Understanding Account Types on Efrelance
Let's review everything you need to know about the different account types, how to create a buyer account, and how to activate your seller account.
Types of Accounts
Before diving into the steps for creating or activating your account, it's important to understand that all accounts created on Efrelance are buyer accounts by default.
Buyer vs. Seller Account:
- Buyers can purchase services (Gigs) from sellers on the Efrelance platform.
- Sellers can offer their services through Gigs to buyers on the Efrelance platform.
The distinction between a buyer account and a seller account only arises when a buyer decides to start offering services as a seller.
Note:
- Before you can create and sell Gigs on Efrelance, you need to activate a "seller" account.
- Activating your seller account and creating Gigs can only be done on a desktop.
- All sellers are reviewed during the sign-up and Gig creation process and are subject to approval by Efrelance.
