25% of the wages? Sounds like they were just greedy as much as anything else. Of course the customers are going to be looking to cut out the middleman as soon as possible with that kind of commission.
- chiph 11y agoIf they'd reduced their cut to say 5% for repeat bookings between the same client and worker, they could have justified the high initial percentage as a matchmaking fee. But otherwise, yeah, people were just going to take their professional relationship offline and cut them out of the loop.
- rtb 11y agoExactly. Or maybe no commission at all on repeat bookings? Then there's no pressure for the relationship to jump the walled garden and you keep the customer on the site to come to you first for future searches.
