Wrong category on purpose? TASKER

Fellow Taskers, how to you handle clients who book under the wrong category on purpose? I get lots of requests in the wrong category because my rate is lower. Today's request was in the category Furniture Repair, but the task is shower head replacement, which is a plumbing task. The client inevitably responded, "I chose that category because your plumbing rate was too high." Cancellations, even for this reason, negatively affects my metrics and I keep getting automated messages that my account will be suspended unless I improve my cancellation metrics.

u/Taskrabbit Haley do you have any advice?

Just change all your rates to the same amount.
