Stripe can take up to 4 - 7 working days for our payment provider to deposit the funds into your account after they have been released.
If I get introduced to someone via the gigexchange, should I complete all work through them in the future? arrow-right
This is your choice. If you wish to use us simply for establishing trust with new relationships then take them off-platform once established, we are happy with that. We do not want our customers to feel like hostages. When you need a new relationship, we will be here for you again.

Yes, we take very seriously any behaviour that is threatening, violent, aggressive or harassing. We recommend all communication is through our chat portal, so we have an audit of this. Please contact us through our contact page.
