This is a reason you shouldn't be writing on oDesk/eLance.
I recently hired a writer on iWriter to write 500 word articles at $3/each. Turns out he was hiring writers on eLance, getting the content then stiffing them on their fees making $3 an article for some of his time, and a lot of wasted writers time.
It sucks, and I am sure it's not what you are going through...but its possible. This is what you do when you sacrifice control. Handing over writing without payment is the definition of a total lack of control.
Sorry dude Don't kill the messenger.
