Orders for Clients

Yes, you can. Every order has a pencil icon. This is the editing option. Click on it. Remember that after editing, all applications for the order go into the comment status. You can edit the order only until the author is assigned.

If the author fails to deliver the revised work upon the expiration of the revision term, the work will be marked as “expired” in 3 days for regular orders and 3 hours for rush orders after the work is sent for revision. The author’s rating will be penalized for late delivery (the author will automatically lose some scores), while the client will be able to post a negative review about the author and place the order again to find a more competent author. The funds held in the client’s account will be released back to the client.

The reasons include:
The checkmark is removed that makes the project visible to all authors;
Not all authors who’d like to submit a proposal to your project have the required level of skill specified by you;
Sometimes you just need to wait for a while to find the right author for your project.

If you want to give the order to the particular author, we recommend using the “Individual order” option. To do this, on the placement / editing order page, open the “Advanced Options” block at the bottom, in the “Access to Order” drop-down menu, select “Individual Order”, enter or paste the author’s login in the “Search by Login” line and click on the magnifying glass icon. After that, select the author in the "Confirm the author" field.

There is the other way to create an individual order: go to the author's profile for whom you want to place the order, and click on the "Individual Order" button on the "Basic" tab at the bottom of the page. In this case, the checkout page will open, where the author’s login will be added automatically.
Only selected author will be able to submit an application for the individual order, because the order will not be available for other users in the system. In this case, the author will receive a message that the assignment is issued for him.

Make sure you have enough funds in your account to pay the author (the price of the project + a 5% fee). Also, you may not be able to hire an author if the author hasn’t submitted a proposal to your project but just left a comment instead.

The funds will be released back to you right after you cancel the order.

You can by using a pencil icon in the Deadline field.

If the deadline has passed, the order becomes “expired”. This is when an additional option appears enabling the client to cancel the order.
If you press Cancel the Order, the current author will no longer be hired for the order, the funds will be released back to the client, the project will become inactive, and it won’t be able to repost it to find a new author. If you press Find Another Author, the current author will no longer be hired for the order, the funds will be released back to the client, and the order will be moved to the Pending Orders section for editing and reposting to find a new author.

You forgot to check Post while saving the order. Click on the pencil icon to the right of the order name to edit the order, check Post and press Save. After that, the order will be visible to the author and the author will need to submit a proposal to it as with all orders. Don’t forget to accept the proposal or you won’t have your order done.

You may cancel your order via a moderator by pressing Apply to Remove the Author from the Order. Don’t forget to indicate the author’s username, order the name of the reason for removing the author, and provide some fragments from the work delivered.

Perhaps, you’re using an order template. If that’s the case, please try creating an order without using an order template. If you still can’t place your order, please contact our [url=https://www.etxt.biz/feedback/]feedback team[/url]. Alternatively, press Show Additional Order Options and select Available to All under Limits or enter the username of the required author.

That means the author did set limitations in his profile and the order you’re making is indeed not up to them: e.g. the author’s lowest price for translation is 100 rubles per 1000 characters while the price you offer is
30/1000 only, or that this particular type of work is not among the ones the author indicates in his profile.
Your being in the author’s White List solves the problem enabling you to make any kind of order regardless of any limitations.

After a certain period of time - 180 days for general orders and 30 days for individual ones - since the last editing the drafts of orders are automatically deleted and there is no way to restore them.

Some users have already faced this problem. The error occurred when applying third-party html formatting in eTXT json- respond (when saving the task) because of the extension that has been set in the browser and that actually has made this json-respond incorrect.

Theoretically, any other extension might have been the reason for the problem, - the easiest way to check it is to disable all the extensions/plugins in your browser (in Chrome the incognito mode is the most convenient way).

By ticking the box opposite this section, you oblige the Author to post the article he wrote on the internet. The particularity of this function is that it will save your time and money. You no longer need to look for sites to post the article, the Authors will do it instead of you. You can view the list of Internet sources offered by the Author where the article you ordered will be posted. In case you have satisfied the order, before accepting, you can control that the Author has placed the article on the indicated Internet sites and after it accept the order.

If you need a certain number of different articles on the same topic, you do not have to post a few jobs, you can just post one multi-order by ticking the box opposite. In this way, you make it possible to receive a few applications for one order at the same time. The number of job posts can be limited by specifying their number in a certain window, otherwise, applications will be accepted as long as you have funds in your user account.

Orders are urgent if deadlines, excluding the time allocated for completion, are less than 48 hours. The following terms are set in urgent orders:

• The Author has to submit the order within 10 minutes after the specified deadline in the 'Deadline' field;
• The minimum period for implementation is 2 hours;
• The maximum revision time is 3 hours from the moment of sending for revision: if the urgent order was submitted earlier that the due time, the time remaining for the completion of the order is added to these three hours (allotted for revision);
• The maximum verification period is 5 hours from the moment when the Author has submitted the order for verification: if the Author sent the work earlier the due time, the time remaining until the deadline is added to these 5 hours (allotted for verification).
