aonecreativedie Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 This really sounds like what many sellers wish for and I don't think this can easily be reverse by Fiverr. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyanti_roy Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Hello Fiverr Forum Community, I hope you all know the new disease in fiverr call briefs! Seriously the worst update fiverr did. Yes in old buyer request people do too much scamming but this briefs thing doesn't work for new sellers. In my observation throughout the internet only the top rated sellers are getting briefs but that's not fair! No newcomers will come to fiverr then. Here is my warm request to fiverr please bring back the old buyer request and you guys are highlighting a thing the NEW ALGORITHM bring that to the old buyer request train your system to auto detect if the buyer request is fake or real. I don't think its necessary to make this brief functionality. And other people please also say your thoughts here. We need to stand and report together before its too late :) Please don't take my words in heart! I really love working in fiverr and got some awesome clients who are now my friends! But this BRIEF thing changed all.... 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evp_productions Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 A couple of days ago I received four rbefs, I was really shocked. I just realized the four briefs were made by the same person and were actually the same brief repeatedly. Finally this user cancelled the four briefs and also deleted his account... how can that be better that Buyer Requests? 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visualdelight Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I have been working hard on Fiverr for several years, and it has been one of my main sources of income. It's heartbreaking that since the removal of Buyers Requests, I have not been getting work for the past two months. Please Fiverr, bring back buyers requests. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sojibweather Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Buyer request is a great opportunity for our new seller to get work. So bring back the buyer request. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raisul_mina Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I think Fiverr's current update is very good for sellers. Because sellers are safer from fake buyers. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computershowto Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Absolutely horrible, disgusting idea. Here's the moment when Fiverr will go down the drain, just like all other platforms that implemented too much AI. PEOPLE working for other PEOPLE should have the CHOICE MADE BY SAID PEOPLE, NOT by some AI. Since they (Fiverr) started testing this feature by not allowing us at first, to select WHICH GIG we wanted to respond with, to a buyer's request, I have submitted many feedbacks about the fact that IT'S A BAD IDEA TO AUTOMATE to this level. I had potential jobs/gigs lost, because TO A TRANSLATION JOB the only gig that was selectable was BUILD A WORDPRESS WEBSITE, or vice-versa, for cases in which the customer was asking for A FULL-FLEDGED E-COMMERCE WEBSITE, the only thing I could answer with was FIX ERRORS ON WEBSITE. This is just stupid, counterintuitive, and meaningless. So yeah, the fact that this all-AI approach is taking over this platform too, even though it hurts most of sellers, is a clear sign of the fact that the leadership of the company never cared, and doesn't care for us sellers, and making a profit is not even the intention any more. Well, Fiverr, it was nice in the beginning, but since you've started this more and more political correctness bullshit, AI this, automate that, DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THIS, against that... you ARE GOING DOWN THE DRAIN. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunysuny998 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 We all know from this month fiverr deduct the option of buyer request. Many new seller is now in turmoil what to do? They thought it would be easier to establish as a freelancer in this platform will be really helpful. Now when this option is gone many are waiting for job request from buyer like for eternity and even getting fake buyer requests. So what is your thought about it. Was it really helpful? Or do you want fiverr to enable the feature again? 10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breals Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 You joined in September and you have had no orders on Fiverr. How could you possibly say that you're in turmoil due to the lack of buyer requests if you didn't benefit from them? It seems that there is a blame culture on here where some freelancers accuse Fiverr of being the issue as to why they haven't made millions in their first few months on the platform! YOU have to work hard to build up a reputation on Fiverr, and YOU are one of 35000 virtual assistants all competing for a piece of a very small pie. It will come, but only to the people who are prepared to work hard and make the effort! 10 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiraamalik Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Team Fiver, please grant me an option to have buyer request on my fiver account. Since i just restarted using it and its match made algorithm that's actually not working. Kindly review my profile and get me access to buyer request. Thanks 🙂 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buyer requests are no longer an option. They have been replaced with a matching service called "Briefs". 10 hours ago, hiraamalik said: Kindly review my profile and get me access to buyer request. No matter how nicely you ask, you will not get access to something that has been eliminated from the Fiverr site. Buyers can no longer send Buyer Requests—they can only send briefs. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vishdrawings Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Can any one tell me more about this new matching system? I am level 1 and my friend is level 2 here but neither of us received any kind of matches ever. I still received direct inquiries into inbox from old and new customers but never any matches. The customer support is insisting that matching system works irrespective to seller level but I am starting to believe all the buyer's requests or "briefs" as they say it go directly to top level sellers now. If that is the case, can anyone suggest a better platform to switch to? Edited December 1, 2022 by vishdrawings 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webdevexpert0 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 It's not good for new seller. Buyer request bring need back 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiespencer Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 17 minutes ago, webdevexpert0 said: Buyer request bring need back This thinking is new seller thinking, not buyer thinking. As a buyer, I was not too fond of Buyer Requests. Whenever I posted one, my inbox was spammed by desperate sellers even though they were only supposed to contact me by responding to my Buyer Request. My experience was common among buyers. So, new sellers can blame themselves and other new sellers because their desperate spamming got Buyer Requests removed from the Fiverr platform. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He falls under top ten on this site in his category but he didn't get any match ever either. He never had to use buyer's request in the first place but considering how many queries he gets in the inbox he should have got matched at least once. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen brand new sellers mention that they got a brief or few.

How many sellers did your request/brief got matched with at a time and how many simultaneous bids/response/offers your received from them? 2. While posting the request/brief, did you get to choose which level seller you want to be matched with? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
