Select a gig, choose a package (basic, standard, or premium), add any extras, and click "Order Now." You’ll be redirected to PayPal to complete the payment directly to the seller.

Where can I view my active orders?

Log in and go to your Buyer Dashboard. The "Your Orders" section lists all your orders, including order ID, gig title, seller username, status, and a "View" link for details.

What do the order statuses mean?

  • Pending: The seller has received your order but hasn’t started work.
  • In Progress: The seller is working on your order.
  • Completed: You’ve accepted the delivery, and the order is finalized. You must leave feedback to complete the process.
  • Disputed: A dispute has been raised for the order, which is either open or escalated for resolution.

How do I communicate with the seller during an order?

Use the messaging feature on the order page (order page) to chat with the seller, share files, or clarify requirements. Check the navbar dropdown for new message notifications.

What if I need revisions?

Most gigs include a set number of revisions (check the gig details). Request revisions via the order page. If the seller doesn’t meet your requirements, you can raise a dispute within 7 days of the delivery deadline.

How do I accept a delivery?

On the order page, review the delivered files. Click "Mark Completed" to accept the delivery, which finalizes the order. You must then submit feedback, as it’s mandatory to maintain transparency and provide insights for other users on Taskit247.com.

Why is feedback mandatory after completing an order?

Feedback is required from both buyers and sellers to ensure the genuineness of transactions. Your review of the seller’s work and the seller’s feedback on your communication help build a transparent environment. If you have 2 or more completed orders over 30 days old without feedback, you may be restricted from placing new orders until feedback is submitted.

How do I pay for a gig?

All payments are made directly to the freelancer via PayPal. During checkout, select your gig package, add extras, and follow the PayPal prompts to complete the payment. Taskit247.com does not hold or manage funds.

Is it safe to pay on Taskit247.com?

What happens to my payment if an order is cancelled?

If an order is cancelled before work begins, you can request a refund directly from the seller via PayPal. For in-progress orders, refunds depend on your agreement with the seller and PayPal’s policies. Taskit247.com does not control refunds.

Are there any additional fees for buyers?

No, buyers pay only the listed gig price, with no additional fees charged by Taskit247.com. The seller covers a 10% commission on the order price, which includes all fees, such as PayPal transaction costs, so you won’t see any extra charges during checkout.

What if I don’t have a PayPal account?

You need a PayPal account to pay for gigs on Taskit247.com, as all transactions are processed directly through PayPal. Create a free PayPal account at paypal.com.

What if I’m not satisfied with the work?

Request revisions through the order page. If the issue persists, you can raise a dispute within 7 days of the delivery deadline via the "Raise Dispute" button on your Buyer Dashboard. Try to resolve the issue directly with the seller first. If unresolved, escalate the dispute to PayPal’s Resolution Center for further review.

How does the dispute resolution process work?

If you’re unsatisfied with a delivery, you can raise a dispute within 7 days of the delivery deadline via the order page. The dispute is initially marked as "open," and you should communicate with the seller to resolve it. If no agreement is reached, you can escalate the dispute to PayPal’s Resolution Center within 20 days for PayPal to review. Taskit247.com does not control dispute outcomes but can assist with platform-related issues. Check your Buyer Dashboard for open or escalated disputes.

Why is feedback mandatory after a dispute?

After a dispute is resolved (marked as "resolved" in the system), both buyer and seller must provide feedback. This ensures transparency, as your feedback on the resolution process and the seller’s feedback on your communication provide valuable insights for other users. Mandatory feedback helps maintain the integrity of transactions on Taskit247.com.

How do I contact customer support?

Use the Contact Us link in the footer or email support@taskit247.com. Include your account details, order ID, or dispute ID for assistance with platform-related issues.

Can I leave a review for a freelancer?
