I have used the reverse booking a couple of times, but found it flawed. I used it because I would be somewhere at a particular time. I never take the piss, and offer what I think is a reasonable rate. I generally got around 5-10 bids, but these were mostly out of catchment area, or gave no other information so I wondered whether the bid was blind, or they had read the whole request. So I usually end up booking conventionally with a phone call.
It's a shame that once the booking has expired, you can't see who has bid. I would like to be able to see this especially if the woman answered last minute and maybe made an effort to answer any specific requests - which would influence me to making a conventional booking with that person next time.
