looking4thebest Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Hi I’m new on the site I have sent over 30 messages to random people who do the same kind of work to see who would be best and they reply but now I’m getting a lot of these “may not be contacted at this time.” is it because I sent a lot of messages or those are the working hours only?Thank you.

looking4thebest Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Oh okay will it go away after a few hours or a few days? Just so many people doing the same job looking for the right person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so many people doing the same job looking for the right person.I don’t know how long it’ll take to go away I’m afraid.Rather than randomly messaging sellers, why not just have a read of their gigs, look at their portfolios and look at their reviews? That’s how the platform was designed I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looking4thebest Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Ahh I was so happy with all the work I seen from fiverr people I went off so easily! Will it unblock me if not it’s fine. 😦 I did see reviews just a lot of them don’t have all the reviews if customers don’t leave a review on it no? Like back in the day? Unless that changed.

Unless that changed.About 70% of clients leave reviews.You could explain to CS you got a bit over-excited and ask if they’ll please reinstate your messaging abilities?

fastcopywriter Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Why? Because spamming is annoying. Would you be happy if you were getting 30 messages from random strangers?“Hi, I can write a Facebook ad for you!”Does that look like fun? I can tell you it’s not how I get orders.

I was up all night like I can’t wait for the morning and bam! lol.I didn’t spam fastcopywriter just copy and paste because they all do the same work and it’s the type of work that requires too be very eye catchy. Out of the 50 I seen only 38 had the job done in the past and out of that only like 30 were good for what I’m looking for. Was asking them if they did a job for my competition because that’s the person I need to do the job you know?No facebook ad.I’m a buyer! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, some sellers don’t like getting messages, and some messages look like spam even if they are not.I try to be nice to all buyers, but a lot of times I get messages unrelated to what I sell. You’d be better off finding a good seller and placing an order. Messaging sellers is a bad idea, unless they demand me.If you don’t see “contact me before you place an order,” don’t contact them. Also, some sellers will send you a custom offer for more than their regular prices. Why take that chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I think 30 was a lot of the same message to send even if you are a buyer so the system blocked you.You can send a message to customer support telling them you are a buyer seeking a seller and see if they can help.
