One thing to be clear on: you should never pay to apply for a job, and the avoiding job scams page covers that rule. A gig marketplace where you sell your own services at your own rates is different. A couple of platforms here charge a disclosed registration or profile-review fee to join as a provider, which is a cost of joining the marketplace, not an application fee. They carry the Join fee badge with the amount so you can decide with the price in front of you.
