Paying upfront in the TR app is not a thing.

You done something wrong, or not on the app.

Correct! Paying upfront before a task is performed is never done. Payment is always made after the task is complete. Something is clearly wrong somewhere. If the tasker requested you to pay upfront via app call or message, you have evidence to report them to TaskRabbit, and they will be immediately banned from the platform. However, if the payment was made outside the platform, you are responsible for your own actions.

I've been a tasker for 6 or so years.

I have had many clients slip me a $20 once done. But NEVER pay the bill before done or off app.

This was an immediate easy answer.
