Abstract
A peer-to-peer services marketplace is described. A search query is received from a service buyer. The query is parsed to identify parameters including a category of service wanted and a desired location. An available services database that includes service seller profiles is searched based on the parameters. The system communicates information to the buyer regarding service sellers that match the parameters, including the description of the service, contact information, the location of the service seller, and the location where the service is offered. A selection of one of the service seller sis received from the buyer, and availability information to the buyer is provided. The buyer requests an available time of the seller and that time is reserved to create a service appointment. The seller is notified of the appointment.
