You don't have to pay for membership. Free accounts have a 10% commission, versus 15% for vworker. Our paid commissions drop this as far as 3%.
You were happy moving your clients in to pay 15%?

Free accounts on Freelancer do pay 10% commission. But that's not the only difference. According to your own page (http://www.freelancer.com/membership/) free accounts only offer you 10 bids PER MONTH, 20 skills, 5 portfolio entries (why would you limit a freelancer ability to showcase his quality?)
So yes, I was happy. I personally feel I rather have someone charging me more and provide me a personal service, than pay less and have to pay more to be able to bid. Meritocracy is what should drive your limits upwards, not money.
