Can Sellers Search for Gigs to offer their services?

[fishreal]

When I was a buyer, I would post a REQUEST such as "ART IN THIS STYLE FOR THIS PRICE RANGE" kind of thing and I would get contacted by Sellers offering their services. 

As A Seller offering Voice Over and Transcription services... There is no way for me to search or see that. How did the others do that? Is there a way for sellers to seek out people who are looking for said service and offering up a price? or am I at the mercy of hoping the Buyer clicks my profile??

Thank you!

Hi @fishreal - Fiverr discontinued Buyer Requests last year, so this option is no longer available.

No- there isn't a way for sellers to look for buyers.

Fiverr replaced Buyer Requests with Briefs, which, for buyers, is similar to the Buyer Requests. Buyers fill out their project details for sellers to make offers to. However, Fiverr now does the matching, so only the sellers matched to the buyer's briefs will have an opportunity to make an offer on that project. The buyer can then decide which seller (if any) they would like to go with. Many times, they just cancel their brief.

With Buyer Requests, buyers would get 50 or more offers on their projects. Currently with briefs, buyers are only matched with a few sellers at a time.
