Freelancer.com Payment Flow Tutorial

I’m new to the site and need a clear, jargon-free walkthrough of how payments, milestones, and fees work here—above all, I want to understand exactly when a freelancer actually receives their money.

Please create a concise guide (written or short video with annotated screens—whichever you find clearer) that covers:
• The life cycle of a milestone from creation, funding, work submission, employer release, through to the freelancer’s available balance.
• The timing of each step, including security-period holds and typical clearance times.
• All fees charged to both employer and freelancer at each stage, with current percentages or fixed amounts as shown on the site.
• Any edge-cases that can delay or block a release (disputes, incomplete profiles, verification checks, etc.).

I’m happy to read or watch a brief, well-structured explanation; just make sure every point above is answered in plain English so I can move forward with confidence.
