About bangladeshiworkers.com

bangladeshiworkers.com is a marketplace where people in Bangladesh find each other directly, with no agency in between. There are 10 boards: Hire, Jobs, Gold, Services, Labour, Rooms & Property, Buy & Sell, Construction, Lost & Found and Advertising. They all work the same way — browsing and searching are free, publishing a listing costs tokens, and you only pay to see somebody's contact details when you have decided you want them.

Some boards have more than one side, and the tabs at the top choose which side you are looking at. Buy & Sell splits into things for sale and things wanted. Construction splits into materials and labour. Rooms & Property splits into to let, for sale and wanted. It is still one board underneath, so the side is only a filter — switching it keeps your area, your category and the words you typed.

It asks who the place is for: anyone, men, women or a family. Choose one in the filters and you see the listings written for that group, plus the ones open to anyone and the older ones from before this field existed. The match is generous on purpose — somebody looking for a women-only mess wants every real option, not only the adverts that spelled the rule out. Typing “female mess” into the search box brings back the same listings without touching the filter.

Each word is searched on its own, and words may match in different places — the title, the product name, the brand, the skills, the description, the category, a ticket's route, or the poster's name, area or city. So “12mm rod” finds a listing titled “Rod & steel” whose product name is “12mm BSRM”. One search covers every board at once, together with the worker directory, and the number beside each board tells you where the rest of the results are waiting.

No. Browsing, searching, reading the full description, opening every picture at full size, and reading anybody's ratings and public profile are free, and most of it works without an account. Pictures are deliberately outside the paywall: the 2 tokens buy a poster's contact details, not permission to see what they are offering. A board where nothing can be seen before paying is a board nobody would browse.

A new account is granted 100 tokens once, at the moment it is first created. Signing out and back in does not grant it again, and neither does signing in from another phone, browser or sign-in method — the grant is written the one time the account is created and never repeated. Raising the bonus later does not top up accounts that already exist either. Your balance is held on the server and cannot be edited from your side, so what it shows is what you really have.

10 tokens to publish, plus 2 tokens for each day you want it visible, plus 1 token for each picture you attach. A 7-day listing with 2 pictures is therefore 10 + (2 × 7) + (1 × 2). You may choose from 1 to 60 days and up to 4 pictures. The form shows the exact total before you publish, and the same total is worked out again on the server, so the quote and the charge can never disagree.

Open the Purchase page and choose a package of 50, 150 or 500 tokens, at the rate shown there (৳1 buys 10 tokens). No payment gateway is connected yet, so this is a simulated top-up: no card, no bKash number and no bank account is charged, and none is asked for. Tokens are credit inside this site only — they have no cash value and cannot be turned back into money.

The listing opens with the poster's phone number, email and social link shown, and 2 tokens leave your balance. You are charged once for that listing, not once per visit — open it again tomorrow, next week, or from a different device, and it costs nothing. Your own listings are always free to open, and so is one you have already unlocked.

Because chats are kept per person, not per listing. The 1 token is charged only when a conversation with somebody new is created. If you have talked to that person before — about anything, on any board — the new listing is simply added to your existing chat as another subject and nothing is charged. So the cost is one token for each person you ever talk to, however many listings you discuss with them.

Yes. Open your profile, press Send beside your balance, and enter their email and a whole number of tokens from 1 to 1000. They must already have an account with that email. It is a move, not a top-up: your balance falls by exactly what theirs rises by, nothing new is created, and it cannot be undone. You cannot send to yourself, and transfers keep working even when charging is switched off — the tokens you hold stay yours.

Inside a chat, open the Postings panel and confirm the listing you agreed on. Your side is marked at once and the other person is told, because the listing stays on the board until they confirm too. When both of you have, the listing is taken down — nobody else will contact you about something already settled — and the chat with every message in it stays as the record of what was agreed. Confirming is also what unlocks the rating: each of you may then leave the other one permanent rating.

Write your skills on your profile, separated by commas. Every new listing on every board is then checked against them: a skill counts as a match when it appears whole, or when all of its words appear, in the title, the product name, the brand, the category, the required skills or the description. A match rings your bell once for that listing and never twice. Your profile also shows how many live listings match each skill and on which board — press one and the board opens already filtered to it.

A new profile picture replaces the one before it: the new file is stored and the old one is deleted in the same moment, so there is only ever one picture per account. Remove it and your Google or Facebook picture shows again — that one is never touched. Your name works the same way. Once you have set it here, signing in again never overwrites it with the name your Google account carries, and it cannot be saved empty, because your name is the label on every listing, chat and rating of yours.

It is optional. Nothing on the site is locked behind it — an account without it can post, message, buy and sell like any other. What it gives you is a verified badge on your public profile, which matters when a stranger is deciding whether to meet you. You send photographs of your national ID card, a person checks them, and the answer is promised within 72 hours. The deadline is stamped when you send it and counted down on your profile, so you can always see how long is left.

Change the number in your profile editor and the request is withdrawn on the spot: the waiting row leaves the review queue and the photographs you uploaded are deleted with it. Nothing half-checked is left behind, and nobody approves a number you have stopped claiming. Any earlier verdict is cleared at the same time, so you can simply submit again with the right number. The card photographs never appear on your public profile, and staff who only have directory access never see them — the profile keeps the result, not the pictures.

A block is aimed at you, is set by an administrator, and lasts until an administrator lifts it. A pause is aimed at a place — an area, a district or a whole division, usually for local conditions or a holiday — and it lifts itself on the date it was set for. Both leave reading alone: you can still sign in, browse every board, open your chats and read whatever you already unlocked. What stops is writing — posting, unlocking, starting chats, sending messages, rating, buying and transferring. A banner at the top of the page tells you which one you are under, the reason, and when it ends.

You get 2 tokens back — the day rate your listing was published at, not today's — for every day of visibility it never used, credited immediately. The 10-token publishing fee and the 1 token per picture are not refunded: a day that never happened can be given back, a stored file cannot. Deleting a live listing pays exactly the same as cancelling it, so Delete never costs you more than Cancel. If a moderator takes a listing down, those same unused days come back and you are told the reason.

Reselling a bus, train, launch or plane ticket above its printed price is illegal in Bangladesh, so every ticket listing must state the face value printed on the ticket. The server compares the asking price with it as the listing is saved — the check is not done in the app, so it cannot be edited around. Ask for more and the listing goes up publicly marked as above face value, with the reason shown on the card and in the detail view for every buyer to read.

Always public: your name, email, bio, skills and location, because that is what makes you findable. Yours to choose: your phone number, your social links, whether the ID badge shows and when you were last active. Never public, whatever you set: your token balance, your IP address, your device details and your full ID number — even a public ID shows only its last four digits. Your phone number and email reach somebody through a listing only when they spend 2 tokens to unlock it.
