@ everybody , I want to know if GTBank will charge an amount on my account for using my master card to make upgrade payment on freelancer's site hope to get your response soon thank you

Yes now....won't you pay for the service you're buying? So, they will remove the dollar equivalent. If there is no money in your acct, transaction won't be successful.

ranson:
Please house help a newbie. I don't know if I'm the one that is yet to understand FL site or may be my browser is not good enough. I used Google chrome and later Mozilla but yet the website seem not to be users friendly. I could not even sigh up talkless of bidding. Someone should place help with useful info.

It is a thing I know ranson, FL site is not light, not user friendly. It is too heavy, they need to lighten it up a bit. Perhaps dues to much files sha...unlike other freelancing sites. Even before it was redesigned, same problem. Even after, there are no improvements. You must have a good connection before you can acces it oo...I use Mozilla sometimes and it opens, most often I use opera browser. But let me ask you. Which ISP do you use to browse?

@ everybody I have a question,does Freelancer require a secure code while trying to pay for the $5 upgrade test? Am asking this question because I was at GTB Bank today to get my token but they claimed it wasn't available ,so I want to know if it is possible to use my GTB Debit card on freelancer without a token as I have to make payment on the freelancer site to get started. Waiting for your response thank you.

no need for token on FL. I use GTBank too. Carry on. FL wey no dey waste time to deduct

I hear you. That's why I will have to keep some things hidded till I pen them down. But am not scared of him tho. Like the brother above said he's overratted. God ill soon bruise satan under my feet! Amen.
I fear God instead. But thatnks for ur advice tho.

like you said, you shouldn't be scared. Even satan is not afraid if you broadcast it on CNN, you know why? He have this kind of confidence in what he did to man. Hear they won't hear, see they won' t see...the god of this world has blinded people's eyes that they won't behold the truth. That's it. What he did was to actually put man in prison and hand the key to the prison in man's hand. So, man has been protecting the prison he is a captive of.

My brother other things I have hidden conerns islam. But assure that I won't be banned then I'll say everytin!

And you're right he's a lier.
He also said they (angels) hate him because he killed someone! I started lafin. I asked him who he killed and he said that he was the 1st person to kill.
I thought I knew ho it was so I said its definately Abel the brother of Cain. But he said no. That Abel was not the 1st to experience death!
And Cain was not the 1st to kill someone. He said he invented death! He was the 1st to kill many people massively!
And he told me about the war before the creation of Adam.

It is true..Abel wasn't the first. When Jesus said satan was a murderer from the beginning. He knew what He was saying. I have said it many times on this forum. He first murdered(self suicide sort of) himself, then killed others angels (from the seraphs downward to the stars of God). That killing(death) is not literal as we have in the realm of men but he killed the Life of Elohim in these angels which he did by colonizing them with his own knowledge. Lucifer gave them his own light and removed the light of God in them. Thereby, he brought them to death, almost all, except some who refused. Then the war broke out, the war for the position of Adonnai.

PasD:
Ok.
Let me talk about him living in Europe.
Many people think satan lives in Africa. Possible because of the level of violence and corruption here. But the truth is, satan revealed that he lives in Europe!

And then he told me that humans owe him apologies! That they ofter accuse him of the crimes he didn't commit! Can u imagine that?
But hey, I saw his hate for humans. No matter how he tried to hide it, I saw his hate for humans.
He said to me that his greatest fear is in the future (I'm yet to find out what that means though)

When I gather the courage I will talk about his connection with islam. But I'm careful I dnt want to be banned.

The greatest fear of the future for him is Rev 12, when that happens, Lake is nearer for him. Simple.

guys, shey if i finish an employer's job, na just to send am for am via that dialogue box wey men and am use the chat abi? abeg make una tell me make i submit my work.

Yes

I should have done that too, but it is too late now. Thanks for all responses, bro. I am grateful.

u're welcome.

