FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions about the Mates Rates platform
Why is there a $0 service fee on workers?
We don't charge workers a service fee on jobs to allow workers to stick to their quote and not have to offer up on jobs to account for hefty service fees. This both benefits posters and workers as posters end up paying less overall and our Mates get exactly what they quote in their pocket. Meanwhile posters can take advantage of accessing our prompt customer service team for any enquiries to ensure the job gets done smoothly.
How many different services are there on Mates Rates?
We offer over 20 different categories of workers from Gardeners to Web Designers. Mates Rates is designed to accommodate any service that needs to be done. As long as you describe your task with the job keywords our workers set to notify them about, we will more than likely have someone to do the job!
Is it free to post and get a feel for prices?
Yes! You pay nothing to post a job. You can view offers and the profiles of our Mates until you feel you are ready to get the job done. The payment is withheld when you accept an offer and released to the worker upon completion of the job. This means that if there is a change of plans for whatever reason you can get in contact with us for a prompt resolution and a refund.
How do I get paid?
As a worker on the platform you are paid through Mates Rates direct to your designated account via the Stripe Platform. All you have to do is make an offer on the job, complete the job and request payment and upon it being released the funds will be in transit to your nominated account. This usually takes between 3-5 days. Stripe will initially ask for your details and a brief description of your line of work. All of your details are managed safely by Stripe as our trusted payments infrastructure provider.
