Frequently Asked Questions
How do payments work?
All payments are processed securely through Stripe. For jobs, payment is held in escrow until the job is completed. For rentals, you pay the rental fee plus a refundable damage deposit upfront.
What if something goes wrong?
Photo documentation at pickup and return helps resolve disputes. If there's damage to a rental item, the owner can claim from the damage deposit. For job disputes, contact support with evidence.
How do reviews work?
After completing a transaction, both parties can leave reviews. Reviews are visible on user profiles and help the community identify trustworthy neighbours.
Can I reject applicants or requests?
Yes, job posters can accept or reject applicants. Item owners can approve or decline rental requests. Rejected users can reapply after a 30-minute cooldown period.
