Unfortunately, this is misleading for Sellers. A lot of Sellers have replied to this post without reading the FAQ in the link. Here is the actual answer from the link in this message: So in essence, when the entire order is completed, then you will get paid for the milestones completed. After you complete each milestone, you will not be paid for that milestone, until the entire order is completed. This is good for the buyer, not the seller. If you’re a seller with a $2000 project, for example, and you want money for each milestone (in order to pay bills, rent, etc.), then I strongly suggest that you do not use milestones. Instead, create a separate order for each milestone. In this way, you will actually get paid for each milestone. If you use milestones, again, you will not be paid upon the completion of each milestone, but instead upon the completion of the order, as is stated in the official FAQ. If I am wrong, then the FAQ needs to be updated in the link ASAP.
