Using services like Scriptlance, Getafreelancer and RentACoder to get work done cheaply

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!
