Security or more money?
Well I have been working for a business doing some design work. I can choose to receive my payment via an agency which holds the money and handles any arbitrations. Its pretty much guaranteed to give you security so if you do the work you get paid. The only problem is sites like these charge 15%!!. The project I am working on is with a respectable business which I have worked for before and received $150. The new project is worth £600. If I go with one of the agency sites then I would lose £90 which seems a bit much. I then think I should just get it through paypal and lose less money.
On the other hand. If I use one of the sites I get positive feedback (hopefully) which could result in more work. I am also sure that I will get payment and any problems will be sorted out. Which one to go for? Security or money? I currently think paypal since I feel I can trust the people I am working for. What are your thoughts?
One of the websites which I use and am reffering to is: rentacoder.com

I’d personally be leaning towards paypal. £90 is a lot of money!! Think about it this way: If you were working in a shop, to earn that £90 (BEFORE TAX!!!), you’d have to work about 16 hours.
15% is outrageous fees.

I agree completely.
