Refund Policy

Last updated 16 July 2026

Customers

Customers pay nothing to TRADIEMATCH. You only pay the tradie, at the price they quote you. There is nothing for us to refund.

Tradies — automatic refunds

We refund the lead fee automatically in these cases:

  • Wrong number / disconnected: the customer's phone is not reachable at all within 24 hours.
  • Duplicate job: the same customer posted the same job twice within 48 hours and you bought both slots.
  • Out-of-scope: the actual job is a different trade (e.g. posted as plumbing but is actually electrical).
  • Job cancelled before contact: the customer cancelled the job before you had any chance to make contact.

Tradies — reviewed refunds

You can raise a refund request within 7 days for:

  • Customer is uncontactable after 3 documented attempts across 48 hours.
  • Job description was materially misleading (e.g. "small leak" turns out to be a full repipe with no intent to book).
  • Customer is verbally abusive or unsafe.

Requests are reviewed by a human, typically within 3 business days. Approved refunds are returned to your original payment method.

What is not refundable

  • You quoted and the customer chose a different tradie. (This is normal competition — 2 and 3-quote tiers are designed for it.)
  • You were slow to make contact and the customer went elsewhere.
  • Your quote was above the customer's budget.

Chargebacks

Please contact us before opening a chargeback with your bank. Filing a chargeback for a refund we would have granted anyway may result in your account being suspended.
