Hallo, i have posted, a script i wanna buy, and many people wanna make the script to me, but how do i pay them? And do i first pay when i have seen the finish work?
Look at the payment methods in the person's country- It could be Paypal, Moneybookers, WU, E-Gold. Choose the one that you are most comfortable with. As for payment terms, if he is a newbie, then he might be willing to accept payment after work is done. Otherwise you may have to pay a certain sum upfront, and the rest upon completion. It really depends on the coder, your own reputation, and the type of script that you are ordering from him.
Don't pay untill the script is done. Use a escrow service. How will you know if the script has errors if you can't code the site yourself? You should hire another professional to look over the script before you release the payment. Get the programmer to sign a contract so he won't resell the script ect.
It sorks like this Post project / feeelancers bid / choese a winer / he accepts the project / put the money in escrow / when job done release escrow There are multiple methods to fill the account with money (paypal/wired transfers )
