How? You charge up-front I suppose to someone you don't know, which means
that you pay for something with no assurance of quality work or unrealistic
delivery times if at all.

If you pay by Credit Card then the provider is not interested, and if you
pay by bank or paypal they are not interested either. So you end up in a
catch 22; Do I use someone on trust? Or Do I do it myself? Or Do I use
someone I know?

So if you want to use someone you don't know, then they are trusting you to
pay. So the person who doesn't pay then should be blacklisted, otherwise new
freelancers will never get work. End of... On my end
