Hi Bola,

This is by design. Only users with client profiles can purchase projects. If you would like to purchase a project, you can open a client profile by going to Settings > Contact Info > Create a new account. Thank you.

Hi Goran, thanks for the response, for clarity sake, what you are saying is that anyone can access my account  as it is ? Rgds

Hi Bola,

Yes, that is correct. Clients can view your profile when you send a proposal or when you're discovered via search results.
