How do I sign in?
Use your email. We send a magic link, no password. If email isn’t set up on this server yet, the site will show the link on the page so you can still get in.
How does bidding work?
It’s a reverse auction. Neighbors offer their price. The poster sees bids cheapest-first, with the lowest one marked, and can still pick anyone. Bidding is free and unlimited.
What do you charge?
Nothing to join or bid. Your first five gig posts are free, then 50¢ to publish another. When a poster accepts a bid they pay a $2 connection fee. We never take a percentage of the job. You pay the neighbor directly.
When do we see each other’s contact?
After the poster pays the $2 connection fee. Then both people can message in the app and see email addresses. Losing bids are marked “not selected.”
Example listings
A few gigs are marked Example so you can see how bidding works. Those posters are sample neighbors and won’t accept a real bid. Listings without that badge are regular posts on the board.
