Picking a fulfiller

Applications are in. Now comes the fun part: choosing your weirdo, watching the work happen, and signing off on the result. This guide covers everything from the first application to the moment escrow releases.

Reading applications

Every applicant shows up side by side on your request's manage page with:

• Their pitch. Why they're the one. The good ones address your specifics, not a copy-paste template.
• Their price. They can accept your listed price or counter with their own. A counter isn't rude — it's information. Someone bidding higher may have understood the effort better than you did.
• Their track record. Completed jobs, on-time delivery rate, and their public ratings. New accounts show no stats — that's not a red flag by itself, everyone starts at zero.

There's no cap on applications and no deadline pressure beyond your request's own expiry. Take your time. The request stays live for applications until you pick someone or it expires (14 days by default).

Chat before you commit

You can message any applicant before picking. Use it:

• Clarify what "done" looks like so nobody's surprised later.
• Sanity-check they understood the weird specifics.
• Negotiate price — they can update their proposed price in the application.

Two rules:

1. Keep it on-platform. Asking for (or giving) emails, phone numbers, or social handles to take the deal outside is a strike for whoever does it. The chat filter catches it. Escrow can only protect deals that happen here.
2. You don't owe anyone a reply. Applicants you don't pick are notified automatically when you choose someone else.

Custom offers in chat

Negotiating mid-conversation? Either of you can send a custom offer — a formal price proposal right in the chat ("Make an offer" above the composer). Accept it and it becomes the application's official price; when you pick, that's exactly what your card is charged. Decline it and nothing changes. Offers only exist before the pick — after money's in escrow, the price is the price (extras can be settled with a tip at acceptance).

The pick — where money moves

Picking someone is the commitment moment. When you confirm:

1. Your saved card is charged for the request price plus the 5% poster fee. If your bank asks for verification (3-D Secure), you'll complete it right there.
2. The money lands in escrow — held by the platform, not paid to anyone.
3. The fulfiller is notified and the clock starts. Your request moves to "in progress."
4. All other applicants are automatically declined and notified.

If the charge fails, nothing happens — no pick, no escrow, no notification. Fix the card and try again.

Paying with crypto? You'll get a payment screen instead of a card charge; the pick confirms once the payment clears. See for how the crypto rail works.

While the work happens

• The dedicated chat for the job stays open. Reference photos, progress checks, clarifications — all of it lives there, timestamped, which also protects you if there's ever a dispute.
• Fulfillers have 7 days from pick to submit a delivery before the system flags it late (that's a strike for them, and you can repick or get refunded).
• If the fulfiller backs out, you're notified and your escrow is untouched — pick someone else from your applicant list or let the request expire and get refunded.

Reviewing the delivery

When the fulfiller submits, the delivery first passes a human moderation check (we screen everything before it reaches you). Then you get it: files, notes, the lot. From here you have exactly three doors:

Door 1 — Accept

The work is what you asked for. Hit accept. Escrow releases to the fulfiller (price minus their 15% fee), the job closes, and you both rate each other.

At acceptance you'll also see an unchecked box: "Make this public on the discover feed." Tick it only if you want the finished piece showcased — it goes public only if the fulfiller also opted in at delivery. Default is private, forever. Either of you can revoke later from settings.

Door 2 — Request a revision

Close, but not right? You get one revision round per request. Write a note (be specific — "make it weirder" helps nobody) and the fulfiller resubmits. After the revision, the choice narrows to accept or dispute — there's no second revision.

Door 3 — Open a dispute

The delivery never came, or it genuinely isn't what was agreed. A dispute freezes escrow and puts a human on the case. Full details in .

The 5-day timer

After a delivery is approved and waiting on you, you have 5 days to accept, request a revision, or dispute. Do nothing and escrow auto-releases to the fulfiller — they did the work; they shouldn't be hostage to your inbox. The timer resets once if a revision comes back.

Going quiet entirely has consequences: a poster who ghosts a picked job for 14 days earns a strike.

After acceptance: tips and rehiring

Loved it? Two things live on the accepted request page:

• Tip them. Tips go 100% to the fulfiller minus only the card-processing fee — the platform takes zero. You can tip more than once. Details in .
• Request them again. The "Request @x again" button opens the composer pre-targeted at your fulfiller — the new request goes straight to them, privately, skipping the public feed entirely. Repeat business with someone who already gets your weird is the best deal on the platform.

Quick answers

Can I pick more than one fulfiller? No — one request, one fulfiller. Want three people to do it? Post it three times.

Can I change my mind after picking? Picking charges your card, so there's no casual undo. If the fulfiller agrees things aren't working, or they back out, escrow comes back to you. Otherwise the dispute process is the path.

What if nobody applies? Sharpen the request (specifics attract), raise the price, or give it a . If it expires unpicked, you're charged nothing.

Do I ever see the fulfiller's real name? No. Handles only, both directions. Payment details never cross between you.
