Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about how pricing works.
Do homeowners pay anything to post a job?
No — posting a job is completely free. You only pay the agreed job price through escrow when the work is done. There are no posting fees, no sign-up fees, and no credit card required to get started.
When exactly does QuickTrade take commission?
QuickTrade's commission is only deducted when the employer releases payment from escrow after the job is completed. You never pay anything upfront — the commission comes from earnings you've already received.
What is the QuickTrade Guarantee?
The QuickTrade Guarantee means that if a job goes wrong and the worker was at fault, QuickTrade will step in to mediate and, where appropriate, facilitate a resolution. It only applies to jobs posted and paid through the platform.
Can I post multiple jobs?
Yes — posting jobs is always free for homeowners. Post as many as you need. Workers can quote on any job that suits their skills.
How does the worker commission tier system work?
Workers start at 18% commission and earn their way down to just 10% as they complete more jobs. This rewards loyal, active workers and gives everyone a clear path to better take-home pay.
How does the 30-day hire guarantee work?
If your hired worker leaves or doesn't work out within the first 30 days, we'll re-list your job for free. It's our way of making sure you actually get the right person, not just any person.
Can I earn credits through achievements?
Yes! Workers earn credits by completing jobs, achieving milestones, and maintaining streaks. Credits can only be spent on QuickTrade platform features like profile boosts and add-ons — they can't be withdrawn as cash.
What's included in the Pro Worker subscription?
Pro Worker ($49 NZD/month) gives you a flat 8% commission rate on every job — down from the standard 18% starting rate. If you're doing 3+ jobs a month, Pro easily pays for itself. Elite Worker ($89/month) drops your rate to 6%.
