Of course it is true that some people will not perform their
duties as expected. However, this is not the fault of Rent-A-Coder,
it is the fault of those individuals. Rent-A-Coder is simply
a tool to be used by employers and coders to connect with one
another. It creates an international labor market for programming,
which has never before been actualized.

The problem with rentacoder, elance, and all the other freelance sites is that they are completely overrun by foreigners who charge bottom basement prices. Why pay a real price to someone here in the States, when they can get someone in India to do it for pennies?

Keep in mind that there are good and bad people
out there everywhere. Don’t blame the “messenger,” i.e.,
RentACoder. Their service provides about as much
protection as anybody can dream up. Just follow the
rules, do a little research on your applicant, and you’ll
go home happy. I haven’t a problem whatsoever using them.

ouch! I am an elance provider but I have never copied and pasted anything, all
work is mine, original and if anything some clients don’t want to
pay what the work is worth, but I work for writing and translation
not website codes or anything for that matter. Better luck to you guys
looking.

DONT USE ELANCE. Got scammed by their crappy provider network for a website resign. They stole my money and skipped town, Elance was not help and told me to contact them directly (good luck). All Elance cares about is getting their payment %.

I had a horrible experience with Rent-a-Coder. The coder and I went in to arbitration and that coder from a 3rd world country ended up sabotaging my website by putting some iframe codes into my web pages and therefore, initiating Google to paste up the dreaded “SITE ATTACK” message. I will never use them again.
