No. Send an offer on free help tells the requester you may be willing. It does not assign you, does not create a booking, and does not create a charge. The requester can ignore it, talk in Messages, or accept the zero-price offer. Acceptance is still not a staffing order and not a payout.
Where to go
The requester still chooses. They can ignore the offer, talk in Messages, or accept the zero-price offer. Acceptance is not a staffing order. Withdraw offer if you can no longer help.
What to do
- Send the offer only if you can do the scope you wrote.
- Watch Messages for a reply.
- Withdraw offer if you can no longer help.
- Do not show up at an address that was not agreed in the thread.
What you should see
The request page shows Send an offer for free help only when offer help is available. You fill Confirmed scope and deliverables and an optional Message. The form says sending an offer does not charge you. Post request does not create this arrangement. A priced Send an offer is a different action, submit proposal, and it is hidden on free help.
What this does not mean
- The request stays the requester’s.
- A second interested person does not displace the first automatically.
- Paid work needs a separate priced offer.
