On the flipside of that last comment I must add -- why oh why do so many service people (designers, programmers, etc) flush their own reputations down the shitter, especially for a lousy fifty or a hundred bucks? I don't get it. Isn't doing long-term business and having repeat customers and word-of-mouth recommendations a good thing?
A $100 bucks in the US will get you what, about a 17 minute stay in the hospital. :D

I was looking for cheap labor to do very easy work so i went to that site for it. I would use the site in the future next time I will make sure to stay on the site with the whole transaction. This was just like if i was buying somethign off of ebay but the guy suggested he close the auction and sell it to me directly, now i can't leave him bad feedback. So i learned my lesson on that fact, just because someone has good " feedback" doesnt mean they are good, that you have to still use the site so they have their feedback score on the line.
I would never pay someone up front that I did not know without having any recourse. I will get the money back through paypal, even if they didn't i would charge the shit back, but they will refund it back to me. I thought a few years back I was protected sending someone an epass payment, I found out the hard way on that one, that when you send epass it is the same as sending a wire transfer or cash. (which are two things I will never send upfront to someone i don't know.)
The things that baffles me is that people wont refund money. They think once it is in their hands it is theirs, period, regardless if they do the work or not. I don't think this person was on this site but I have had these type of problems from people who post here, or at least they use to.
