Online Retailer Offering Customers Help Around The House

SEATTLE, WA (CBS) – Need to find someone fast to fix that broken dishwasher or wall-mount your new flatscreen?

Amazon has launched a new Home Services marketplace online where users can find a listing of "handpicked pros offering upfront pricing on pre-packaged services."

In other words, the Amazon Home Services section will offer much the same thing as the regular site does, only it will be selling services rather than goods.

Amazon says the new marketplace will be backed by the Happiness Guarantee, which guarantees that if you're not satisfied with the services, Amazon will make sure the job is done right or offer a refund.

Services range from painting and plumbing to oddball offerings like goat grazing and aerial yoga and are offered across most of the country.
