I used Bidvine for the first time 4 years ago. As someone starting out then it was a good place to start to find new jobs. At the time, they had a system of buying bids and using them based on the length someones request and the prices were reasonable. Then 2 years later they changed the system to paying actual money to win jobs and they bumped the prices up, now it made no sense. I could be charged £15 just to approach a customer and they could just ignore me, i’d soon run into a lot of debt. I noticed the drop in the number of people bidding on jobs too, they probably felt the same as me. Now they’ve changed it again and i think it’s the best system of all. No longer paying to send a bid and only paying if the client makes contact. If they make contact to say no thanks (it happens) then you don’t pay. The system is going to be great for returners but also those starting out. At least if a client responds, they’ve acknowledged you and they think you could be a potential, not just ignoring your request after reading it and Bidvine eating up your £15’s. Looking forward to this new way which will help drive more customers to bidvine!
