This type of service is facilitating buyers of services like coding, programming, website design to get in contact with sellers/providers of this type of work. The buyer post a project outline together with a maximum budget and sellers outbid each other in order to get awarded the job.
There are a lot of Indian and Russian programmers bidding for the projects available. These are countries known for cheap hourly wages. “Yes! Cheap labour to do my projects! I wil stop using my fellow countrymen’s expensive services!”
If the project management and selection process is done right, it is no doubt that these services may give you a cost efficient way to build and launch your online enterprise. In a few days, I will return with some posts about my experiences in this area. Until then, check out the services:

Scriptlance and GetAFreelancer - both luck of arbitration service. Escrow service is optional. I prefer RentACoder because it safe: escrow is a must and I can ask about arbitration if I have problem with other party.
Yes, I forgot to mention that. The escrow service is a must in order to do business through these type of services. I have not had any problems that got so big that I needed arbitration services, so I never really thought about that.
I think the perception most people share is that Rent A Coder is the most professional solution of the three.
I am trying both Rentacoder and Getafreelancer. No so many responses via Rentacoder and I feel this is because the antique User Interface and byzantine Payment Account Verification process puts off some Providers and Buyers.
Getafreelancer shows how the interface should be done - and as I understand it, there is an Escrow process there but no explanation on how it works. What I find funny is there are loads of Buyer requests for things like “Clone of Getafreelancer Website” some even being featured listings!
