How do I turn off the "feature my job for $29.99" offer when posting a job?

Vivek and Vladimir,

Thanks for your responses. This is still unclear to me because nothing is happening when I click on "Yes, I want to feature my job for $29.99." The only thing that works as a link is "Terms of Service". I've tried on multiple browsers and, as far as I can tell, there is no pop-up being blocked. So, I don't see how to opt in or out of posting as a featured job. This option doesn't appear anywhere else in the job posting process ...

Hi Chris,

The checkmark is indeed missing, I've replicate the problem and reached out to out Technical team.

To clarify, you are not automatically opt into featuring your job so there's no need to opt out, you can just proceed with posting the job. Due to the fact that the checkmark is missing, you won't be able to opt into featuring your job at the moment and I'll follow up with an update once we receive an update from the team.

Sorry to hear what happened. I'm just a freelancer so can't explain it, but you should have been able to opt out of the $29.99 fee. I hope a moderator will drop by shortly with an explanation.

Before posting a job it says "Yes, I want to feature my job for $29.99." There is no way to deseltect this, that I can see.

How do I post a job without featuring it. The doesn't seem to be a checkbox or yes/no option. I'm not sure how to proceed without this feature. Surely it is optional?

Update. I thought I would get a chance to confirm/deselect on the next screen. Nope. It just charged me $29.99 -- I've deleted the job and requested a refund.

My money has been refunded. However, it seems that paying $30 is the only way I am allowed to post a job. Since you've implied this is a bug, I hope it will be fixed.

I have the same problem and am holding off posting a job until I can get this turned off.
