The process of "vetting" prospective professionals is fully automated. It is a lie that they require samples (I know because I couldn't attach mine because of a rather idiotic system they got, only asserting it from some sites) he only "problem" they consistently point out is that your LOCATION doesn't match the one you put on your application. Ever heard of travelling, guys? Honest to god. I am a writer, not a local butcher shop - I an write from anywhere on the planet, and as it happens I will be in an entirely different part of the globe quite soon. Then what? You will shut me down because the location doesn't match. Ridiculous! Anyway, even when I tried to "correct" it to match my current location, it kept returning to default and I ended up being declined anyway. Good! This is another PIA site with 100 idiotic tech conundrums and 0 support, so suppose you got a billing problem etc - I am quite sure you'd be on your own too. I hope people abandon all of these blood suckers altogether soon - they have out together a badly thought out site once and just keep collecting all of the commissions for someone else's work while doing 0 to make it a good experience for the same people who make them all the money.
