Escrow is an arrangement where you use a “third party” (somebody who is neither the buyer or seller) to hold something of value. That third party helps to make the transaction safer by ensuring that both the buyer and the seller meet their obligations.

On the job page, first read the details and descriptions of the job thoroughly. If you find yourself suitable for the job, then submit a proposal by clicking on the button in the job’s card. Then a page will pop up where you can enter the amount you want to submit proposal on the job, enter the duration of the job (which should be as long as you can deliver the job), a description of your proposal and a list of milestones along with each of the milestones durations and amounts. In order to be able to submit proposal on a job, you need to have at least one of its required skills in your profile, and for that, it’s advised that you complete your profile before starting bidding.
