$4 actually works out to a good wage in many Third World countries, india for example has an average monthly wage of $110, when broken down, its clear to see why many in these countries flood to freelance sites to make money.

I also wonder of those that get work that is sub-par, how many people actually cancel and request the $5 back, given that it really is so little to most and many of the freelancers on there will at least attempt to 'fix' issues.
