Its very new and no sign of any bids
You auction your services instead of goods
The first £3 credit will cover your first bids or listing fees.
Sounds interesting. Its early days, I wonder if it will take off
"Auctionyourservice.com aims to be a place for people providing a service to get new business. It aims to help people fill empty slots in their diary. If you are a hairdresser, personal trainer, accountant, electrician or one of many other service providers this is the place for you.
However, Auctionyourservice.com is not all about offering yourself at rock bottom prices, competing in a downward spiral. Its about perhaps offering a special deal, a one off price or even a way of getting new clients with the aim of turning them into regular full paying customers. It can also be used to maximise your income. A common problem with small business people is that they underestimate what people are willing to pay and underestimate themselves. By selling yourself to low can result in problems making a living after you've deducted all your costs and tax.
So imagine if you are a bagpipe player that attends weddings, you have one weekend left in the summer, instead of selling at your regular rate, get on auctionyourservice.com and let market demand set your price. With a wide audience your rate could end up being many times higher than what you thought people would pay.
So get listing, but don't forget to make the most of it, provide as much info as possible and an image. Good Luck!"
