How It Works — Erruns

How Erruns Works

Post tasks, compare bids, chat securely, and pay through escrow. Freelancers build verified profiles, grow their reputation, and withdraw earnings. Simple, safe, and fast.

1 — Create Task

Describe what you need

Title, category, location/remote, budget range, due date, and any attachments. Our smart hints keep things clear and scannable.

2 — Receive Bids

Compare price, profile & rating

Shortlist bidders, view badges (ID, phone, email verified), and explore portfolio cards on their profile.

3 — Secure Escrow

Fund the task safely

Pay in full at acceptance. Funds sit in escrow until you mark the task Completed or a milestone is reached.

4 — Chat & Track

Message in-app, share files

Typing indicators, read receipts, attachments, and notifications keep everyone in sync.

5 — Finish Strong

Release payment & review

Once satisfied, release escrow. Rate your pro and leave a review—this powers trust for the community.

1 — Browse & Filter

Find work that fits

Search by category, budget, distance, and urgency. Save interesting tasks to revisit later.

2 — Place a Smart Bid

One bid per task (edit anytime)

Write a convincing message, attach samples, and set delivery time. Our system highlights complete bids.

3 — Get Accepted

Start after escrow is funded

When the poster accepts you, they fund escrow. You’ll see a green Secured badge on the task thread.

4 — Deliver & Earn

Submit, iterate, and complete

Once marked complete, funds move to your wallet. Withdraw to your verified bank account.

Post a Task

Guided form with live budget hints and example scopes. You can enable milestones for larger jobs and choose remote vs on-site with pinned address.

Dispute Resolution

🛡️

When to open a dispute

Use disputes for missed milestones, scope disagreements, or unresponsive parties. Start from the task thread → Open Dispute.

⚖️

How decisions are made

Provide evidence: chat excerpts, files, before/after photos, and delivery logs. Moderators review within typical business hours and may propose partial releases or refunds.

📎

Evidence & timelines

Attach multiple files, add threaded comments, and tag milestones. Deadlines prevent indefinite holds—both sides receive reminders.


Frequently Asked Questions

How does payment & escrow work?

When a poster accepts a bid, they pay the full task amount into escrow. Funds are held until the task is marked Completed or a milestone is approved, after which the bidder’s wallet is credited. If there’s a problem, open a dispute before marking as complete.

Are fees deducted?

Yes. Platform and processing fees are shown at checkout for posters and in the wallet summary for bidders. Exact rates can vary by payment method or promotions.

Can I cancel a task?

If work hasn’t started, the poster can request cancellation from the task thread. If work has started, the accepted bidder must approve or a dispute will be opened to review fairness (e.g., partial payment for time spent).

What if a bidder doesn’t respond?

Use Send Reminder. After repeated reminders, you may withdraw acceptance and re-open the task without penalty. This is logged to protect posters.

What’s on a profile page?

Badges (Email/Phone/ID), bio, skill tags, portfolio, average rating, completion rate, response time, and milestone achievements. Posters can message or invite directly from a profile.

How do categories affect pricing?

Each category shows typical price ranges and time estimates to guide fair bids. Posters can still set custom budgets, and bidders can quote fixed price or hourly with a cap.

Do you support milestones?

Yes—great for larger jobs. Posters can define milestones at task creation or add them later (with bidder agreement). Escrow can be split and released per milestone.

How do withdrawals work?

Once funds hit your wallet, request withdrawal to a verified bank account. Processing times depend on the bank and may vary by country or local holidays.

Safety tips

Use in-app chat, never share passwords or OTPs, and avoid off-platform payments. For on-site tasks, share arrival details in the thread and verify identity badges.

Taxes & invoices

We email receipts for all payments and provide downloadable invoices from your account. Consult a tax professional for your jurisdiction’s reporting requirements.
