  1. Low Value Questions

    Please stop lowering values on members questions from the low value of 14.74 to the even lower value of 9.00 per question. Appraisers have to do a lot of research in order to obtain all the information customers want on their items. Sometimes many items per question. It is not fair to the appraiser to expect them to work for 14.74 per question much less 9.00 per question. Just be up front and tell the customer they are signed up for a limited amount of questions per month, and once they use them up they have to wait until the…

  2. Give 100 % of bonuses to the expert who earned them.

    I have noticed that, when I receive a bonus, the amount is not what would be considered a typical amount one would offer. It makes me believe that JustAnswer is keeping a percentage of any bonuses given to the expert who performed "above and beyond" and, therefore, received the equivalent of a tip. Is JustAnswer keeping a percentage of the bonuses given to experts? If so, why? The bonus was paid by the customer expecting that the expert would receive it. Not the company.
    JustAnswer benefits from the experts that perform in exemplary fashion by the fact that it is…

  3. Country Selection in UK for legal questions

    Hi,
    I think that there should be a slight change to the "country" selection for customers. As you may know, the law is different in Scotland, Northern Ireland and England/Wales

    Customers do sometimes identify that they are in England and Wales but a lot of the time they just state UK, not knowing that the law is different in each region. Experts then have to firstly identify what region they are from causing a slowdown in the efficiency of answering questions.

    Could this be looked at and changed to give only selections such as
    UK-Scotland
    UK-England & Wales
    UK-Northern Ireland…

  4. Customer Opt out

    This new Customer Opt out function is not a bad idea, I just think it needs to be tweaked. Many times customers are opting out and not giving us the experts time to reply. Many times we are looking up information, checking for bulletins or recall information or could be in the middle of typing and the customer opts out. Customers have been opting out with in 1 min to 5 mins. This does not give us the time to respond. Not all Automotive experts are fast typers and it does take time for us to look up information. Allowing…

  5. Option to turn Time-based chat on or off

    Add an option in profile that would turn timer in chat on or off.

    That would be similar to signature being turned on or off that exists now (or several other options that are already there).

  6. Display a notification to the customer when rating an answer/Expert in a question page that contains answers from multiple Experts

    I have noticed that some customers, especially new ones, tend to rate the first answer/Expert in the conversation, regardless or other answers/Experts.

    For example, an Expert provides several answers and then opts-out. Another Expert continues to work with the customer and helps them. The customer then uses the first rating box available to rate the service they received at JustAnswer and then leaves. The Expert who opted-out receives a full credit!

    That happens because the customers think they are rating the overall experience they have received at JustAnswer, without knowing that the ratings are specific to Experts; therefore, I suggest…

  7. Inline Images

    Allow Experts to post images inline with text rather than just adding them as downloadable attachments.

    In fact, greater ability to make the answer content more rich would be fantastic. On the old system, we had a great deal of flexibility to format the content of an answer. On the new system, we have only a basic version of rich text available.

    Being able to post more engaging content will grab and hold customers attention better. The ability for the Expert to simply paste an image into the content, rather than saving an image, then browsing to it on the…

  8. REMOVE the automatic LOCK on chat or Q &A after 24 hours, when expert used Additional Services offer to which customer has not responded.

    Now experts can lock a question for DAYS by just clicking Additional Services. If customer doesn't like the initial answer or doesn't READ it and just goes away, or if the expert discretely advises (in actions or words) that no response to Additional Services offer is needed, then no other expert gets a chance to motivate more participation by customer until the expert has had a week to convince him/her that expert's answer is the only one available, so customer accepts or goes away mad or bored.

  9. Automate the spin of the wheel for chips

    Where an expert has obtained 100 or more spins due to have a large number of chips they can spend a great deal of time 'spinning the wheel' as you have to wait 5 seconds before you can spin again if you have lost, and if clicking too soon you can some times lose a spin.
    Provide an option to 'auto spin' so the wheel keeps spinning until you win (or run out of chips), that way you can answer questions and check back to see if you won.
    To date I have probably lost over an hour of my…

  10. Online Chat session ability for every session!!

    I have found that the availabity of this feature really gets to the heart of the questions and promotes better answers and subsequently more money for everybody. I have a 100% accept return on those sessions and a 33% return on Q & A sessions. Thats alot of potential for immediate income generation that can be implemented easily and feel it would better the site overall and make for a happier more committed expert community and better client satisfaction period...

