Payment for product

[e04347e7]

Hi all!

I’m new to Upwork and I am keen to know how am I going to pay the person engaged to help me for the products I need them to purchase? I need a personal shopper. Eg. product $1000 and commission given is $100. I key in $100 and how do I transact the $1000 for the personal shopper to purchase the item? Thank you!

That won't work, because the freelancer will be charged fees on your payments. This also sounds like a very risky type of transaction for both sides and it's not really something Upwork can easily and safely be used for.
