Description

These services are, unquestionably, parasitical. They're another example get-in-the-middle-of-someone-else's-transaction-and-jack-the-costs-up operation. (See also: Estate Agents, Recruitment Consultancies, Uber.) They might provide a limited service to a consumer, but ultimately, they raise the prices for all involved so they can get a slice. Nice to see someone getting on over on them, even if only in a small way.
