"How it works: On this marketplace, the buyers get to decide whether
to allow closed or open auction bidding. The site has a very basic
interface but makes up for that by having an excellent e-mail alert
system that feeds relevant project leads to service providers. There's
also a capability for basic formatting of bid proposals and an escrow
service to help protect your funds."
