The "Uber for dogwalkers" service had a problem that people would do an arrangement with the dogwalker outside of its 30% (or whatever) rent-seeking, it even had scary clauses trying to prevent this.

So maybe the solution is to ask the electrician, etc, if you can contact them directly next time, and to ask them if they know any other tradespeople when you need one.



Done this with a similar service, worked fine. Of course YMMV and not everyone is open to it.