    Thanks,

  11. Change Expert Payment Policies

    I definitely think a change in policy is in order. If justanswer.com values its experts, then a change will be made.

    Customers should be able to rate us for their own purposes. It will enable them to pick the best experts. But our pay should never be contingent on whether or not we are rated. We did the work; we should be paid.

    A customer may not rate us because they went on vacation, became ill, just didn't feel like it, or worse yet, passed away. We still did the work and should be compensated. If they pay, the money…

  12. Implement "Rating Recourse Reversal" system (reverse unfair negative ratings etc)

    Even has a catchy acronym RRR

    Your Rating system is broken because there is NO means for Experts to dispute and reverse UNWARRANTED and unfair Negative marks

    A new system needs to be put in place...and the freedom extended to Mods to determine, on their own, if an unjust Negative mark was applied via the customer...and quickly remedy the status and reputation of said Expert

  13. Include Customer Name on Phone Requests

    Currently, when an Expert accepts a phone request, the customer's phone number displays.

    Enhancement: Also show the customer's name to facilitate contacting the customer. If this would raise a privacy concern, you could prompt the customer with "How do you like to be addressed?". They can put anything - and it would still be helpful to start the call with "Hello Bubba" or whatever rather than just saying "Hello, this is Mantastic Mike from JustAnswer" and waiting for them to know what that means.

  14. Rx Not Provided

    Is it possible to screen these people out that are looking for an online prescription. I seem to be getting those questions quite often. May be a little disclaimer before the customer starts that says JustAnswer does NOT provide prescriptions.....Just a suggestion to avoid negative ratings and customer asking for refunds.

  15. Medical experts should not be allowed to answer homeopathic questions

    Site JA dose not allow homeopaths to answer medical
    questions then why site is allowing medical experts to answer homeopathic
    question?
    This is only my concern if homeopath is not allowed to
    answer medical questions then why medical experts are allowed to answer
    homeopathic questions?
    As every homeopath knows much about medical science, but
    medical experts don know a single word about homeopathy it is entirely different
    system of treatment.
    This is all about site quality and promises we offer to
    customers, if customer asks for homeopathic question and receive wrong medical answer
    then tell me what kind of impression…

  16. Clients requesting a refund.

    Recently I had a client accept an answer and within minutes get a refund. This client now appears as having 2/2 accept when in fact they should have 1/2. Or, maybe 0/2. How about coming out with a system that tracks clients that continue to request a refund after having accepted the question?

  17. Categories need to be cleaned up!

    Please remove RV and Motorcycle from the Car category. An RV is an RV, not a car. A motorcycle is a motorcycle, NOT A CAR. This is the experts' page. If an expert wants to see RV and motorcycle questions, add a checkbox for RV and motorcycle and allow ALL car experts access to the box. Then they can decide if they want to see them on their question page. You are going under the assumption that since we are mechanics we can fix RV's and motorcycles! That's stereotyping! For that matter, I know a lot about plumbing and building…

  18. Ask customer for the make, the model and the serial number of the engine.

    This saves the expert and the customer allot of time.
    The correct expert that knows that engine can reply.
    As it is now we have to ask for the make, the model and the serial number. Then we fiund out we don't work on that particular engine. The expert has to opt out. Then another expert might pick it up. Then customer never comes back.
    Also I don't reply to allot of questions that don't have this info.

  19. Deactivate inactive expert accounts.

    Categories sometimes get saturated making it too competitive and difficult to work. Sometimes inactive experts come back making it even more difficult. I propose that if an expert has been inactive for a certain amount of time, 6 months or so, their account should be deactivated and they have to apply to the category again.
