I'm sure people here be willing to get a job done and then get paid afterwards, or even use a 3rd party as an escrow service, I don't know??? But could it be something we could expand on and get the ideas coming in???

that wont work simply because theres always people who are willing to rip others off.
Even though ive had 2 people who ripped me off and get away with it,Ive still had many success stories with other coders who have took jobs and completed the work.
Is just a few bad eggs out there,but without the proper feedback system in place they wont be weeded out,so we back to square one.
Over the years Vb.Org has been told that people are gettin ripped big style on here but they do nothing,as its not their problem.They wont implement anything to make our lifes easier or something where u can see at a glance if the user has had much success in the past.
The onus is always on the requester to do searches and then even when u find a coder/designer who seems right for the job it dont mean u wont get stung.
Now when it goes wrong all you are allowed to do is post a short post (to your orginal request) with who took the job and what went wrong - anythin else and the mods go mad in Edit mode.
And that im afraid is the end of it - you have to carry on your life as if everything fine.Even though you mega p***** that the other party has got away with it.
