I posted my project on Elance —  how do I view the proposals I received for my project?

To see the proposals for your project:

1. Log in to the MyElance Main Menu.

If you are not logged in, enter your Elance username and password.

2.  Click on the 'Buyer Activity' > 'My Projects' link in the left navigation menu.

3.  Click on the project name or the number of proposals for the project in question.  Some proposals will be submitted as sponsored bids to get better visibility.  Elance does not endorse these sponsored bids, as they are submitted as such at the provider's discretion.

4.  Review the proposal comments. Click on a service provider's username to view their detailed profile, portfolio and feedback.

5.  Click on the Private Message Board (PMB) icon on the far right of the service provider's bid if you wish to interview them about their proposal.  If a service provider has placed a Prebid instead you will not find the service provider's bid amount displayed, and the status of the bid proposal will show 'Prebid.'  They need you to click on their PMB icon to answer their detailed questions so they can clarify the scope of the project and place an accurate bid price.
