tical

true too...

someone needs to start an industry escrow site that doesn't rip people off (typically the service provider would pay the fees upon the completed job)... that way customers pay up front but don't have to release funds until the work is complete & accepted

there would also need to be a neutral 3rd party arbitration process (if both fall out, then you both split any fees)

pretty much like rentacoder or any other freelance service online... maybe something people can jump right into tailored to the adult industry

the rating system would work perfectly in this case because deadlines will be set, reviews & comments will be made and service providers (designer, coders, whatever) will be held accountable as well as clients

if a service provider missed a deadline the buyer can take his $ and walk, no sob stories or excuses, arbitration would see you agreed & missed. likewise if the buyer wants 50 million changes that weren't in the original specs agreed to... the designer gets paid and moves on


there you go, someone make some $
