Frequently Asked Questions

You pick how many days you want your listing to stay live, and pay 99¢ for each of those days up front — that's it. No plans, no tiers, no per-listing setup fee on top.

No. Every payment is a one-time charge for a fixed number of days. Nothing is stored to bill you again, and nothing renews automatically. When your paid days run out, you're welcome to add more — but we'll never charge you without you choosing to.

Never. The 99¢/day listing fee is the only thing you ever pay us. Whatever you charge, earn, or negotiate with someone through the platform is entirely yours. 99CentGigs is not an HR or recruiting platform. We never place candidates and never take a cut of a hire. Applicants contact you directly, and the 99¢ daily listing fee is the only thing you pay.

Your listing comes down automatically. It's not deleted right away — you can still renew it from My Listings for a little while after it expires — but it stops showing up in search and browse results.

Yes, anytime, from My Listings — whether it's still live or recently expired. You just pay 99¢ for each additional day.

Checkout runs through PayPal, which also accepts debit and credit cards without needing a PayPal account. We never see or store your card details.

A Gig is short-term or one-time work with a clear start and finish. A Job is an ongoing position with no set end date. A Service is something you offer on a standing basis, like cleaning or tutoring, that people come to you for. Volunteer posts are unpaid opportunities. See the options when you post to pick the right one.

Yes. It's free to create one, and you'll need it to manage your listing, see who's reached out, and pay for it to go live.

It's the one thing keeping the marketplace free of spam and throwaway listings. You can build and save a draft without verifying — it's only required at checkout, right before a listing goes live.

Immediately after payment clears — no review queue, no waiting.

Yes, anytime, from My Listings — no need to repost or pay again to fix a typo or update details.

Yes — both the Gig and Job forms have a "Hiring on a Rolling Basis" toggle for when you're constantly looking and don't have one fixed start date in mind.

To keep 99CentGigs safe and fair, these are not allowed:

• Scams and fake listings: jobs, gigs or services that don’t exist, or that exist only to collect money or personal information.
• Charging people to apply: no application fees, training fees, starter kits or “pay to get hired” offers.
• Pyramid schemes and multi-level marketing recruiting.
• Discrimination: listings may not exclude people because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or any other legally protected trait.
• Adult or sexual services, and anything involving minors in an inappropriate way.
• Illegal goods, services or work, including weapons, drugs and stolen property.
• Asking for sensitive information in a listing, such as Social Security numbers or bank details.
• Content you don’t have the rights to, such as someone else’s photos, videos or music.
• Spam: the same listing posted over and over, or misleading titles.

Listings that break these rules are removed without a refund, and the account may be banned. The full rules are in section 5 of our Terms.

Always free. Browsing, applying, and messaging a provider never costs a seeker anything — only the person posting the listing pays.

Yes, a free account — it's what lets the poster see who applied and lets you keep track of what you've applied to.

A quick match score shown when you view a job, gig, or volunteer listing, based on how well it fits what's on your profile — so you can tell at a glance if it's worth applying.

No — we don't independently verify posters or listings, the same as most classifieds sites. Use the same judgment you would anywhere online: meet in public for in-person work, and be cautious about sending money or personal information before you've confirmed who you're dealing with.

Active means the listing is currently posted on 99CentGigs: its poster has paid for that time (government jobs stay up until their closing date). It does not mean we have confirmed the job, gig, or service is still available. A position can be filled before its posting time ends, and posters can remove a listing at any time. Listings come down automatically when their posting time ends.

No — we don't recommend sending money, deposits, gift cards, or personal financial information to anyone before a job starts or work is verified. 99CentGigs never asks you to pay another user directly. If someone on a listing asks you to send money upfront, treat it as a red flag and Report Fraud.

Every listing page has a "Report This Listing" link. We review every report.

Yes. PayPal handles your payment details end to end — we never see or store your card or bank information.

Email our copyright team with a link to the post and proof it's yours. If valid, we will remove the content and issue a strike to the account. Repeat violators lose posting access. See our full DMCA Policy for what to include.

Yes. Submit a counter-notice through the same copyright contact. If the complaining party does not pursue legal action within the response period, we will restore your video.

First time: the video comes down and you get a warning. Second time: you also lose posting privileges for two weeks. Third time: your account is permanently closed. Strikes reset after a clean year.

Use Forgot Password on the sign-in page — a reset link goes straight to your email.

Yes — "Continue with Google" is on both the sign-in and create-account tabs.

You can remove any single listing yourself from My Listings. To delete your whole account, go to Dashboard > Settings > Delete My Account. Enter your password (Google accounts skip this), type DELETE and confirm. All of your listings come down, and your profile, resume, saved listings, applications and messages are removed. You won’t be able to sign in again, and this can’t be undone. Payment records are kept without your name, because business financial records must be kept by law.

Please contact Support first. Most problems can be solved quickly that way. If we can’t resolve it within 30 days, disputes go to individual arbitration instead of court, except small claims cases. You can opt out of arbitration within 30 days of creating your account. Details are in section 16 of our Terms. Disputes between you and another user are between the two of you, since 99CentGigs is not a party to those agreements.
