Bidding for Jobs
No. 1 Can I bid more than once for the same job?
Each member may bid only once, and bid contents may not be changed after submission. Therefore, providers should carefully check their bids before submission. However, if the budget for the job has been increased, providers can update their bids.
No. 2 Can other members see my bid?
It depends on whether the buyer designates the job as public or confidential.
Every bid comprises of three parts: a summary description, thumbnail (currently myTino only allows picture thumbnails, although we are working on supporting music, video and audio formats in the future) and working files.
During the bidding process, only the buyer may view the contents of the bids. Other members will only see that bids have been submitted as well as the providers' nicknames.
When the bid deadline expires and the buyer is choosing the winning bid or, during a voting process, bid descriptions and thumbnails are made public, although working files will remain inaccessible.
After choosing the winning bid:
A. If the buyer has designated the job as public, all of the winning bid's contents including working files will be made public, while the other non-winning bids will only have their descriptions and thumbnails made public.
B. If the buyer has designated the job as confidential, myTino will confer with the buyer as to how much of the winning bid should be made public. Non-winning bids will have their work description and pictures only made public.
