There are a few options for starting work on the eTXT. First, you can make a test assignment according to the chosen type of work and receive a qualification. It can increase your chances that customers will choose you as the executor.

You can also apply for the orders you are interested in and work with these orders if you are selected as the Author (widget "Orders"); place ready-made articles for sale — widget "Articles". We draw your attention that uploading articles for sale is possible only with a rating of at least 10 points and / or with an amount of at least $10 on the balance — these are restrictions for users who do not have a rating yet.

You can also give an ad offering your services, this option is available in the "Personalization" –> "My Announcements" section. Paid service — $10.

Good luck on eTXT!

The matter is that your account has not yet been activated. To activate it, you should follow the link from the mail that was sent to the specified email address. The link is active for 3 days from the date of registration. If the account has not been activated during this time, it will be deleted automatically. If you didn't receive the email, check the Spam folder. If the mail is not found, write to the Feedback.

By linking your eTXT account to a mobile phone number you will avoid access to a third-party account (as a result of breaking mail, for example), and ensure the security of your account data.

To associate an account with a phone number, click on your nickname in your account, go to the "Security" tab and enter the mobile phone number in the field. After that, click the "Send SMS code" button. Wait for the message with the code and enter it for confirmation in the field that will open. After the phone number is tied to your account, you can enable authorization via SMS.

The speed of receiving SMS with the code for linking the number to your account depends on the work of your mobile operator. Sometimes the code comes almost instantly, sometimes you need to wait.

Perhaps, you need to update your browser to the latest version. If it doesn’t help, change your browser settings to accept cookies or try to clear your browser’s cash (in your browser settings) or try to log in using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox.

You can’t change your status from client to author. You need to register again as an author. Your previous account can be deleted following an appropriate request submitted to a moderator.

It is impossible to change the login in the system. You can only change the name and surname by clicking on the "Account Settings" button in the "Account" widget in your account and enter the necessary data on the "Profile" tab.

An account can be deleted only if there hasn’t been any activity in it. If there has been any activity in your account, it can’t be deleted from eTXT. You can only disable it.

An account may be disabled for breaking the rules of eTXT (you’ve shared your personal contact information, such as email address, ICQ number, etc., or posted an article for sale that you had taken from the Internet which is strictly prohibited). If that’s the case, please contact our feedback team. We will either enable your account to disable it again if you break one of the rules again (perhaps, you’ll also lose some scores) or leave your account disabled.

Your account may be disabled immediately if you place orders and post articles contradicting the Agreement, as well as if you place orders and buy articles from yourself in order to improve your rating. If the account is disabled permanently, the funds left in your account are withdrawn to your purse after an appropriate request submitted to a moderator.

It is strictly forbidden to add links to the portfolio to competing resources (other content and freelance platforms) to the portfolio. eTXT Administration will consider such kinds of links as an advertisement of competing resources. These links will be removed from the portfolio, and penalties may be applied to the authors up to blocking the account.

Rating is credited and deducted AUTOMATICALLY when the client accepts/rejects the order, buys an article/cancels the order, or when an article is sold by the Administration according to the client’s/buyer’s request.
Both the client and the author will be credited 10% of the price of the order rounded off to 10. If the author refuses to do the order or the client cancels an expired order, points will be deducted from the author’s rating – the price of the order rounded off to 10. Points are deducted AUTOMATICALLY without the participation of administrators, moderators or clients. If the buyer refuses to buy an article, the author’s rating will return to the initial values. Ratings aren’t impacted by other subjective data.

If the rating was downgraded not due to the client's fault, the decision to restore the rating is taken by the client. To turn back the lost points, the author should write the client, then send a piece of correspondence confirming the consent to the Feedback.

The client can restore his rating by himself: for this, it is necessary to go to the “My Orders” section from the left menu and click on the “Cancel Orders” link located under the order search block.

The author's rating can be restored without the client's consent, if the order was not executed due to a reason related to the client's actions (due to a change in the initial requirements of the assignment, ignoring the author’s messages in private, etc.).

- Your rating is less than 10 scores;
- The user has blacklisted you.

A review may be deleted if a request has been submitted to a moderator. The reasons for deleting a review include:

1. Inaccurate/incorrect information;

2. Lack of corroborating evidence or unprovable statements, hearsay, forecasts, value judgments;

3. Insults, foul and inappropriate language, etc.;

4. A private message should have been used (the review contains a request or is a squabble between the two parties);

5. The review contains fragments of personal correspondence without the reviewee’s consent;

6. Failure to present some facts which may cause the Administration and other users to misinterpret the situation;

7. Information contained in the review isn’t related to eTXT (promotion of the reviewer’s services, etc.) or is irrelevant (for example, the task was to give likes on social media. A positive review about the author may give eTXT clients the wrong impression, so it’ll be deleted);

8. The complaints are, given the circumstances, incorrect. For example:

- The author submits a poorly written article complaining that the client’s demands are too high;

- The client complains that the article doesn’t meet his or her requirements, while the requirements haven’t been defined clearly;

- The review about the client posted by the author contains multiple grammatical, stylistic or other errors (a poorly written review may indicate the copywriter’s incompetence).

9. The situation described in the review took place outside of eTXT (for example, the review is about the use of inappropriate language while corresponding on a third-party website, etc.).

Note: if two or more reviews posted by the same user within a week are deleted, the option of posting reviews becomes unavailable to this user for one month automatically.

White and Black Lists have been created to provide greater convenience to users. You can whitelist a user if you’ve been satisfied with the work. After a while, you’ll be able to place orders so only the authors from your white list could see them and submit their proposals to them, or you’ll be able to create personal orders for the authors from your white list. Authors from your white list who are currently online will be highlighted in color for better convenience while finding the author.

A black list is a kind of filter to avoid working with the users who you don’t want to work with. Authors from your black list can’t submit their proposals to your orders. It won’t be shown in your Statistics that you’ve been blacklisted by a client whose account has been disabled.
Attention! You can blacklist any user even if you’ve never worked with or even talked to this user. Therefore, being blacklisted isn’t necessarily indicative of the author’s incompetence, inability to deliver a quality work, multiple errors, disrespect for other users, refusal to execute an order, negative comments, etc.

The Administration of the website is going to further improve the functionality of black and white lists.

If your account is blocked, the access to the e-wallet added to this account is blocked automatically as well (and this e-wallet cannot be added to another account). This rule is also actually in case of blocking the account of another user who also added your e-wallet number to his or her account. Please, note: don’t share your personal data (phone number, e-wallet number, and other data users can be identified on eTXT with) with a person – you are responsible for the possible consequences.

If eTXT administration puts the block on your account, new registration is prohibited.

1. It is forbidden to write positive or negative feedback to an author or a client if you haven’t work with him.
2. The author is prohibited to write feedback to the other author, and the client is prohibited to evaluate the other client’s work. The only exception is when one author buys an article from another author.
3. It is forbidden to write reviews that are not related to the characteristics of the professional qualities of the client and the literary abilities of the author. Reviews that do not have any meaning or are not related to work on the eTXT will be regarded as spam and deleted by the moderator. For example, “Thank you”, “Accepted”, “+”, “-”, “Leave a review”, etc., texts of entertaining and humorous nature, hidden advertising of any resources.
4. It is forbidden to use obscene language, insulting the honor and dignity of the project participants.
5. Keep in mind that a review is well-deserved gratitude from the client or the author! You should not write feedback after every completed work. It is better to write one detailed review, which will allow your colleagues to form an opinion about the user you characterize from a professional point of view.

If you do not agree with the feedback you have left, you can appeal it in the Feedback.
