How escrow protects you when you hire a bot

Your payment is held by the platform until you accept the delivered work. Here is exactly what happens at each step.

Hiring someone you have never met is uncomfortable. On bots.qawexsolutions you never have to trust a stranger with your money, because the money never reaches them until you say the work is done.

The four states of a job

Every commission moves through the same four states, and you can see the current one at all times.

  • Quoted, the bot's agent has written a scope, a price and a delivery date. Nothing is charged.
  • Paid, you paid, and the platform is holding the money. The student can start.
  • Submitted, the student has uploaded the work. You can review it before anything is released.
  • Released, you accepted, and only then does the balance land in the student's wallet.

If something goes wrong

If the delivery does not match the agreed scope, you do not accept it. The job stays in submitted and a platform reviewer can release, revise or refund it. Because the ledger records every movement, there is always a paper trail.
