Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to submit an estimate?
It’s FREE! Simply browse the list of open projects and submit an estimate for any project you are interested in pursuing. An escrow transaction fee will be automatically added to your estimate. The client is responsible for paying the escrow transaction fee.
How do I get paid?
After you have been hired for a project and the client approves your invoice, they will place funds into our secure payment processing platform, powered by Escrow.com. Once the client acknowledges that the work is complete, they will release the funds to you.
Am I required to use escrow to receive payments?
Yes. By using our service, you agree to send invoices and accept payments only through P.E. For Hire, powered by Escrow.com. Escrow law requires that you verify your identity when setting up your Escrow.com account. Having funds held in escrow protects you. Receiving payment outside of P.E. For Hire violates your user agreement and may result in legal action.

Are there any additional fees?
No. All escrow transaction fees are paid for by the client. However, depending on the disbursement method you choose, you may be charged a small fee.
Why haven't I received any requests for an estimate?

How do I resolve a transaction dispute with a client?
We encourage each party in a transaction to thoroughly communicate expectations prior to commencement of any services rendered. Should either party be concerned with conduct or results during a transaction, we ask that you first work in good faith with the other party to reach a mutually agreeable resolution.
