Fix Missing “Place Bid” Button

My Freelancer profile is fully filled out—email is verified and every required section, including picture, skills, and bio, is complete—yet the “Place Bid” button never appears on any project listings. I need someone who understands the inner workings of this platform to identify what is blocking the bidding feature on my account and guide me to a reliable fix.

Tasks will likely involve checking account settings, replicating the issue through a quick screen-share, and advising on any compliance steps or support tickets that must be raised. Once you pinpoint the cause, please walk me through the solution until I can successfully submit a bid on a live project.

Deliverable: clear step-by-step instructions (or real-time assistance) that restores my ability to bid.