I guess I still don't understand how things work on FL. I am not really pulling out of the job, I am just looking for a way to get a refund of the money debited from my account because I want to withdraw this week. By the way, it is an article writing project.

Just as I said, I will still give it to Fiverr when it comes to the issue of managing money and payments. FL is too ambitious, that's why my present account, I have not verified my payment system. I know you have verified it, so anytime you award or accept a project, they will deduct straight from your Nigerian account rather than your earnings on FL. That's how it rolls. But for me that is yet to verify my payment system or I have N0.00 in my bank acct, they can't deduct anything. They will rather give the option of deducting from my earnings on FL which is okay by me than touching the money I have plans for in my bank. That's why. You can only get a refund if you reject the project by contacting them or you have earnings already on FL and implore them to deduct from that rather than your bank acct.

Sard:
Pls, what of if I ask the client to cancel the project and decline the milestone created, will the fund be returned to my account and won't there be any implications on my profile? I really want to withdraw that money.
Any other experienced freelancer can help me solve this problem,pls.

Implications of canceling the project will have effect on your rewards if you pull out. Nothing will affect your rating except the employer gave you a bad review. You can only cancel the milestone he or she created at your end. Contact freelancer. com for a refund or plead with the employer to create a milestone of the amount that was deducted for accepting his project (which I doubt he will do). My question is why would you want to pull out of a job of $200. Which niche is it in? I am willing to take it over if it is my area of specialization.

PietraK:
We have heard it all how the world began and how Satan rebelled against God and was driven to earth.

He thereafter corrupted humans and we inherited death. We accept Jesus the savior and redeemer which qualifies us for heaven.

If heaven is pure and without sin, what tempted the devil in the first place?

Do we still have the capacity to sin when we get to heaven?

God keeps the essence of corruption at bay. The presence of His glory in heaven makes it holy and pure. What makes heaven heaven is the throne of God. But this present heaven will be destroyed by Him. It is no longer fit for future use and it has been contaminated by rebellion. So, what God is planning to do is to burn it and roll it away. That's the reason for a new heaven. Sin is simply that which is anti-God.

Nope, you won't even have an iota of sinful thoughts when the new heaven appears. It is possible for strange thoughts to come in this present heaven but you can't carry it out. What this present heaven will be used for is not for praising God only as most taught. It will be used for impacting you with the knowledge of God, removing and washing you thoroughly of any earthly nature still remaining in you. That's why it is written ' God will wipe away every tears...." Former things have passed away as recorded in Revelation. What made men sinful was the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. What will make men righteous, holy, and without sin forever is the tree of Life. You will be forever sealed. You will be exactly like God, the image of the Father. God can't deny His nature, so also you won't be able to sin. Coz the child of a tiger will always resemble the tiger. That's why it is good and better to learn it and achieve that program here on earth like Enoch et al did. When you get to that planet, growth may be slow. Those who are ahead of you, you can never catch up with them.

Satan tempted himself. Sin is simply turning away from the light of God and creating your own light. You don't want to use His light any longer to live. That's sin. And that's what he did. Why he fought against God was because he wants the Adonnai position, which Jesus now occupies. God kind of told him, that he has failed for even desiring that position. You don't ask for things like that, wait for God Himself to pick u up (remember the story of little children and Jesus). That was when satan sinned, he erred by allowing violence to fill him..and turned love to lust( note, everything called sin is a 'turning' of something. A twisted form of the original), righteousness to wickedness, light to darkness, faith to fear, obedience to disobedience, humility to pride etc and taught others to do the same. That is, he taught others to embrace his own kind of light. And God looked at how Lucifer wrote the formula for a way of life and how to live and said, "This is Sin."

Good. I wanted asking the same question cos i had a similar experience. I think its a new style they now use to get the work done free. I am getting tired of freelance. Com, the slavery there is too especially the Indians.

