Get Paid Now amount is wrong

Why is the 'Get Paid Now' amount lower than my actual contracted price that I have in my jobs (milestones).

... probably because you have to pay site fees? Smiley Frustrated

 

how do you use a site that allows you to source clients, potentially make a ton of money, and NOT know that they are going to take a cut of it

I had a glitch a week or so ago where the Get Paid Now amount was substantially different when viewing from my mobile device. I logged on from my laptop and it resolved itself. But what you could be seeing is the different in site fees available.

Hi Jay,

 

As a freelancer, you’re charged a sliding fee based on your lifetime billings with each non-Enterprise client. This includes all contracts you’ve ever had with that client. Service fees are the same whether the contracts are hourly or fixed-price.

  • $0-$500: 20%
  • $500.01-$10,000: 10%
  • $10,000.01 or more: 5%
