do that or I take my owns security decisions and for me, works.
Use freelancer support to obtain more info about your doubts, I expend some time reading his FAQs helps, blog post and etc
Anyways you are free to work there or in other place. Good luck to you too.
No, you don't have to do a research for me))) There is no rule restricting affiliates from having projects with each other. I read those rules 10 times just to find out they simply lie to me.
I worked with the customer for more than a year here on Scriptlance and then about a month on Freelancer.com. If this is what you call "non verfied member", then what "verified member" stands for?
They simply were removing my withdrawal request w/o a notification to me or to the customer. Do you call such a behavior "Delays in payments"?
If you work here with that buyer for what reason you move to freelancer without know how that website works??
For your others questions, thats matter of freelancer and you, not mine, so if you dont like it dont work in that place.
For me this thread is clossed.
I moved to Freelancer.com because it seemed better for working to regular customers (it has "horly rate" project type and some invoicing system). Of course, I didn't have an idea they used to treat users as rightless animals. Can you imagine, they don't write it on the front page?)))
If you don't like Scriptlance withdrawal delays and like Freelancer.com so much, why did you stay on Scriptlance here until now?