Just like my comment above, I think I will write an article on these freelancing sites one of these days. I will give it to Fiverr in curbing scamming to the barest minimum. You can't give out a project without paying. No slavery economy there. It is either u have money to pay for a gig or u go jump into atlantic ocean. Unlike freelancer.com where any dick and harry can just post a project, not yet certified their payment system and profile and still be asking for one sample. Don't get tired. Be selective in your choice of work and employers too. That site would have been the best if they can emulate Fiverr's payment system. But a big site like that will always be a house for worms due to the lackadaisical attitude of the management.

Sard:
Hello. I need help,pls. A client awarded me a project worth $200,which will be paid in batches, but $20 was instantly deducted from my FL account. What can I do for them to refund my money?

It can only be refunded if your client refuse to pay you the $200. That $20 is 10% freelancer.com fee for the $200 project you accepted. So, put ya mind at rest. Sometimes I wan go crazy at first concerning this until I checked their faqs. That's why in the freelancing world of charging fees for project, I will give it to Fiverr.

samplanner:
thank you, I tried downloading with my Firefox browser and it says the version of the Firefox I'm using does not support this. should I use chrome browser, and will it work? thanks.

the efficient browser is Opera browser. Simply add CyberGhost extension to it. I think the default country is US. It is very reliable unlike Zenmate.

I have been reading books since my primary school days till now but have never read a book that is tasking as reading my BIBLE.
Many passages of the scripture tends to be difficult and complex to understand.

One of those passages is Matthew 5:48 that Jesus was speaking to the mutitude that came to listen to his wise words.

Though, he said many complex/proverbial words but one of such is when he said thus, ''Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect'' Matthew 5:48 .

My question now is, how can we be perfect in this polluted world and how can we know that we have attained that 'perfection'?

He meant what he said. Be ye perfect. Same words were spoken unto Abraham. In other words, behave as God would behave. Any man who befriends thieves will one day steal. A man who befriends God will one day behave like God in the end. So, it is possible. Jesus was the prototype of God's perfection for Man and that which men can attain; a perfection that's higher than the angels. No wonder we are told in Hebrews that we should consider our heavenly calling. We have been called unto His perfection. Perfection is possible if we all yield. Why we are struggling is because we are not yielding and forces will come against you when you want to be like the Father.

Be ye perfect- Be like Him in all things.

My answers to your questions....
1 No steady power supply where am at, but my laptop lasts me for 3hrs after charge, and if i got work to do, i put on the Gen
2 I use a Glo data bundle(4.5gig) for 2k5
3 I bid as much as i can, from 3 to 9 bids daily but i have only gotten jobs from scammers.
I have been on FL for two weeks now, but i cant boast of any job even though am online almost 15hrs a day

You have to be selective on the type of job you bid on. I hardly meet scammers. Check ck the employer if he or she has verified their payment system and also made a deposit. It helps. What are your area of preference

Godmother:

I do not know your location but if you was in the west you will quickly realizability the amount of foreign currency floating 8 to N8 geriatric is alarming though restricted to the black market.these Marchants put western union out of business.

Perhaps so but you should know life isn't made for only one person to enjoy. The same system that brought Western Union, birth Paypal, Payoneer, Payza and co. Western Union can't handle it all. And the prize of WU is high. People that are making meagre money online won't subscribe to it and WU is not thinking of competition. Whereas, these companies only want to survive the climes by putting others out of business. No one has the monopoly of business entrepreneurial skills bro. Monegram is also there. I think WU have their own card too, do they? I'm not sure, perhaps others can shed light on it.

Godmother:
I'm too unstettled about the whole thing. My question now is hope I won't get a negative review if I decline and do I just tell him I'm not doing anymore

No. If you have not accepted it. Just reject it. No negative review. Let me tell you an experience I mentioned on this thread. If you accept it, he will likely say it is not quality enough after completion and goes on to give you negative review when you ask for money. You will lose both sides. That's what led to me closing my first acoount. Or he will provide u with another job and insist you do it before he released the money for the first.

