If you think that USD 0.05 is low, just take a look at the recent En>Pl and En>It job:
http://www.proz.com/job?id=30014
$4 per 300 words!
That\'s very generous pricing offered by \"Alex\" no name no address no nothing...
In my opinion this is so damn crazy, that I won\'t even bother to answer the bid to say how ridiculous this is.

It is only 0.013 but have a look 6 bids certainly somebody who is so crazy as the person who posted the job.Where are we going?
One day, we are going to pay to translate
but I have said what I think about these jobs and there are always somebody saying... we are poor in our country my house costs... etc etc... well I do not accept those things, the person who works for those price is a bad translator and for me I can respect those persons.

With more and more job postings of the aforementioned type, I daresay that ProZ gradually ceases to be a place for serious, professional translators to find assignments.
Merry Christmas everyone and God bless you!
