ScriptLance payment question

[DomainMiner.com]

A bunch of the bids are only $5-10.

So for example, webmaster PayPals $7 to the programmer, and ScriptLance bills the webmaster $5? So in the end he spends $12 from PayPal account.

But it sounds like SL charges both webmaster & programmer? If they charge the programmer, then he gets $7 and pays $5, so that doesn't make much sense...

Are the programmers ducking the SL fees or what?

Well, scriptlance does charge those fees to both webmasters and programmers. Many projects do go for $10 - which means the programmer ends up clearing $5 for the work. I got kinda tired of their higher fees, so I've decided to start my own freelance board - lower fees, and free to the webmasters, so the webmasters can afford to pay a little more to the developers. There's others springing up too - however, scriptlance is still the most popular by far. Here's a few examples:

They are free and good, offer good customer support also.
