I’ve spent a sizable amount of money hiring people on upwork and never have disputed a payment. If something isn’t being done correctly, the contract gets terminated and that individual never gets any more work from me. Early on it was very difficult to spot potential problems before the contract began. With experience it became much easier. It is an imperfect system in an environment rife with problems from both employers and works attempting to cheat their way through. Now they are a public company now and have an incentive to squeeze fees from all ends. For that reason, I rarely hire new workers from upwork any more. Workers or clients who get screwed on the first job will never come back and they will tell everyone else not to use it. In the long run that will add up.
