*** service and not receiving payment for work

  • - I completed multiple tasks but haven't been paid.

Multiple times I've completed tasks and have not received payments for them for multiple different reasons. When I attempt to contact Airtasker, I'm told to leave messages through their chat and somebody will respond between 24 to 48 hours, but I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever get a damn response, and I'm sick of this ***

I did my job but the taker is not releasing the payment

AI Highlights
  • - Could not clean oven and shower; tasker said fine.
  • - He inspected later and refused payment.
  • - I did as asked, but he lied about the room count.

I did my job. I told the tasker I couldn't do the oven and shower; it was too hard for me to clean.

He said that's fine. He went to inspect it the next morning and didn't say anything until I texted around 1 PM. He replied saying he was not releasing the payment because it was not up to what he wanted, but I did everything as said in the task. He even lied about how many rooms there actually were.

I wasted all my cleaning products. I tried asking if I could come back; he said no, I'm not good enough, and now he won't work out halving the payment or give me the same amount of the payment.

Embezzlement in the Los Angeles office

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - LA office embezzles funds from the parent.
  • - Funds for advertising are pocketed via fake tasks by two individuals and split with city manager.

The Los Angeles office is embezzling tens of thousands, if not hundreds, of dollars from the parent company, and there is no way to inform corporate. The money was designated for advertising and is being pocketed by two individuals using fake tasks that are never accessible to taskers and never actually completed. The money is divided and split between the city manager and his puppet.

User's recommendation: Avoid this site at all costs.

Restricted account for wrong reason

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Account is restricted, hindering discussions and price quotes.
  • - Pricing can’t be quoted until hours are known and the customer is consulted.

Why has my account been restricted? In my comments to this customer, I even mentioned the community guidelines about how certain things cannot be spoken about as they are restricted.

My offer mentioned an increase in pricing once the full hours were known, which couldn't be determined until I had spoken with the customer. You treat everyone like a criminal on this platform without allowing them to fully do the job to your standards. It is far too restricted to be able to get all the information from the customer to quote an exact price. That's why you have the option of increasing the task price, is it not?

Please unrestrict my account so that I may complete these discussions and raise or lower my prices accordingly. I do not want to move my tasks off the Airtasker platform, as that then takes away any protection I have should things go awry.

Thanks and appreciation for your assistance. Let's all work together to make this a fair and honest service that profits and benefits all.

Pros:
  • New clients
Cons:
  • Unfair discrimination
  • Prejudice
  • Inadequate staffing

Preferred solution: Account unrestricted

User's recommendation: Don't ever use!!

No refund yet

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I cancelled the task 10 days ago and haven't gotten a refund.
  • - No phone number; I lowered price as asked and was told the fix would cost over 3000.

I cancelled my task 10 days ago and have not received my refund. It is very annoying that there is no phone number and you have to go through a process for someone to act on this.

My assigned task asked me to lower the price, which I did. He then came back and said it would cost me over 3000 to fix.

$398

Preferred solution: Full refund

Waiting on removalists

Updated by user Nov 15, 2025

The boys l got as removalists broke the whole roller door from the spa not fitting under so l am being asked to replace it at the sellers! Huge cost NOT MY FAULT!

Do the people in your business have insurance because this is unfair! Never again if l dont get this cost covered by them@ l will go social media nuts.

So disappointing. I lost my barge booking to come back to island- had to sleep in my car and now only just home in second storm as one last night got me from the delay from damaging the roller doorPlease advise asap

Original review Nov 13, 2025

Your contact number is disconnected! Trying to find my removalists who are late! I am new to Airtasker...not sure if I will return.

Remove the restrictions on my account

AI Highlights
  • - Platinum member reports a mistaken comment and an Instagram name for Airtasker questions; asks removal of restrictions due to status.

Hey. I'm a platinum member.

Yesterday, I mistakenly put a comment for a customer. It happened mistakenly because at that time I was texting another customer on Facebook. I mistakenly put an Instagram name for Airtasker questions.

Please remove my restrictions because I'm a platinum member with a good completion rate. Thanks.

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Be safe while you are texting with customers
