I hired 3 different elictricians through your site, the first one ripped me of went hundreds, the 2nd Match electric could not complain a good honest working young man, unfortunately he couldn't do my last job so I hired David Lynch who stated he could do it in less than a day for $850 cash, he did a bit which I was impressed then he took off in the middle of the day or a few hours, I also gave him $50 to install 5 smoke detectors, was aboustley horrified when I replaced some pictures on my floor that he had moved to cover up large tubing he had used inside my cupboard, no refund for work not done and had to clean up after him, deceitful and dishonest and no reply from service seeking, no apparent trail due to cash in hand, Wanted to hire someone to help with more work, this man has put me off!!!!!!!! At least the taxation department is interested

Please can you help me?
I hired cleaners from this site and I need some help as to how to proceed now please. The man (who I imagine owns the company) will not give me a receipt for the money I paid him until I write a positive feedback comment on his services. This cannot be right - is that not extortion?
I have paid him $1,290.00 in cash for services and he will not receipt it.
I am very concerned.
Please do not pass on my email or further contact information to this person - he has my mobile number but I do not want him to have other information about me.
Please can you contact me and help me.
Thank you

Hi there, We're really sorry to hear you've had trouble with one of the tradies registered with us. Please contact us directly through [email protected] so that we may follow up with the cleaner for you. Just to set your expectations, our authority as a website is limited so we can't really force businesses to issue an invoice. It would still be best to consult Fair Trading or Consumer Affairs for legal advise. Cheers!

Hi Jim!

You can log in directly to your ServiceSeeking account with your email and password. There should be a 'Close Quoting' button at the top right corner of the job listing page. Selecting a business to hire from your end closes the job listing as well.

Cheers!

Your review system does not allow for text messages for confirmation with the installer so I can't send it. Any suggestions? Jim

ServiceSeeking S.ServiceSeeking.com.au

Hi Jim, Sorry, We're not quite sure what you mean. Reviews can be left directly through the business's profile online. If you need to send an SMS it would be best to do so using the mobile number on the profile as online reviews can't be sent through SMS. I hope this helps. Cheers!

Hi, I am thinking of joining as a tradesman (painter) just for a month to see how it goes, but reading the reviews, it has me questioning the wisdom of this! If I pay the $50 for a month of leads, is that it for my outlay, or do I have to pay again if I actually get the job?

Hi Tim! You only have to pay one monthly (or yearly) fee to quote on jobs on the site - no extra charges when you win work! It's free to set up an account. Just go to https://www.serviceseeking.com.au/list-your-business and fill in the form. Once your account is set up, one of our business consultants will ring you to walk you through the site to help you out. Cheers!

Good luck getting a job from the leads you quoted. There are thousands of painters joined and the competition cant be described.
Dont believe what they tell you as they only want your business. As a painter i dont advice you but its your decision mate. Good luck

Do trades people ring me or do I ring the trady?

ServiceSeeking S.ServiceSeeking.com.au

Hi Tony, depening on your notification preferences you've either elected to receive phone calls/text messages or emails only when you posted your job. Tradies will ring you if you've provided your phone number and allowed to receive calls.

When you log into your account, you'll also see a range of matched businesses and you can contact those tradies directly. Alternatively, you can also find business' contact details from searching the ServiceSeeking business directory here: https://www.serviceseeking.com.au/business_directory/search
