I tried this Deskgigs service.  Deskgigs is the intermediary for selling services.  I made a mistake in using Deskgigs.  My bad for using Deskgigs.  The only way to contact Deskgigs is through their interface.  Deskgigs has no phone number listed.  Deskgigs has no fax number listed.  Deskgigs has no physical address listed.  Ooops.  After searching, it appears Deskgigs may be located in Slovakia or Israel.  The phone number attached to Deskgigs when we disputeded the transaction in PayPal has a Slovakia country code - 421.  Other websites say Deskgigs is located in Israel.  When you make a purchase from Deskgigs, you can use either PayPal or Payza.  We chose PayPal.  We come to realize that PayPal's purchase protection does NOT apply to purchases sent electronically, e.g., a logo.  Ooops again.  Lesson learned there for the future.  In either case, we contacted Deskgigs 3 times to try to handle the situation amicably.  We ordered custom programming from a vendor through Deskgigs.  And, the code that was sent to us through Deskgigs' service did not work.  We contacted Deskgigs through their online contact form, as there appears to be no other way to contact Deskgigs. First, Deskgigs alleged we did not act in 72 hours.  Deskgigs is right.  We responded in less than 48 hours.  Secondly, Deskgigs alleged that we accepted the faulty code and closed the transaction.  No. Why are we contacting Deskgigs if we received what we actgually paid for?  Thirdly, Deskgigs alleges we left positive feedback.  No.  We left no feedback, Deskgigs. Why? We never received the goods as promised,Deskgigs.  So, Deskgigs, we disputed the transaction with PayPal.  And, Deskgigssuspends our account, deletes the transactions we made, and threatens to report us to law enforcement.  Whoah! Be aware that we contacted Deskgigs 3 times before opening a dispute through PayPal. 

We have just been informed by PayPal that you filed a dispute for order 
#XXXXXXX: 

Your Paypal transaction ID is: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Your account has been temporarily suspended, also your Paypal account may also get suspended by Paypal. To avoid getting your account suspended or permanently deleted, we ask that you resolve this matter quickly by closing the dispute in your PayPal account and contacting Deskgigs support directly. The Deskgigs support team is committed to work with you in order to solve your problem but you must close your Paypal dispute in order for us to be able to help you. 

If we do not hear from you within 72 hours, your account will be permanently deleted and your access to Deskgigs will be blocked. We work closely with Paypal and law enforcement to stop fraudulent activities. 

Contact us after you have closed the dispute in Paypal. Support is located at 
Deskgigs.com/support 

Thanks, Deskgigs Support 

Yes, Deskgigs.  I'm only a layperson.  But, in my opinion, that sounds like blackmail.  And, I already contacted your Deskgigs support through your own, online interface THREE TIMES before we filed the dispute, remember?  That being said, we DID contact them one more time, as the email requested; and, of course, they did not reply.  No surprise there.

Anywho, there are many other services like Deskgigs, e.g., fiverr.  But, beware, as none of these intermediary service sites seem to have any phone number or method of contact other than email.  And, they look very much like one another.  Pay Deskgigsthrough a third party service using your own credit card so that you have an avenue for dispute in case you get ripped off.
