Once again I received a job notification via Snapdocs that was paying $100. It was short notice and not nearby, so countered that I would do it for $150. I then received another notice for the same job and they were offering $175. I responded that I was available. After watching it for a while, I tried responding again and it said that the order had been filled. This has happened multiple times - I counter with an offer and they ultimately assign it at a higher offer to someone else. My rating on Snapdocs is “High” and I’ve had not complaints from any jobs. Do they not bother to look at responses???

Someone countered $175 before you countered. AI runs how orders are assigned and it’s not a very smart AI program to tell you the truth.

They worried me to death last week with this same scenario! Makes no sense! I said yes to the original offer, they countered with additional $20. Of course I said yes. They again countered with additional $20. I said yes again! *Note…Since using their platform I see more and more scams. Posting another received today.
Someone at Scapdocs doesn’t like you. If so, they would of took you $150 offer or countered it.
How do you know you haven’t had any complaints? Snapdocs does not show notaries any complaints they may have.
Snapdocs doesn’t rank a notary “high” if you’ve had complaints. But their AI scheduling is first come first serve which means where you rank may not even be a factor for them.
That’s not entirely true. You can still be ranked “high” with complaints. Now if you have many or repeated mistakes, that may affect your ranking. But a few will not effect you if all the other criteria they use is correct and up to date.
I don’t think you understand how snapdocs Workes. Companies pay to be on snapdocs so why would scammers pay to use the platform to scam someone?
I don’t think you understand how much profit can be made off scam’s. I do hope that as a notary you are not leaving it to a platform to protect you from fraud. It is up to you to perform due diligence in ALL transactions!
If that’s the case, why aren’t they accepting the first “yes, I’m available” and not countering with additional funds on 2nd and 3rd request? Maybe the AI platform is not as efficient as they would like to believe.
My general experience with these platforms is that if you respond as “available” before anyone else does, you get the job immediately. If you counter, then they wait to see if anyone takes it at the offered fee. This varies, depending on the company. If they want to negotiate your counteroffer, what I’ve found that happens is that they blast it out there at a fee somewhere between their initial offer and your counteroffer. In other words, they’re making it available to everyone at that fee, not just you.
There are a lot of generalizations there. If they put an order out above the initial fee but below your counter offer - someone countered at that lower fee. If you accept that lower fee before the other person you can get that order. Same for when it’s reposted at a higher fee. But it’s not blasted out - you renew your link and see at a different fee that you may not have received because it wasn’t blasted. It was sent to the person who countered. They don’t auto schedule it because time may have passed and that notary may not be available any longer.
Sometimes a counter is immediately accepted and it’s assigned to you.
I have to confess that I don’t know the exact workings of those platforms and how they choose their notaries. I only can say what it “looks like” to me. What does seem to be true is that they start out with a low offer and only raise it if they don’t get any positive responses.
How much experience do you have? That is one thing that determines who get what.
