Posting a task

A good task post helps the right sellers respond faster.

How do I post a task on Giggly?

Use Post a Task, add a clear title, describe what you need, choose the city and category, set a budget, and publish when the details are ready.

What makes a good task post?

Explain the scope, location, timing, budget, and anything the seller should know before offering. Clear details reduce back-and-forth later.

Should I include my budget?

Yes. A realistic budget helps sellers decide whether the task fits their time, travel, and skill level.

Can I edit my task after posting?

You can edit task details when the current task state allows it. If offers are already involved, keep changes clear so sellers know what changed.

What if I am not sure which category fits?

Choose the closest category and make the description specific. Sellers rely more on the written scope than on the category alone.

Offers and hiring

Offers help buyers compare sellers before choosing one person for the task.

How do offers work?

Eligible sellers can send an offer with their price, message, and availability. Buyers compare offers before accepting one.

Can I receive multiple offers?

Yes. A task can receive multiple offers, but the current marketplace flow moves forward with one accepted seller.

How do I choose the right seller?

Compare the seller's profile, reviews, message quality, price, timing, and whether they clearly understand the work.

What should I compare before accepting an offer?

Look at price, scope, availability, profile quality, reviews, and any details the seller adds. The cheapest offer is not always the best fit.

Can I message before deciding?

Use the platform conversation where available to clarify timing, scope, and expectations before accepting an offer.

Seller accounts and payouts

Seller setup matters because offers and payout availability depend on the current account and payment flow.

How do I become a seller on Giggly?

Create an account, build your profile, and complete the required payout setup shown in your account before sending offers.

Why do I need to connect payouts?

Giggly needs a connected payout setup so completed work can move through the platform payment flow instead of relying on private payment promises.

Can I send offers before my seller setup is complete?

In the current flow, sellers need the required payout setup before sending offers. Check your profile or payments area if you are unsure what is missing.

When do sellers get paid, and how much?

Task acceptance is not payout availability. Funds move toward release after completion in the platform flow, and availability can depend on payment state, connected payout setup, and provider timing. The seller's payout is the offer price minus Giggly's 10% platform fee.

Why are funds not available for payout yet?

Availability can wait on completion confirmation, task or payment status, payout account setup, or payment provider timing. Check the task and payments area first.

Payments and completion

Payment works best when the task, offer, communication, and completion all stay connected on Giggly.

How does payment work on Giggly?

When a buyer accepts an offer, payment starts through Giggly's in-platform flow and stays connected to the task record.

How much does Giggly charge?

Giggly charges a 10% platform fee to each side of the transaction. The buyer pays the offer price plus 10% at checkout, and the seller's payout is the offer price minus 10%.

Why does the seller also pay a fee?

The seller fee covers the platform work behind each completed job, including hosted payments, escrow, dispute handling, verification checks, and account tools that help sellers get paid safely. Both sides contribute so pricing stays predictable and the marketplace can keep running.

Do I pay the seller directly?

No. Paying through Giggly keeps the task, offer, and payment together. Private transfers create more confusion and less platform context.

What happens after I accept an offer?

The accepted seller is tied to the task, payment starts through the platform flow, and both sides use the task and conversation history to keep work clear.

When are funds released?

Funds move toward release after the task reaches the appropriate completion point in Giggly's payment flow. Exact payout availability can vary.

What if the task is incomplete or disputed?

Keep communication tied to the task, document what happened, and use the reporting or support path with the task reference and useful details.

Trust, safety, and verification

Giggly helps reduce risk, but users should still act carefully and keep important details on-platform.

What does verification mean on Giggly?

Verification means the platform check shown on the profile has been completed. It is a trust signal, not a full guarantee of future behavior or work quality.

Does verification guarantee safety or quality?

No. Verification can reduce uncertainty, but you should still review profiles, reviews, pricing, scope, and communication before moving forward.

Should I pay or get paid outside the platform?

No. Keep payments on Giggly for the clearest task record and the strongest platform context if something goes wrong.

What are common red flags?

Watch for pressure to move payment off-platform, unclear pricing, changing scope, refusal to keep details in writing, or behavior that feels suspicious.

How can I protect myself?

Keep payment on Giggly, keep important details in writing, confirm scope before work starts, review profiles and reviews, and report suspicious behavior early.

Reviews and profiles

Profiles and reviews help users make better decisions, especially when combined with clear communication.

How do reviews work?

Reviews are tied to completed task activity and help buyers and sellers build reputation over time.

Should I trust reviews alone?

No. Reviews are useful signals, but you should also consider profile quality, communication, price, task fit, and scope clarity.

What should I look for on a profile?

Look for a clear name or business identity, useful description, relevant skills, review history, and communication that matches the task.

Why does completed task history matter?

Completed task history can show that someone has worked through the platform flow before, which helps build credibility over time.

Problems and support

If something feels wrong, pause early, keep the record clear, and use the right support path.

What should I do if something goes wrong?

Pause, keep communication tied to the task, write down what happened, and use the most relevant support or reporting path.

What if the other person stops responding?

Document the timeline in the task conversation where possible. If the issue affects payment, completion, or safety, use Report a Problem.

What if the scope changes after acceptance?

Pause and clarify the new scope, price, and timing in writing before continuing. Do not rely only on a verbal change.

What if I feel unsafe or suspicious about a task or user?

Do not continue privately. Use the reporting or help path and include the task reference, timeline, screenshots, and relevant messages where possible.

How do I report a problem?

Go to Report a Problem, choose the closest issue type, and include clear details so the issue is easier to understand.
