Welcome to the "Web Projects" forums. Before you post, make sure you've selected the correct category based on the size of your project (in US dollars), or whether it is a partnership or "looking for work" request instead. Observe the guidelines for this section:
To all thread starters, check your "pm" box for responses, as that's how bidders will be communicating with you mainly using. You can turn on new pm notification by going to "User CP"-> "Edit Options"-> "Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages".
To respondents, avoid replying to a thread with a short generic response like "pm sent" as much as possible. It is pointless and clutters up the screen.
To respondents, don't reply to a work request with a summary of your resume. If you're not willing to spend the time to at least read the request and respond specifically to the request, then don't reply. The Web Projects forum isn't a place to get your resume/ portfolio posted on as many threads as possible, it's for the direct, human interaction between coder and client. Members who blanket the forums with their resume replies will be treated as spammers and banned.
To all thread starters, please update your thread's prefix to "resolved", when you've found a coder for your project or partnership (or wish to terminate the request). This is so coders don't waste time bidding on an invalid project. To do this, click on the "Edit" button under the first post of the thread, then the "Go Advanced" button. You have 14 days to update your thread's title.
That is what I told the OP then he said that his account was limited because he was unverified which is true that can happen but the limits are still pretty high even when unverified which is 500 USD.

Nope, had no word from him for a couple of days now... he won't pay now, the little weasel got his code.
Funny... same guy offered me $150 to do this EXACT SAME job (he had it posted in a different thread though and then all subsequent contact with me was via PM and email) -- see quote below. I wrote 90% of the code to show that it was, in fact possible, and then provided samples on my server via email within 24 hrs. As a rule, I never provide I finished code to any client until they are paid in full, so he got a nice interface and functionality example from me (that worked), but no access to the actual code. (As he wanted to run it locally only, so even if he managed to hack my code, it wouldn't have worked for him the way I presented it in the samples)
Sent 7 emails and several PM's to see if it was acceptable (so I could zip it up and send the final deliverable to him) once he sent the promised PayPal payment. Never got a single response back.
Oh well... it didn't take up much time and actually ended up helping out another person in need of a similar script, so I just donated what I'd already written to them. I believe in karma.

There should be ways to enforce a fair deal, the task for the money, vice versa. I probably agree that its good to just give a sample and then they have to pay a fraction otherwise there's no deal.
Thankfully this OP has been an aberation . The others have been polite, responded in a timely manner and did pay for the work provided. I don't usually respond to requests that include "willing to pay" in the title. I prefer to just offer free suggestions and potential solutions. But in this economy I'm willing to take the chance every so often when I have some free time. Luckily this is the only scammer I've come across thus far!
Thankfully, after so many years in this industry, i've learned to provide just enough to ensure I don't get ripped off
