How do I place a bid on a project?
Click on the "Place Bid" button which you can find on the project page (there's one above and another below the list of current bids).

How do I update a bid I already placed on a project?
Just submit a new bid and your old one will automatically be removed.

How do I cancel a bid I placed?
Log in to the account management area, find the project, and click on the "retract bid" link.

What if I have a question about a project (that will help me place my bid)?
Just post a message on the message board for that project. You can access project specific message boards by clicking on the link provided on the project page.

Why can't I find the "Place Bid" button on the project page?
If the project is closed it does not show up, because bidding has ended. It will also not show up if the project is frozen, which means bidding has temporarily been stopped.

What is "bid for the total project"?
This is the amount (in GB Pound Sterling) that you will charge the project creator, if you are chosen. It's a project total, NOT an hourly rate.

What if I can't make an accurate bid? Can I just estimate how much I will charge for the project?
You should not make any estimates. The information provided should be enough to decide how long it will take you to finish the project. If there is not enough info, use the message board to ask additional questions to the project creator before placing your bid. Remember, by placing a bid you enter into a legally binding contract. If you abuse this system you risk receiving poor reviews by others, and possibly being banned from IT-HUB.
