WhoCanDo - Auction Jobs Online is Australia's marketplace for trades and services. The quotation and reverse
auction system saves time and money for anyone who wants to buy or sell
services. As an example, imagine you want your house painted. You just post the
job on WhoCanDo's website and painters are quoting for your job.
And it is very easy to use. The buyer is guided through all the important
questions so that the bidders get a good job description. Then the buyer can sit
back and wait for quotes to come in.
WhoCanDo alerts all the relevant businesses in the area about the auction and
invites them to bid. To ensure the best possible response, registering and
bidding is free of charge.
Once the auction is completed, the buyer receives a list of all bids and a 360
profile of every bidder including available licences, insurances,
qualifications, history of the company, and feedback from previous customers.
The buyer does not have to select the cheapest bidder and also has the
opportunity to reject all bids. During and after an auction a messaging system
is available for bidders and buyers to discuss the details of the auction.
WhoCanDo has a multi-level identity check in place so you know you can trust the
people you are dealing with on the system.
No more chasing tradesmen, waiting for on-site visits and quotes which are often
hard to compare. What took 11 hours the traditional way takes now only 20
minutes on WhoCanDo – from when you think about finding a service provider to
agreeing to a contract.
WhoCanDo is for buyers who want to find a high-quality service quickly at a fair
price. It is the efficient and effective way of locating services, easier than
looking up a directory and then calling numerous numbers to try and get quotes.
You don't need to wait around at home, in order to get a quote; it is all done
securely online, protecting the privacy of bidders and buyers.
It is also great for people, who might not know much about trade services; they
can look at others feedback and feel safe about these people coming into their
homes.
What about fees?
You can post and bid on as many jobs as you like – and it is free of charge.
There are only a few small fees for premium services, which are optional:
Success Fee
For a limited time, WhoCanDo does not charge success fees. The bidder has 14
days to evaluate all bids. A small success fee is only due if the buyer is happy
with a bid and selects one. There is no success fee if the buyer rejects all
bids. Depending on the size of the job, the success fee is between 1% - 4.5% of
the selected bid.
Additional Designs
You may also choose extra formatting options like adding bold, colour or
additional images to your online auction. This will attract a minor fee, but
will also help your auction to stand out and attract more bidders.
SMS notifications
Email notifications are free of charge. Members can have SMS messages sent to
them for a fee.
