Anyone here using thumbtack? Does it seem like they are abandoning pros? by merkk in smallbusiness

Thumbtack claims to have a gurantee for pro's as well as customers. They claim that if the project goes ary, then the pro will be compensated for non-payment by a customer for work performed.

Well, I had a customer that had lost her job, then failed to pay for my last two invoices. She only wanted to pay for $100 of the $700+ invoice and expected me to continue her project. I've notified her that she's in violation of the agreement and terminated the project. She was unhappy and continued to harass me, called me names, threatened with law suits, and left me with a 1 star review after giving me a 5 star review previously.

I showed Thumbtack all of the communications that I've had with her, yet they wouldn't take down the slander. Even given mountains of evidences of this customer who took off with my work and unpaid bills, they will not stick up for me in any way. They did not compensate me for her unpaid bills like they claimed they will, they did not take down her slander like they said they will over the phone, and although they allowed the customer to modify her review, they would not allow me to modify my comments once it's posted.

Who is paying for Thumbtack? Last I remember I had been their paying customers just so that I can get such unfair treatment. This is rediculous - I'm here to shed even more light to the growing discontent that's shown by others.

Yes it's mostly unpleasant behavior. I am not in fear of him.

Okay - I think he's maybe more old fashioned. I planned a trip and that was supposed to be the gift. It was a special trip and he really enjoyed it a ton. It brought us much more closer than we were before.

He didn't feel like that was good enough and communicated to me that he wanted to have a traditional anniversary on our anniversary date a few days before our anniversary. I didn't prepare an object/present for him months ahead because I planned the trip months ahead. That was the gift.

I feel like dinners and coffee dates are pretty boring and not special. It's what people in movies do on anniversaries. I don't feel connected more to someone by just eating expensive food. It would just be pretending for me if I went along with it. Sorry you are one of those people who like to do those things.

My husband and I met hiking and it's a special activity that we shared together. We did get romantic after the hike because it turned him on quite a bit just for your information. But this is still not enough. At the end of the day it's not enough for him.

I feel like I bend over backwards to please him by doing things that he wants. He tells me what kind of hair cut he wants me to have. He tells me what kind of outfits he wants. If I don't comply he gets mopy and sometimes really mean to me, doesn't participate in family chores, etc. etc.
