Freelancer Plus is now active. I verified a live balance of 150 Connects through Upwork. The Shopify QA and rug spreadsheet jobs are still active, nobody has been hired for either, and both now report can_apply=true. Their current application costs are 14 and 9 Connects, so the two base bids would consume 23 and leave 127 if unchanged.
The bridge is repaired, and the funding ticket is closed. Read the private proposal-review feedback, tighten the Shopify scope and opening, clarify the rug quantity/source/template before a firm commitment, and queue the revised proposals for the existing review process. Do not treat the earlier drafts as already approved. Answer the Shopify screening questions in the required fields. Recheck cost and job status immediately before any submission; no boost or additional purchase is requested here.
Plus makes actual bid statistics available. Current observed bids: Shopify USD 20 to 25, average 23.96; rug sheet USD 45 to 150, average 142.83. These are observations, not a reason to promise unclear scope or match the cheapest bid. The draft prices of USD 25 and USD 150 are within the current ranges.
