Taskeeu vs DoneDeal services
DoneDeal is a large Irish classifieds site. Its services section carries ads from private sellers and traders for things like man with a van, home and garden services, tuition and tradesmen, and you contact the advertiser yourself.
On Taskeeu the flow is reversed: you post the task, local taskers bid, and the agreed price is held securely until you release it with a 6 digit code.
