Ebay for sevices - on-line auction for services

VillageBid.com is a different way to shop for service providers! Just post your work and have the service providers (plumbers, painters, mechanics etc.) bid for your work!
Benefits of VillageBid for Service Providers The service workers appreciate VillageBid.com because it’s free and they don’t have to spend the time and money to go to your home or business to give a quote. Furthermore, the service provider can choose the work they want to bid on and pace their work schedule. Small businesses pay a fortune on Yellow Page advertisements with VillageBid.com the small business owner can post a detailed profile of their company for free!
Benefit to the Buyer You don’t have to leaf through the Yellow Pages making call-after-call, shopping for prices, hoping to get a return call. VillageBid.com can save you time by having the service providers contact you with prices and information about your specific job!
Rate the Service Provider and the Service Buyer Let’s face it, there are unscrupulous vendors and deadbeat buyers. VillageBid.com is a community in which there is culpability for people who do not do the right thing. If either a service provider or service buyer receives negative rating they must leave the village!
VillageBid.com is a community based on a fundamental social contract

Build the Village If you need something done, but don’t see it listed on the Service Directory, you can invent it. Add a new category and see what kind of response you get. If you have some unique need VillageBid is the place to go. It is a social networking Village for services. There may be someone who can easily perform what you want or need, but didn’t think anyone would need it. An example might be you need someone to take your elderly mother grocery shopping once a week. Or you have a special-needs child that requires a special physical therapy at home, and you need an extra set of hands to perform it. (Yes, these are real needs that were met by reaching out on Villagebid.com.) By sharing what we need and what we can do, we can connect and make each other’s lives a little easier.
Sometimes it takes a Village to get through life.
