how would i start this lucrative venture?

While calling around looking for service for, transmission repair, computer repair, pest control, yard keeping and so on, I realized I made 10 calls on average, to give someone money. THEY SHOULD BE FINDING ME So that is why i thought of eservice.com ( not mine)where contractors can bid on your service. You would post what you would need in the right subject much like ebay, but instead of products, services. Sample I need to resurface my cabinets. mid sized need done by end of june. Please only licensed contractors bid contract john- i will do it for $1300 we do deluxe work and will do it in a week Contractor Tim- 7 yr experience $750 call # LOCAL! Now as a consumer I would interview them till I find the one I like and offer them the bid. Eservices collects a small member fee from the contractor (10 a month) and 5% of the agreed project price. win win win. Someone help me with this idea to get it launched. ebay does not verify the products before they are sold, neither would this sight verify work, thats the buyers job to do a hsitory search. this could be for local oil changes ect thanks for the feed back

1. Conceptually a good idea. Here are some issues to consider: 1. Contractors, repair folks need to review the work to be done. If they know that they are bidding against ten others, they are very unlikely to get involved. A contractor/service individual wants to spend his time bidding when the odds are one of two or three. 2 How do you regulate the individuals bidding on jobs? How do you prequalify them, reference checks, etc.? This is a very time consuming process. 3. You need to limit your liability in the event that one of the contractors fails miserably. /
