Frequently asked questions
-
Do I have any obligations when using blackbear?
Our platform is open-ended. You can activate and delete your account whenever you like. We do require professionals to finish their assignments according to the agreed deadline. Deadlines vary per assignment and are discussed and agreed upon in advance.
-
Do I only get paid if I get a 5-star rating?
After you’ve submitted your deliverable, the assignment owner will evaluate it based on a 1 to 5-star rating. Once they’ve rated your deliverable, you will be paid based on that rating.
If you receive all 5 stars, you will receive 100% of the amount to be earned.
If you receive 4.5 stars, you will receive 90% of the amount to be earned and so on.
-
How long does it take for my money to be paid out?
Assignment owners get 10 days to rate the assignment after delivery of completed work. If they fail to rate within 10 days, a 5-star rating is automatically applied. After that, you have the option to choose between instant payout (at a cost of 3,5%) or standard payout (free of charge).
