maheennadeem814 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Hi, I would like to have an idea of how you all are doing after the buyer request feature is no more applicable, what do you think about it? 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibronx Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) As a buyer, I'm incredibly happy. It was simply horrible, and it made me weep for humanity every time I posted a request. As a seller, I never used it, so I don't really care. The offered prices were too low for me to bother, or there were other red flags in the requests. And I have always gotten orders organically. I don't use briefs either, BTW, and I doubt I ever will. Edited December 9, 2022 by vibronx 15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on this one! It became so inconvenient and full of red flags as well. Good to hear your thoughts 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surajrenuka Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) I rarely used buyers request so no changes for me in removing that feature But some how Buyer's brief looks helpful to me because I recently replied to 10-15 brief with just a link to my gig and I was awarded almost 30 % of order.. I keep receiving brief for some of my new gigs too and they helped me getting orders for those gig as well. So I am personally very happy with this new feature.

catwriter Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I didn't use buyer requests, so it doesn't bother me that the feature is gone. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilleypond3 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I am most disappointed in the new system of algorithm matching compared with the old system of buyer requests, and have had only one match since it was introduced. With old system I averaged 2/3 jobs per month. I am a level 2 5 star seller. Any comments or help on how I can improve my output please. Thanks Lilleypond3 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junaed_a Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I think it's not good for new seller. What do you think? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownzay Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 It's not favorable for we the new seller's because the brief matching works for the old seller's mostly the level 2 and 1. New seller's are not considered. It makes Fiverr to become boring. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Lilleypond3 Hi Lilley, I can feel you but as you know everything has its pros and cons so here we are! But I can agree with you that in some way buyer requests were kind of helpful as well. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shalock Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Well, I know that everyone seems to have horrible experiences with buyer requests, but for me, at least in the beginning and before it was super polluted with self promotion worked great. I found excellent buyers that work with me even to this day, however, I always ignore the cheap offers that demanded the world, just applied to the projects I really wanted to work in, and had a conversion rate of about 10% and I have to say that never had s bad experience coming from there. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

methela_dev Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I am happy to see old sellers progressing but as a new seller, it is very painful for me. 😞 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilleypond3 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I am not doing very well at all since the buyer requests section disappeared. It seems such a loss that my voice seems now to be unheard on Fiverr. Amny advise for how I can improve the situation. I am after all a five star level 2 seller.

maheennadeem814 Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 After signing up for Fiverr, in January 2021, I received my first order within a month. I then battled during that period, and it wasn't until December 2021 that I received my second order. It was like riding on a roller coaster. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
