There are already services like this, and they don't keep out low quality projects. I hope you can take lessons from those and improve upon them.

I know, for this service specifically I will spin it in a different direction, more towards of a professional contracting network.

But for now I'm more curious whether the whole buying into a project is realistic. I would at least like to raise the bar a bit. A $50 buy-in would shave off 90% of spam bids, and I would do the same for buyers with an even larger buy-in cost. If there are no offers then you lose the money, which means something's wrong with your specs.
