Buyer Requests (Again?)

[ahmad_2802]

I thought Fiverr had given up on Buyer requests and moved to Buyer Matching feature but what I am seeing are more than 100 buyer requests and strangely some of them are from different categories and niches. 

I personally favor the Buyer request feature as it helped me in securing a wonderful client who is really happy with my work whereas I detest buyer matching features as they are spams, most of the time.

Honestly, they might be just cleaning BR up for good, getting ready to take it off the site completely. 

I find that after a while, briefs have gotten way better / more relevant to what I offer. It just takes time. BR was... Chaotic and while briefs will take a while to really work out I think they'll end up a lot less messy due to all the extra features like marking things as spam, etc. 

I understand the frustration but I think it's a good initiative. I don't think BR was supposed to be a major factor to how sellers get orders. At least for me it always seemed like a faulty extra.

I haven't gotten any briefs thus far. So, whenever that feature starts to work, or function, or what-have-you... I look forward to seeing what it does. As for Buyer Requests, it seems like it's on the last leg of being deep-sixed for good. Perhaps in the midst of its last gasp, some of the requests have gotten more satisfactory.
