Steps
Screenshots show the website with demo data. The CouthActs apps work the same way; differences are under “On the app”.
Step 1: Open the job and go to Bids.
Step 2: On the bid you want, select Accept bid.
Step 3: Read the confirmation: the amount held in escrow and what comes back to your wallet.
Step 4: Select Confirm and book.
What happens next
You now have a booking with a tracking code and a delivery PIN. The job closes to other bids, and the other providers are told. The provider is paid only after you both confirm the job is done.
Common problems and fixes
It says the provider just changed this bid.

The accept button doesn't appear.
The job may already be booked, or the bid may have been withdrawn.