Godmother:
I asked for a milestone from a job I'm about to do and the guy is insisting he only pays at the completion of the task. What do I do in such situation. Also if I'm to cancel an already accepted project, how do I go about it

I was so excited about winning a bid before. How do I decline, do I tell him straight up that I'm no longer interested. Will I be penalized?

don't accept it oo...so that you will avoid stories that touches the heart....I may be wrong, but let me guess. Is he Asian? Insist on milestone. I did such mistakes in the past. After project completion, they run away with my money. I'm yet to see one with my $25 up till date. I worked for one yesterday from UAE asking me to create a brand name. I said he should create a milestone which he did. later he said the brand names I provided won't be needed again. He even went ahead to refund the money freelancer.com debited me. All what am saying is, as for me...it is not happening. No milestone, no acceptance of your project'm I still have one that is pending. Most of those who doesn't want to set it have nothing useful to offer.

One of the things the CBN should do to help this situation is start encouraging
more dollar inflows anyhow they can. Example; by allowing Nigerians receive
paypal payments. So far, Nigerians wire millions of dollars per day overseas in
purchases, but we're not allowed to receive. The CBN should get paypal and
the rest of those payment platforms to allow Nigerians receive money as well.
This will certainly help, no matter how little.

CBN stop being dumb!. Get dollar from all sources possible!. You have not exhausted all avenues to get dollar!.

honestly, u have said it all. That's part of foreign currency flow into the economy. Sometimes I wonder the type of mumus wey dey at the helm of affairs. I did a research concerning ebook and its impact on the economy; as at 2013 South Africa was generating close to $5 million dollars. Just on ebook, not other online businesses. That Paypal issue should be addressed and other platforms. Money is just going out, not coming in. How foolish that can be. These are little drops that makes mighty oceans.

infohelp, do you offer US number for paypal verification?

Oga Forget Payoneer and Paypal Saga. Move on to the next level.
Others are busy making money online and withdrawing with ease.
Fiverr has 2 Withdrawal options.
1. You can withdraw directly to your payoneer card or Fiverr Card and get your cash here in any NIGERIA ATM.
2. You can withdraw directly to you USA/DUBAI paypal without any hassle. Yet, you can withdraw here in Nigeria or Exchange the funds for Naira.
SO SIMPLE AND EASY! Dont complicate any issue here... This is 2015.

I tried to download freelancer app on Blackberry World and was told to pay $0.99. Has anyone downloaded it on Blackberry? Cos I am surprised why it isn't free like that of Google Play.

it is android for a reason God provide me with money. I'm going to buy a good tablet with lasting battery. Power situation in the country hinders freelancing.

gametalk:
@ Twosquare You are new to Paypal system. And pls dont mislead people.
You can verify your USA Paypal with Virtual Credit Card and Bank Account. Its cheap and sold online.
Google search for it. Use google voice number for phone.

In addition, there are many ways to withdraw from paypal. For anyone who wants to operate paypal easily and withdraw wit ease... I will suggest he should open DUBAI paypal and verify with Nigeria ATM card. Simple.
If you need help, let me know.

Actually, you should know I'm talking of Payoneer and Paypal saga. I know of VCC and VBA. The dubai thing is another angle to it.

And to newbies who are yet to write exams. Freelancer.com is giving a mid year bonus. 50% cut from all exams fees...you will only have to pay $2 for each exams. Offers last till 30th 9pm Australian time.

jonaboy:
.Yes it means the employer has deposited the amount with freelancer and it would be released by the employer if he is satisfied with your work. Howevern if he is not satisfied he would open dispute and request for his money to be refunded. If on the other hand you did the job well and delivered and the employer refused to release the milestone you can also open a dispute against him and request for the milestone to be released to you. So in essence the milestone protects both the employer and employee.

Thanks for the simplified explanation.

ajog1...mind you,only the Master card will be linked, but linking the bank acct provided by Payoneer won't, which is the main thing.
