razanoor Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I daily see some sellers that post their request in Buyer Request options. But I want to know what they get by posting request as a Buyer however they are sellers and If someone submit a bid on their request so it doesn’t mean that they get an order. So why they waist their time? and if this thing is useful then what is use of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeus777 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 it’s called “being desperate and trying to get any kind of exposure.”In most cases they don’t work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redxdesigner Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Same question I was about to post here too. I can see only sellers in this section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaledbouhedadj Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I was going to post about this, each time I see like more of 50% of the requests are buyers saying something like : I have good drawing skills, I can make great design, I know this or this software…etc it’s outragingThey need to get banned !!

nayruchan00 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Yeah, it’s getting pretty annoying. Like - if you’re a seller, respond to existing requests, don’t make up your own. That’s what gigs are for, goddammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allysonmichelle1 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 The only reason I can think of besides extra exposure or perhaps confusion is that they might want to see how others respond to buyer requests and potentially copy sales pitches when you respond. I notice even though they are trying to sell something and not actually buy, they still get bids from people… I usually just click the “Remove Request” button when I see this.

ahmed_imtiaz Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 As a new seller and after making some different category gig I get only few buyer requests(15–20) in my buyer request option. And most of them are Seller who Post " I will give you that service. I have some skills." That’s why I get only 5 or 6 buyer request. Most of them not in my category.So pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majagjorgievska Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 The same happens to me every time I open buyer’s requests. But a few minutes ago I stumbled upon a request from someone who has 200 addresses from different places and wants someone to provide the owner’s names and telephone numbers. I mean, is this even legal? It’s private information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arif029 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Some sellers intentionally post their services into Buyer Request section to get job. They are very crazy about job but I think this is harmful for them, by this way they did not get any result. Its just like scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover, yet according to @malikumer13503 he tried to post a seller offer under Buyer Requests, and he got denied. I wonder what the criteria are for making a buyer request?

myusernamearts Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 A potential reason could be that people might see how other sellers are selling their services through it, which could make them believe it’s okay to post such things?Never done it myself, but that was my original impression when I saw that type of thing in the buyers requests section.

razanoor Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 its really annoying and fiverr need to do something about it but of course they wont…Exactly, so if there is any option that we can draw attention of any Fiverr staff member? So that they can update a button of report BR? As we have now more than 15 seller’s here on this post who are getting annoyed of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
