A few months ago, I was awarded a project related to modifying an existing MailChimp Template. I was able to earn $60USD from that project. I have done several projects on freelancer.com since then.
A few days ago, I had been busy bidding on projects rapidly one after another to find a project. But I was not either fortunate enough or qualified enough to win the bid and get awarded the project.
Strangely enough, I received an email from baseballman. At this time he seems to need his templates get modified again and further. In his email he was asking whether I would be able and available for him to get his MailChimp templates modified to the next level.
I promptly replied him saying I am ready to start work immediately. We were agreed for a budget of $30USD for this project.
I completed the project successfully. I received the payment as discussed.
But at this time, something strange happened. No project postings on freelancer.com. No bidding on projects on freelancer.com. No awarding of the project on freelancer.com. No creation of milestones on freelancer.com. What happened at this time is a mere transfer of $30USD from baseballmans freelancer.com account to my freelancer.com account. That was it!
Initially we planned to do the payment via PayPal. But that attempt was failed because PayPal had said him Sri Lankan accounts are only allowed to send funds. Sri Lankan accounts are not allowed to receive funds. Actually there were several campaigns on getting PayPal work in Sri Lanka. I have just forgotten those things whilst agreeing to receive payments via PayPal. First I transfer my freelancer.com funds to Moneybookers(Skrill). Then I transfer funds to my local bank in Sri Lanka (Commercial Bank of Sri Lanka).
I completed another freelance project.

The New Payment Method

PayPal Support for Sri Lanka
Initially we planned to do the payment via PayPal. But that attempt was failed because PayPal had said him Sri Lankan accounts are only allowed to send funds. Sri Lankan accounts are not allowed to receive funds. Actually there were several campaigns on getting PayPal work in Sri Lanka.
