Anyone notice Fiverr's latest feature?

A couple of days ago while I was browsing through my orders I noticed something odd on the "Perks" section on the far right of the screen.

 

Right beneath the Buyers request feature, was a new one called "Sellers proposals" and there was a "NEW" tag right next to it!

 

Clicking the link got me an error message, and by the time I went back to my sales page to take a screenshot, the link was gone, just like that!

 

Anyone else caught a glimpse of it?

 

Sounds exciting! I wonder how it's implemented... :)

@madmoo Yeah I noticed that late at night they tend to switch demo features on for like an hour, testing things I guess. Such a shame I didn’t have enought time to see how it looks like!

[anarchofighter]

Moo are you thinking of the “online now” one?

[thenewsbyyou]

Wouldn’t seller proposals just get flooded though? What’s the point of seller proposals when you already have the listings?

Reply to @thenewsbyyou: It’s probably not the exact same thing as the listings, which makes me really curious… I can’t think of any good ideas of what that feature could be.

Maybe so that sellers can offer package deals where relevant. Not sure how it would avoid being flooded with people offering 40 million facebook likes etc. . . Or how it would work with untried level 0 folks

Is this something new? Never noticed it.

Well this feature has a purpose since now a seller is not allowed to conact a buyer, unless the buyer initiates contact first.



Or maybe this serves another purpose. Like for instance if a buyer messages a seller and asks for something custom, and the seller now only messages specs and price, maybe now there’s a formal way to propose terms and price for custom projects.



Who knows?



@atechkid yes this feature is new, it rolled out when the iOS app came out. 🙂

well there could be limits according to a seller's level, much like there is now for sending offers to a buyers request.

 

So a seller must be careful as to where he sends a proposal. :)

Reply to @anarchofighter: That was a great feature. I hope it stays.

Observing a whole lot of innovations going on Fiverr. Loving the interactive nature of the features =D>

There is a "“perks” button on the Sales Page, but mine is not active. I was wondering what that one does or is supposed to do. Anyone know?

[animusargentis]

I noticed it several times a few days ago, around 3 AM MST USA. The site does strange things in the wee hours of the morning. Probably when they are testing things.

[frank_d]

aaaaan it’s live!

[Guest natashaemoore]

I saw it to but didn’t know what it was for either. Sounds interesting.

[katylady77]
