    ACCC takes tradie website ServiceSeeking to court for misleading reviews

    "The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has initiated proceedings in the Federal Court against online tradie marketplace ServiceSeeking for engaging in misleading conduct in relation to customer reviews, which included a feature allowing companies to pick their own ratings."

    I've had mixed results using service seeking in the past... not that surprised by this.

    I've not had much joy from Hipages either. Much better to ring tradies advertising in the local paper if you haven't got any recommendations from friends.
