Getting started
What is jobwhee?
Jobwhee is a marketplace for local services in Greece. A client posts a job, local professionals answer with their price, and the client picks one. The client's payment is held in Money in Secure and reaches the professional the moment the client approves the work. Posting a job and browsing cost nothing, and a service fee applies only on a job that is completed.
Do I need an account to look around?
No. Anyone can browse jobs and professionals. You sign in when you want to post a job, send a proposal or message someone.
Which languages does jobwhee support?
English and Greek, switch at any time. Your posts and messages stay the same, the interface changes around them.
Money in Secure and payments
What is Money in Secure?
Money in Secure is where a client's payment sits from the moment the job is funded until the client approves the work. Nobody can move it in between, and the professional can see it is there before starting.
How is payment handled?
The client funds the job before the work starts. The money waits in Money in Secure and is released when the client approves the work.
How soon does a professional get paid?
The payment leaves Money in Secure the moment the client approves. Reaching the bank takes one to three days, which is the bank's time and not ours.
Can a release be reversed?
No. Once the client presses Release the money is on its way to the professional and it cannot be called back. The confirmation says so before you press it.
Why pay only through jobwhee?
Payments made outside jobwhee are not protected by Money in Secure, and taking a job off the platform breaks the rules.
Fees
What does jobwhee charge?
A service fee on each completed job, charged to both sides and always shown before anything is agreed. Nothing to post a job, nothing to browse, nothing to send a proposal, nothing to make contact, and no subscription. The full breakdown lives on the fees page.
Is posting a job free?
Yes. Posting, browsing, sending a proposal and messaging are free.
For clients
How do I hire someone?
Post a job with what you need, where, and your budget. Professionals nearby answer with their price, and you pick one.
What if the work is not done?
You do not approve it, and the money stays where it is. If the two sides cannot agree, either can open a dispute and a person at jobwhee looks at the job and decides.
Is there a review system?
Yes. Clients and professionals review each other after every job.
For talents
How do I find jobs that match my skills?
Search by trade or skill and city, then narrow down by budget and scope.
How do I send a proposal?
Send your price, how long it takes and a short note on how you would do the job. The client reads the proposals and picks one.
How can I get hired more often?
Clients search by skill first, so keep your skills complete. Add a clear description, a photo and, if you can, a short video. Answer quickly and write each proposal for the job in front of you.
Do I issue my own receipts and invoices?
Yes. You issue your receipt or invoice yourself, with your own app or accountant, and upload it to the contract. You declare your income and pay your taxes yourself.
Account and safety
Does jobwhee check identity?
Stripe checks the identity of every professional before their first payout, as the law requires. Reviews from real jobs show you how others worked with them.
What if I have a problem with a client or professional?
Write to support@jobwhee.com, or open a dispute from the job. A person at jobwhee answers.
