    Leads Costing Me
    Often the Leads I receive are not responding even though I am responding quickly to them. Which means I am losing money. If this was happening occassionally fine but the last 4 leads only one responded. Any suggestions?

    Why doesn't Thumbtack make its fee structure public?
    I have been working with Thumbtack for several years and still don't have a clue how the fee structure works. I am charged anywhere from $37 to $100 to do the same job at the same distance from my home.

    Why I'm I not given a specific reason for denying my request for refund?
    It is not fair to be charged when a person that request my services never looks at my quote or does not respond to texts and will not answer the phone. This was not done in good faith and I should not be charged for it.
