Registration and Sign In
Do I need to register to ask a question or to bid for questions?
Yes, registration is required to ask and answer questions. Registration is easy and it only takes a moment. You will be asked to verify your email address. It's that simple!
Is registration free?
Yes, registration is absolutely free. But we invite only genuine users and require your mailing address for security and payment purposes.
Who is a Seeker?
Any user who seeks an answer, a solution or a service is fondly called a "Seeker" in the da Gurus community. You don't have to select any settings in your registration profile to indicate that you are a Seeker.
Who is a Guru?
Any user who is an expert in a particular field and chooses to bid for a question is a Guru. You don't have to select any settings in your registration profile to indicate that you are a Guru. Most Gurus maintain detailed profiles about their expertise in specific categories. Seekers browse the Guru profile information in the relevant categories before deciding which Guru to choose as a winner to answer their questions.
Can I be a Seeker and a Guru?
Absolutely. Every user can be a Seeker and a Guru at the same time. You would assume the role of either a Seeker or a Guru for a specific question. If you are asking a question, then you assume the role of a Seeker. If you are bidding or answering a question, you assume the role of a Guru. You don't have to select any settings in your registration profile to indicate that you are a Seeker or a Guru.
Why do I need to provide my address?
da Gurus may send check payments to the address provided by the users - Gurus and Seekers.
da Gurus community operates on trust and conscience and strives to allow only genuine Seekers and Gurus. Providing your address allows us to monitor and ensure that we extend our services to only genuine users.
Seekers aim to verify that your Guru profile is genuine while selecting the winning Guru to answer the Seeker's question. Gurus review the Seeker's profile and only if they find the Seeker genuine, they decide to bid for the question. Other users can see your city and it helps lend credibility to your profile and also helps them make a sound decision.
Why do I need to provide answers to security questions during the registration process?
If you forget your password, then the "
Forgot Password" tool allows you to reset your password after you answer the security questions that you had set during the registration process. This ensures that another user or a "bot" (malicious automatic / robot software) cannot reset your password.
Why do I need to click on the confirmation email link before my account is activated?
A confirmation email is sent to your email account after you submit the initial registration details. You are required to click on the confirmation link emailed to you to activate your account. This validates your email address so that another user cannot use your email address to register.
Why does the confirmation link not work when I click on that link?
Some times the confirmation link text wraps and breaks on to multiple lines. Please copy and paste the entire link into the address bar of your browser and it will work for you.
How can I delete my account?
You can email Customer Service with a request to delete your account.
What if I forget my username?
You can send an email from your email address that you used at the time of registration to Customer Service and we will email you your username is.
What if I forget or lose my password?
You can reset your password by using our "
Forgot Password" tool. You will be required to provide an answer to the security question that you had set during the registration process.

Forgot Password" tool and a new password be emailed to you.

Why should I register with da Gurus to answer questions?
da Gurus is the eBay® of services where users can ask questions on any subject. We believe that every person is an expert or a
Guru in at least one area. We respect the Gurus in every field, be it a great gardener, a super plumber, an expert electrician or a meticulous accountant. Many Gurus share their knowledge and provide answers on the Internet for free in their spare time to help others. But they don't necessarily receive money or respect for sharing their knowledge.
da Gurus invites you to resolve problems, answer questions and share your knowledge with the
Seekers. You will not only earn the money you deserve for sharing your knowledge, but above all you will receive the respect and recognition that you deserve.
da Gurus provides a convenient platform to build your income and business on the side and you will
get paid to share your knowledge and expertise.
To sum it up, we are the e-bay of "services". Join our community, establish an early presence and build your reputation by earning valuable feedback.
