I have similar experience. I tried to bid to some projects there, but it's just seems to impossible. Every project got 50-100 bids and my bid is just lost. And, as I'm not going to work for free ($20/hr currently), probably my price and lack of reputation makes it impossible to win any project.
I like the idea of this site, but everyone undercuts so much. I live in a poor country, but even there I can make more on a full-time job.
It seems for me that freelancing is really hard. Much harder than work on local site.
