Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Is my money safe when I pay for an order?

Yes. Every payment goes into escrow and stays there until you approve the delivery, the order auto-completes, or a dispute is resolved. The freelancer never receives your payment up front.

❓ What if I'm not happy with the delivery?

You can request a revision (each package includes a set number) or, if it still doesn't work out, raise a dispute from the order page. Our team will review the conversation and decide fairly.

❓ How much does Blink Gigs charge?

Buyers pay only the price shown on the gig package. Freelancers keep their earnings minus a 15% platform commission, which covers payment processing, support, and keeping the platform running.

❓ How long does delivery take?

Every gig package shows its own delivery time, usually between 1 and 30 days depending on the service. You'll see a countdown on your order page once it's active.

❓ How do withdrawals work for freelancers?

Once your available balance reaches ₦2,000.00, you can request a withdrawal to any Nigerian bank account from your Earnings page. Requests are typically processed within 24 hours.

❓ Can I hire someone for a custom job that isn't listed as a gig?

Yes — use Post a Job from your buyer dashboard to describe what you need, and matching freelancers will be notified directly.
