An Experiment of a Webmaster

I don’t like to haggle, but I really like the “marketplace” type feel of buying services. A forum that I frequest has a section where people can announce their services and buyers reply in the post. Its a chance for people to promote their services without having any real established presence like a dutch auction on ebay for services. You can even read feedback on people and they have reputation based on not only their sales, but what people think of all of their posts.

I enjoy this type of system way more than going to a website and buying because you can read the back and forth chat between the seller and the buyers. They normally come back on with feedback after their sales too.

I’m going to look into this a little more and report on it. I’ve ordered services from a guy in india for directory submission that people seem to be pleased about. It should be done today or tomorrow and I’ll hopefully begin to see results in the search engines.
