Add Client Verification Methods
Well I see that many client put job and then never accept any bids or not even answer freelancers Questions
so they just waste bid count for freelancers so I think that when you put job and have certain bids on their job
just do varification email or call .. something to make them remember so they pay attention
I encounter 5 out of 10 people who never response on any bid and just waste bid count of freelancer

This is my Number 1 bugbear with PPH - Buyers who post jobs and then don't respond, don't ever allocate them or allocate them out of PPH but leave them on the job boards. Wastes Sellers' time and credits but makes PPH money in any case through proposal credits purchased!
I've applied for almost forty jobs now, writing detailed proposals and followed up many after a week or so without any communication from the Buyer. The vast majority of these remain unresolved or pending.
Not a good system for Seller's that are true professionals - like myself - and expect at the very least that there will be some level of communication between client and supplier. It's common courtesy.

I found it somewhat odd that credit cards are used to verify a person across internet since it is not issued by the state who always controls ID of people in front of the digital world. I have sent the issue to the Swedish gov financial inspection that banks issue random generators to log in to the state and claims that this is considered as a ID. It is a random generator. A cac card (see wiki is a proper digital ID). It would be nice as well to include oovoo.com or first client tools (see google) that use 3 way handshake to secure privacy in work mode online. Not enough with that the maestro card seems not be accepted and my bank is not issuing me a VISA due to not sorting out earlier debth and wrong doings by bank in Norway. .judicium.no matters. Telephone is not either any ID of a person since it is mostly in privatized hands, not goverment. I could see some sort of passport copy with consulate verification and signature sent via secure digital way's or secure DHL could do the job. It would be nice to se a lift up situation in this field. It exist technologies and procedures the last 20 years or so.

I am so the fed up with time wasters. I think there should be a place where you can list persons who have cost you $$$ and then bough from no one.
My idea that is that on the list of jobs we should be able to filter out buyers people we dont want - I would filter out everyone who had spent less than $X, everyone who has been on for less than 9 months etc etc, any jobs under $Y /hour and or budgets under $Z.
Please support this idea for me.
