review within 14 days after the time the first review was submitted.

What is Gold membership?


To be in a Gold membership means to become a Gold member. Gold members are
marked with special sign. Being Gold member gives you special privileges:
you may pay only monthly fees (12$) and no commissions on the completed
projects. That is good both for service buyers and service providers.
Service buyers could save money. As for service providers they will be able
to bid lower. What is more Gold members are more reliable cause they have
long time commitments with GetAFreelancer.com.


Why can't I find the option to rate a GAF member?


Feedback can be left only when project is completed and paid in full
(according to the provider's bid) via GAF. If the provider is paid less
than his bid via GAF payment system, the feedback option won't be
activated. Therefore we recommend both bidder and buyer to reach mutual
agreement on the final bid BEFORE choosing the winner (buyers) and BEFORE
accepting the project (providers) to be able to leave feedbacks after.
In October, 2008 we introduced an option for buyers to leave incomplete
project reports. If you are the buyer and you don't see the option, please
check the time when the project was accepted. This option is available for
all projects posted since October, 7 2008.
