My thoughts for a good freelancer platform (after having used them extensively) --

1. Require specs. If needed make this be marketplace listed work too, to write a spec.

2. Require flat-priced projects. Site moderators will handle scope-creep disputes.

3. Track each project's overall cost and analyze how much each developer actually costs for projects.

I think this would help eliminate the problem that low cost hourly devs sometimes make up for their pricing in quantity.
