pls house, I have asked this question before with no reply. I don't understand how the milestone stuff works at upwork, freelancer's is straight forward. my employer went to escrow.com to set up a milestone. The payment option I can see there is worth almost $40. There has to be another way, right?
pls this is urgent.

thanks in advance.

A milestone is jst what we call "part payment" here in 9ja, or maybe something close to dt.
A milestone simply means that, u'll NOT be paid d whole amount all at once. U'll be paid as d job progresses. Depending on d client, a client might divide a job into 4 milestones, this means d job will be done in four parts n u'll get paid after delivering each part of the project.
It also makes it easy for d client to monitor d project so he can reject any milestone and withhold d payment 4 dt milestone until he's satisfied with what u deliver.
Hope it's clear now.

Milestone is not a partpayment. Milestone is an escrow payment. A payment you made to a mutually trusted third party in advance for a service/supply you will need to affirm a satisfactory delivery before money is release to the serviceprovider or supplier.

thanks.
I understand these, what I don't understand is how upwork system works. my employer had to go tho escrow.com to set up a milestone, I thought he just pays to up work, and up work releases the funds to me.
I was directed to escrow.com to agree to the terms set out by my employer, there I discovered that the only viable payment method for me is through direct transfer which would cost $40. Is that usual?

Thanks

I've never secured work on upwork, so, I don't know how their milestone is. But i'm sure it can not be through another platform like escrow.com. Try mention the Gurus to call their attention to your rescue.

I don't understand why ur client will have to go through escrow if he/she wants to pay in milestones. The only work I've ever done on upwork was done in two milestones, d client paid half of d pay after d part of d job was done, and paid d remaining balance after I did d rest of d work. That's why at first I said dt milestone was like part payment but I was corrected...
Upwork has a "check" where clients can pay in milestones. Ask your client to try using the upwork milestone instead.
Gracias...

Can I bid for jobs before receiving my payoneer card? how does payment work in this case?

So I may dedicate 1 year in learning this mobile app development.

Dude, that shiiit is a money spinner. Jobs yakpa. I came across one a few minutes ago and the company was even willing to give visa to selected applicant. The perks are just so awesome!

Dig deep!

Stag gave it a while ago but people didn't noticed cos they were carried away by his disposition .

RUN! This is fraud alert or a red flag if you like. Upwork has a fully functional in-house escrow and mediation sytem. They DO NOT refer freelancers to any third party. In fact, offering to pay a freelancer outside of Upwork is a violation of Upwork's terms of service. And that's a solid proof that this potential client is trying to scam you into working for nothing. I advice you to report the case to upwork immediately through their Support section

Thanks. I actually contacted their support desk. he really didn't know how to set it up. we have done that now.

I am a newbie on Upwork. Can a person be both employer and freelancer on the site like on Freelancer.com? And for, projects that come with a fixed price, do the employers usually insist on it? i see some that are really low.

Nothing else than activating it by logging in into your Payoneer account. You will see where to activate it, just follow the instructions.

As for pro and con.
Always withdraw accumulated funds to save some charges. Not adviceable to check balance on ATM to save your $1 charge.
For better information go to Payoneer click the help menu for all the information you need.
