Could you elaborate on the marketplace backing Instapainting? You've mentioned sellers and painters - if I understood correctly, does that mean Instapainting immediately delegates to 3rd party sellers once a sale is done through the website, and it's the sellers who handle hiring the painters, shipping and (some of) customer service? If so, that's amazing and quite surprising. It really is a marketplace/bidding portal wholly abstracted for the end user.

Congrats on the website and success, very inspiring story!

Yes. It is fundamentally a marketplace abstracted for the end user.

It evolved into this way over time, and I didn't set out planning to build it this way.
