While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Unresolved payment dispute
Unresolved payment dispute and disappointing customer support
I am extremely disappointed with my experience using Freelancer.com.
My account was restricted, and I have been trying to obtain a satisfactory explanation regarding the actual reason for the restriction, outstanding earnings and payments affected by disputes.
I have contacted Freelancer’s support team on multiple occasions, including follow-up emails, but the matter remains unresolved.
As a freelancer, I invested considerable time and effort completing work for clients. It is incredibly frustrating to experience payment uncertainty while struggling to obtain clear communication and accountability from the platform.
My main concerns are:
* The restriction placed on my account.
* Outstanding earnings that have not been satisfactorily accounted for.
* Insufficient transparency regarding payment reversals and withheld funds.
* Repeated follow-ups without a satisfactory resolution.
I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking for a transparent explanation, a proper account reconciliation and the release of any earnings lawfully owed to me. I don’t even want the restrictions lifted as I am not interested in using the platform again.
I hope Freelancer.com takes this complaint seriously and provides a fair resolution.
Until then, I would advise other freelancers to carefully consider the risks associated with relying on this platform for their income.

Funds locked 20 days after release due to client KYC; support agents Lance & Rex disconnected chats
Freelancer.com penalizes innocent freelancers for client compliance failures.
A client released a milestone payment on October 15, 2026 after work was completed. After keeping the funds cleared for nearly 20 days my standard withdrawal request was abruptly canceled and a negative balance was placed on my account because the client did not complete an ID/selfie verification.
When contacting live support, agents Penny, Lance, and Rex all explicitly admitted on record that I did nothing wrong and made no mistakes. Yet my earned money remains locked.
Worse support agent LANCE abruptly left the chat mid-conversation without answering. When I opened another chat to follow up agent REX refused escalation to a supervisor, refused to provide official complaint channels and forcibly closed the chat as well.
Withholding earned funds for weeks after release and dismissing users via tier-1 support is unacceptable. Project ID: 40765750 ; 40764113.
I expect senior management to look into this unfair clawback and agent misconduct.
Awesome Experience
it was great support.thank you!
