Hello everyone, I have question to you. Client purchased my project catalog, After get the requirement I started work. Client was happy to my work, He asked for revision and I gave him couple of revisions. Then client asked for the final file, After provide the final work then client showing some lame excuse that he don't want to pay me.

Is there any solution? How can I get paid from a project catalog?

Thanks, Raju

Hi Md. Raju,

 

Project Catalog is where you let clients come to you. When you create a project, it displays as a listing that clients can open to learn more. Clients find you by searching for the skills and services you offer.

 

When you create a project we will first review it before making it visible to clients. Our review includes making sure your project is complete, looks professional, and doesn’t violate our Terms of Service. Please allow up to five business days for your project to be reviewed.

 

Thank you,

 

 

NOTICE:

We are currently receiving more projects for review than usual. Please allow us longer than usual to review your project.

I created a gig on Feb 26, and it has been under review since then. It is currently March 6th. I've received no emails or updates at all about my gig (neither acceptance, rejection, nor suggestions for improvement). Is there anything that can be done about this?

Yes, there are several solutions for getting paid from a project catalog.

1. Request a Partial Payment Upfront: Request a partial payment upfront prior to starting the project. This will ensure that you at least get some compensation in the event that your client doesn't end up paying the full amount.

2. Get a Signed Contract: Make sure to get a signed contract with your client outlining the project and the payment agreement. This will ensure that both parties are held accountable to the agreement and will help to protect your interests in case any issues arise.

3. Use an Escrow Service: If possible, try to use an escrow service such as PayPal or Stripe to ensure that payment is received before the project is delivered. This will help to prevent clients from receiving the work without paying for it.

4. Consider Legal Action: If all else fails, consider taking legal action against your non-paying client. This may involve filing a lawsuit or sending a demand letter. Depending on the situation, this may be the only way to get paid from a project catalog.
