I've used this service once and had a great experience. I needed a logo, had little/flexible requirements, and offered $300. Once my partner and I decided on a design we liked, we checked out the designer's profile and saw all the contests he won in the past, all his submissions, etc. They were all quality - the real deal and not just another guy with a pirated copy of Photoshop. We then contacted him with some minor requests and he made the changes within hours of our email. This process continued for the duration of the contest and it was nothing but a good and easy experience. End result - we got a great logo we love.
Feedback is key to this process! And definitely check out the designer's profile and his other submissions. It's a good way to see their style and if it matches your tastes. Also a good way to see if they just submit a generic logo and just modify the text for each contest they enter.
