If you are interested in using the SMS alert facility you need to purchase credits through the website only because third parties charge us to provide the facility. The SMS fees are standard and packages are displayed in My Dashboard under My SMS.

To place a bid you must first be registered, logged in and have created a Public Profile.

Once you have completed the above, click on the Jobs tab, select a job that interests you and place your bid in the yellow space provided. It’s as simple as that! There is also an area provided for you to ask the person who posted the job questions about the required work.

An email or if setup an SMS alert will be sent to the person who posted the job stating that a bid has been placed on their job or that a question has been asked. The ball will then be in the their court as to which bid they will accept. The next step for you is to await a reply. If somebody else bids on the job you can choose to be alerted in the bids screen of your dashboard.

Go to your dashboard and select the My Jobs tab. Scroll down to the job required and click on the pick winner link. Once you’ve selected a bid your contact details will be released to the person you have chosen to complete you job in an email. At this point the job will be closed; however, you do have the option to re-open the job if for some reason it falls through.

When a job is re-opened, all previous bids will be voided. The reason for this is that the original job may have changed in the way of information or timeframe etc… so the bids you previously made will not be valid. You do have the option however, of inviting previous bidders to again look at your posted job and make a new bid.

The barter system was created to give customers more options. It is a flexible way of rewarding someone for providing a service without having money involved. There are many things you can barter with, you just have to be creative.

On the advertised jobs page there is a section where you can insert an image of the object you may want to use as your barter. There is also a field that allows you to name the bartering object and another section where you can include a description.

Objects are not the only thing you can barter with! You can barter with cooking meals, teaching a language, sewing clothes, walking a dog… absolutely anything that you believe could be of value to another person.

Barters are open to negotiation so if you’re not 100% sold on something that is on offer, make another suggestion to the other party.

The person providing a service has the option to enable a direct email link from their dashboard that will be visible on their public profile for you to converse with them. This is not a compulsory field and some people providing services may choose only to make contact with the customer after a bid has been placed and accepted, if the person who provides services has enabled this field you will find a link on their profile to send them a direct question.

At WhatcanYOUdo.com.au we take your privacy very seriously and we do not release any information. The system works in a way that you enable your contact details to be released to the person providing the service when you accept a bid or barter. An email is sent to the person providing the service stating that their bid or barter has been accepted by you and your contact details are then released to them. It is very important that you choose your bids and barters carefully if you have reservations about releasing your contact details.

Quotes are like an expression of interest and are not legally binding.

If you are someone who provides services, you need to make it very clear what is included in your quote and what is not.

If you are posting jobs, you need to make sure your advertisement details exactly what you want. If you decide to add extra things to the job as the work progresses you should expect your original quote to change and discuss this directly with the person completing your job.

We strongly recommend that you check the Profiles of people providing services for documents of their qualifications, insurances, licences and references if this is a concern to you. It is then your prerogative whether you want to hire them or not to complete your job.

You may also want to make it clear when posting a job that you will only hire accredited professionals for your job.

Depending on the size and importance of the job may depend on the required qualifications and expertise of the person providing the service, again this is your call.

WhatcanYOUdo.com.au is an online space that connects what people can do with what people want and visa versa. The company is not involved in the actual transactions between users, nor are we affiliated with any of the people who provide services, we merely offer a platform where both parties can connect, once connected we step out and you choose how to proceed. Any dispute which arises between a customers is to be resolved independently between the two parties.

Job alerts are sent to relevant persons who provide services when an advertisement is posted for a job relevant to them. The alerts are sent to their chosen email account and are also visible on their dashboard. Not all persons who providers services will have this function turned on in their Dashboard, so if you find a profile you like you can invite that person to bid on your job personally by looking at their profile using the Ask a Question function available.

You can choose to stop receiving job alerts by signing in, entering My Dashboard and then clicking on the My Alerts tab. By selecting the delete option beside each chosen category you will disable the alert. While this will stop you from receiving email alerts on new jobs and profiles, you will still get alerts for jobs you have posted or bid on.

This has been made very easy for you. When you place a bid on a job there is a function area where you can converse with the customer through typed comments.

Completing your profile with as much detail as possible is imperative. Make sure you upload important documents such as qualification certificates, references, licences, and insurance status as these may be important to some of you prospective clients. Photos and YouTube links would also be of interest to your clients so take advantage of the options provided and sell your service as best you can.

At this stage it is preferred that you post a job for each service you require
