You mean it's not a big deal to wait 2-4 weeks while they *verify* you or your customer with whom you had a project long time ago?
Oh, no. Despite Freelancer.com surely keeps its word about withdrawal processing time, it's most horrible freelancer site otherwise. 

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.

Don't panic. $2500 is Payoneer daily spending limit. Partner loads are likely limited by max card capacity only which is $10000 by the way.
So funny, this error is still there after almost half a year
Heh, everybody knows those $10 bids with comments like "dear sir..."

Or:
4. Do not allow bids lower than minimum budget.
5. Set min bid allowed to $50-$100.
6. Limit monthly bid count available for a user.
7. Ban users for stupid/copied bid comments not related to the specific project description.
Yes, but this option will also make more others avoiding new buyers even if they don't really intend to. Just because they played with options or presence of the option made them thinking that something is wrong with new buyers and they have to avoid them as others do. It will also make new buyers feel uncomfortable.

There's nothing wrong with new buyers. Just ask for 100% escrow and that's it.

Seriously, you don't remember projects you bid on?

Are you of those who place $10 bid for almost any project waiting for a foolish buyer to cop it?

If nobody would work for new buyers, how new buyers will get a review?
I think we have to welcome newcomers not avoiding them (even though we don't know how honest they are)
Why not just add AJAX update/sounds to existing PMB?
Oh no, I hate being constantly interrupted by IM so limited my availability to Gtalk and only for regular customers and long term projects.
If it will appear on SL, I'll definitely turn it off.
