I experimented with a small project worth Rs. 630 INR @ freelancer.com this time and had to effectively pay a bit more than I expected: around 32% more. Most people write blog posts when they are not happy with something. This is not such a blog post against freelancer.com and I am still a freelancer member. I evaluate sites such as these and state facts mainly for my students. I had come to know about freelancer through facebook ads.
