eBay UK launches Secretguru beta site, helps you find experts to get stuff done

Image

Granted, the name sounds a bit questionable, but Secretguru wants to help you make your life a little better. Still in an early beta pilot testing stage, the site was launched by a wing of Ebay’s UK staff in attempts to set professionals up with clients, from chefs to painters to vocal coaches to tour guides. The site has hand-picked a list of “gurus” that you can peruse and hire, and those interested in being named a guru can submit an application for consideration. As far as feedback on hired gurus is concerned, that still seems to be a matter of sending complaints directly to eBay itself. No word yet on plans to launch the site in other countries.
