Rent-A-Coder DOES Side With The Buyers! Don't work for DIRT, when they aren't even on your side

Rent-A-Coder reports on usacomplaints.com have all been responded to by who I can only assume are arbitrators who work for rentacoder.com. ONE even had the nerve to say that there are over 100 coders who will agree that rentacoder does not always side with the buyer. This link was given (http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/misc/Lists/ArbitrationWonBy_Coder.Asp)

by reviewing these coders profiles. You will notice that ALL have performed several jobs with rentacoder, thus earning rentacoder money. Of COURSE rentacoder is going to side with the coder when the coder is making them more money than the buyer.

But that isn't what we're talking about.

What about the coder who actually has potential, and works their butt off for nothing (if you are registered with rentacoder, you will agree that the work if FOR NOTHING) and is still shunned and charged a bogus cancellation fee after losing an arbitration?

In my last, most recent, arbitration (the first one with an irate client MIGHT I ADD) I was insulted profusely by the buyer, and overall treated like I was in middle school with his responses. I'd like to also add that I was ONLY being paid $15 for the job, which means that I was making less than that, as rentacoder charges a 15% fee (so if you want to get paid a good amount of money for a job, think again—because they're going to charge you, and then the government is going to tax it to you for taxes if you make over $600 with them.)

All the arbitrator offered to do was self mediate. Are you kidding? You want us to negotiate with each other? At one point I had to actually REFUSE to reply to him because of his remarks to me, how do they expect to brush us under the rug and try and make us self mediate? What are the arbitrators even THERE for if they can't solve a dispute?

I mocked up several examples for this client, and worked two days on the project, for LESS than $15 that I didn't even GET might I add, and was still made a full of, with all *10 (excellent) ratings under my belt, and tens of clients who are ALL happy.
