Other freelance marketplaces (which I am not allowed to mention names) charge up to 15% on top of tiered monthly fees to either apply for more jobs or apply to jobs in multiple categories.
Personally, meaning I'm not speaking for oDesk at this point, but as a Provider as well: I think 10% is extremely fair - especially since I set my rates according to what I want to make, and oDesk adds their fees on top of it. I can apply to jobs in multiple categories (which I have done in the past) for no additional fees. Not to mention the fact that payment on hourly jobs are guaranteed and weekly - this means I have a steady income stream and not having to wait for milestones or entire projects to come to an end before I get paid. All of that makes it well worth the $3 off the top of my hourly rate.
