Frequently Asked Questions

I can’t get hold of the gig lister or worker after the gig has started? arrow-right
If after repeated attempts to communicate with the gig lister or gig worker via the chat portal, please get in touch with us. We need to see attempts on the chat portal to act on this.

A gig is a pre-defined task (or set of tasks) that has a specific expected outcome. On the gig exchange, it is FREE to list a gig under the services section.Services are fixed price or negotiable.

Yes, we take very seriously any behaviour that is threatening, violent, aggressive or harassing. We recommend all communication is through our chat portal, so we have an audit of this. Please contact us through our contact page.
