Hello everyone! Thank you for the informative mails.
1. Some people who offered their services online seem to have been cheated by dishonest people. As you would agree, it usually happens when you trust unknown persons, so the real issue here is of trust. So is there any mechanism to reinforce this trust? 2 Is there any online marketplace where you can sell your services and have a reasonable assurance that you will get paid for it? Like ebay, for example, where you can purchase from a seller unknown to you, but still have a guarantee that you'll either get your purchased goods or your money back. 3. Further, When you accept a work assignment, do you sign any document? It could be a work agreement, a non declaration agreement, IP assignment, etc. best regards, Gaurang. http://www.accessiblenews.com jean parker wrote: >You have to check out people with colleagues before working for them.
