How it works
A buyer can
be a freelancer, and a freelancer can be a buyer in this platform by switching
the account from either a buyer account to a freelancer account or from a
freelancer account to a buyer account. It should be noted that one needs no two
accounts to enjoy buying and selling services since only one is enough.
For
buyers
A buyer
needs to open the account first and then search for specific services that he
or she needs. The Plusacademics site will then display possible services
offered. The buyer can then select the most suitable services that show
up in the list. Once the service is selected, it is advisable for the buyer to
contact the freelancer selected before ordering. Once an agreement is reached,
the freelancer can initiate a contract with the buyer. If the contract is
agreed upon by the buyer, the delivery process can be initiated.
Payment
We have two
payment system i.e. PayPal and iPay. iPay is our preferred payment method since
it easier to use and secure for both parties involved.
Not
satisfied?
After
delivery, the buyer will always have a chance to ask for revisions until
satisfied. If the quality is still not satisfactory, the buyer can as well ask
for a refund. The buyer can get a refund up to 20 days after delivery.
When a refund is asked, the order amount is returned to buyer’s balance.
Since service fees are already charged during the ordering process, the refund
does not include services fees. Since there are always cases of abuse,
Plusacademics limits the number of times one can request a refund. In most
cases, refunds will be done by the support department.
For
freelancer
Freelancers
need to fill their profile and create an ad to display their services. The ads
have been designed to be simple but also enable the freelancer to be detailed
enough. Once the profile and the ad are created, the services offered by
freelancers will be displayed on our website as well as search engines. If the
client selects your service, they will contact you. Once an agreement is met,
you will enter into a contract with the customer. When you deliver the work,
and there is no revision within 72 hours, the amount earned will be debited in
your account, and you can view it in your balance record. The amount will be
available for withdrawal 20 days after the work is delivered. The balance will
be cashed out using PayPal, Payoneer and M-pesa services. The minimum
amount that can be sent to you is $20.
Order payments
Plusacademics
understands the problem associated with chargeback and it requests both sellers
and buyers to resolve payment issues within the platform. However, in the case of
chargeback and there is no solution available to resolve the issues, chargeback the cost will be incurred by the seller.
