Close the loop fairly

Reviews and disputes are built around completed escrow jobs, not anonymous ratings from strangers. Read the community guidelines.

Two-way reviews

After escrow completes, customer and talent each review the other. Reviews are tied to real jobs. Recent performance weighs more in search ranking. Bad-faith reviews can hurt the reviewer. More in FAQs.
