No, you don't need to have the funds on your account before you award a freelancer. However, freelancers may request you to put up a Milestone Payment in part or in full before they start working. It is your discretion if you wish to create a Milestone Payment right after awarding your project.

Clients can cancel a project that has no pending or released payments. To cancel a project, follow these steps:

• Log in to your Freelancer.com account.

• Click My Projects.

• Click the title of your project to go to its main page.

• From the Payments tab, click End Project. For hourly projects with automatic billing on, click End  Billing. The End  Project button will appear after the automatic billing is ended.

• Select "My requirements have changed and I no longer require this work to be done" on the confirmation popup.

• Click Submit.

Projects that still have a pending Milestone Payment or invoice cannot be cancelled until the payments are settled or cancelled first. To know more, please click here.

Please be aware that we do not refund project fees. It's our part to introduce the two parties but the project's success still lies only between the client and the freelancer.

If your project has not been awarded yet and you no longer want to continue it, you can close the project instead. To do this, just go to the project's page, click the ellipsis icon (...) and select Close Bidding.
