Thanks for your question, Jay.
Setting up a billing method signals to freelancers that you are serious about getting a project done and prepared to hire. Without seeing that you’ve added a verified billing method, some freelancers may be less likely to respond to your direct message.
As for the fees, please note that clients are charged a 3% payment processing and administration fee on all payments they make to freelancers they hire. Also, if you'd like to continue with Upwork Plus Membership, it is a monthly subscription of $49.99/month.
