I feel these are the 2 best writing sites? I know a good writer who has applied for a writing position as an independent writer with custompapers.com but I want to compare their writers with the ones from essaysoncall. Does anyone here work for essaysoncall.com, I've ordered essays from them and they have been great, but their human resource department sucks balls. So, again, anyone have experience with these sites as a client or perhaps as a writer?

Thanks.

Why not suggest all writers to apply to both sites Ron? There is no rule saying you can't work for multiple companies.

I've never heard of essaysoncall. Would like to hear info about them too if anyone knows.

[Moved from]: essaysoncall?

Asked them for a quote yesterday $400 for a full paper and $350 for an annotated fact sheet and $300 for an essay plan. Not much I thought for a 5000 word project.

Managed to find some pride and belief in myself, so I rejected their offer and got my finger out.

Today they emailed me saying that the writer would do the whole project for me for only $250.

If it was 1995, I would probably stay on their site one minute. 13 years later it's not worth to even look at this. A "company" using a free email account and free shared hosting account on a subdomain? Where are their contact details other than a free email account?

It was probably created and run by a freelance writer, that's all.

That is an excellent opportunity for you. Where I work, bargaining is never done. Are you sure that they are prepared to do 5000 words for a mere $250?

Yeah, thats what it said in the email. Not really an excellent oppertunity though, as how can anyone expect to take such an offer seriously. For one thing an essay plan for $300 is a bit rich as it would probably take up maybe a whole 2-3 pages. Seeing as its a mathematical peice as well for all I know I could be giving it to someone who couldn't count the number of fingers they had on each hand. So no I wont be taking them up on the offer.

Paying some of these companies money to either do research or write for you is a bit like throwing $500 on a horse with one leg and hoping that all the other horses have none.

I browse this forum a lot, but never have created a username. I feel I can add some insight here.

Yeah, essaysoncall.com in the past has either given me really expensive quotes for easy work or really cheap quotes for hard work. It seems their managment cant find a balance.

From what I understand afer applying with essaysoncall.com is that they are a bay area based company and most of their writers are recent graduates of San Francisco State, berkeley, and stanford. I got turned down because I only have a bachelors degree.

I agree with MaxJustMax having someone to do your work is like "throwing $500 on a horse with one leg and hoping that allt he other horses have none."

phd disertation essaysoncall and custompapers are the only ones that deliver for me consistently. Those are the only ones I'll reccomend.

You know, even I get tired of repeating the same message.

I think it's pretty clear that NOBODY reads the TOS when signing up.

I hope that the moderator will add a "sticky" message at the top of the main forum page clearly stating that recommendations, site promotion, job offers, and job requests are not allowed. ;)

Custom Essay CallI used to write for essaysoncall, so I feel I can shed some light on this. Essaysoncall uses a central bidding system. This system is great for the customers, but not so great for the writers. The writers there are always trying to out-bid each other and sometimes back-and-forth bids go on between writers for minutes, pennies at a time.

What is good, however, is that they pay you via Paypal immediately after you complete an assignment. The reason why I quit working for essaysoncall.com is that I wasn't getting enough work.

What is actually interesting is that before I got hired, they called the University in which I received my masters degree from. It takes a while to get hired too, they do a phone interview.

I really wouldn't recommend working for them because they don't get enough work- If you do want to pursue a career wiath essaysoncall, be sure its not the only company you work for.

I chose essaysoncall for my paper and it is currently 3 days late and they stopped answering my emails. My paper was due monday and they didnt tell me it was gonna be late until the day after. they said I would definitely have it tuesday and now its thursday and I havent heard from them.

Can anyone give me advice. essaysoncall hasn't been answering my emails and now I just want my money back. I'm now gonna try custompapers.com. If I get burned again I'm screwed.

Ilit,

Let it go. It's the risk you take in this business. Try custom papers, if you get a good writer you're golden. Try Jessica from custompapers.com.

Ilit, you can complain through paypal. You have to do it within a short period of time, like a month from the purchase, so initiating the complaint through paypal asap is important. If they don't answer Paypal, then you'll be automatically refunded after a short period of time.

You can dispute it on Paypal, you ususally don't get the money though in my personal experience. You've got to be careful of which companies you choose. Custompapers.com, and phd dissertation are the only ones that have done me will in my experience.

just got my paper back from custompapers.com and they did an awesome job. My assigned writer did it in 1 day too. I didnt go with them first because they were 10 bucks more expensive :), guess I learned my lesson.

A "company" using a free email account and free shared hosting account on a subdomain?

Let's not be judgemental here. Everyone who eventually became a company owner had to start somewhere. For most of us, freemail and shared hosting was the most cost beneficial deal we could get. They develop a more personal representation as business improves and the money starts rolling in. This sort of start says "allow me to prove myself". A chance that I know all new independent writers crave.

Essayoncall is not a company anybody wants to deal with. Their customer care has been known to black client Ip addresses and phone numbers after the paper is paid for. They are in the business of collecting cash, not writing papers. The writer contact method is another problem.The writers don't respond to messages. Since customer care is down, the student is on his own. Working for them is the same deal, they don't pay. When they do it could be cup to a quarter delayed or incomplete when paid out monthly. It is just bothersome to work for them. Best to avoid working for them if you can.
