The platform charges service providers for every lead, even when customers contact multiple professionals simultaneously and hire none. This creates an unjust environment where legitimate experts lose money while unregulated individuals can undercut prices. Additionally, there is no protection against false or damaging reviews, even in cases where no work was done. The service needs to be more transparent: ✔ One lead = one provider
✔ Refunds for unresponsive customers
✔ Moderation of reviews when they are misleading Until these changes are implemented, professionals like myself are left paying without a fair opportunity to succeed.
