My account balance is 0$

It sounds to me like everything is working ok and there's just a little confusion around the dates for payment.

I can see 1 hourly assignment on your profile with $387 earned. So I think we're talking about the right job.I think this should cover both #1 and #3:

• You were hired on September 28.
• Assuming you actually started logging hours on September 29, your first week's pay (9/29-10/5) was billed to the buyer on October 9. 10% of the buyer's payment goes to the oDesk fee, and the rest is shown as pending on your account.
• It will become available on October 15, six days after it was paid, just like the Payment Schedule says.

$387-10% does not equal $331.60, so I suspect that you logged just over 31 hours your first work week, and a few more hours during the work week of 10/6-10/12. That time will be billed on 10/16 and available on 10/22.

Since I use a Mac, and the Mac client doesn't have an earnings meter, I can't be positive about my answer to your 2nd question. But I suspect the difference is due to the meter showing a continuous running total, while your account is updated on a weekly billing schedule. If you want to check your earnings progress daily on the website, you should look at your Timelog not your account activity.
