We have some very exciting news and a huge announcement to make: it's official, we've just

freelancers using pounds. We will be having a local support team as well as running a dedicated
UK marketing campaign so make sure you look out for us in the news and around town! We will
also be progressively rolling out UK specific features so make sure you stay tuned.

New Freelancer.com Dispute System
We are very excited to launch our brand new dispute system. The new system has simplified
the dispute process and made it more transparent. The time it takes to settle a dispute has
also been dramatically shortened. Our new design is intuitive and encourages users to work
through issues first and negotiate to try to reach an amicable resolution. If however an issue
cannot be resolved we offer arbitration for a fee. Our dispute team will then analyze the provided
material and provide a decision – usually within 48 hours.

Love, an iPhone app and a Proposal .. a Marriage made on Freelancer.com
We see more and more weird and wonderful projects being outsourcing on freelancer.com
whether it be someone hiring a call center to buy basketball tickets for him or someone hiring an
architect to draw up plans for a luxury hotel in Barbados. News.com.au has featured an
amazing project that was completed on our site.
Sahba Idelkhani, from Sydney Australia decided to use Freelancer to build a custom-made app to
propose to his girlfriend. The app would lead her on a nostalgic treasure hunt around Sydney and
led her to the ultimate marriage proposal.
All this was done by a project outsourced on Freelancer.com
