timelyservices Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 i have never had a success with buyer’s request, but prefer to send offer anyone that has low offer. max 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astriddr Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I often look to the buyer requests on my phone. There is no option to leave a message there. I don’t like that. That being said, when I am looking through the buyer requests, I look for “Dutch” and “French”. I have a very limited amount of buyers because of my type of gigs so I submit offers whenever I can to whoever I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicfingers00 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I think Buyer’s request is meant for the level 2 and expert. There is a low rate for beginners to win a proposal. Therfore, beginners also should work hard to promote their giggs before playing with BUYER’S REQUEST i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markgreenway Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I do agree with the comment above about the original request and my offer showing when the buyer contacts you. Quite often I will submit an offer and when the buyer eventually gets in touch I can’t always remember what they requested or how much I quoted. Especially if they just respond with something like “how long will this work take you?”.Also the option of adding a message from the phone app when responding to offers would be good. I often find myself jumping between the app and browser on my phone when I see an offer I want to reply to because I don’t like sending an offer without a personal message.

markgreenway Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Just out of interest, how do you generally reply or price an offer when the request just says something like “build me a website”? Obviously the work/price would differ depending upon the type of website and the work involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mompreneur13 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hmm… Interesting. When I first started on Fiverr, I submitted for these. However it didn’t seem to generate any buyer interest and it certainly didn’t lead to any sales. I honestly haven’t thought about it for ages. It’s worth trying again.

mabever1 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Add a NEW RESPONSE - DECLINE vs REJECTION (being a “negative” remark from Buyer. I also received Seller messages that were poorly written and off-putting, but upon reviewing their FIVERR profile / offerings / samples, I could see some Benefits in working with them.

saba_bukhari Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 i respond to those requests which i know i can do perfectly and m sure that my work will definitely satisfy the buyer but m a new seller i get single requests once in a month i dont know how to increase my sales :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katja1700 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I just send my first offer 🙂 I see a lot of things I could cater for in buyers request, but am just too shy to write offers. But this prompt seemed interesting, well worded and couldn’t resist trying to get the job. Yes, I chose a request simply because it was interesting, something I wouldn’t feel bad if I had to work a little extra for.Sadly my fiverr portfolio is very limited at the moment, as I haven’t really been active promoting… that’s one reason they might choose someone else with more things in their portfolio.

fivergraphics5 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Reply to @seofanatics:I agree with ‘seofanatics’ (about how it doesn’t yield results like before etc.) and ‘emasonwrites’ to add new features:A “report spam” featureA feature that shows more "buyer/requester information or details) such as how many requests a buyer “submits vs. how much they select/order” so if a buyer is always submitting requests but not ordering/selecting offers, then sellers can see the bad vs. good ratio’s.add “top buyer badge” to requester if applicable or “top requester” or have a ranking system. (This will make if easy for sellers to see who’s more serious).Anything else?-FiverGraphics5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishardy Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 since what i do is pretty specific, it’s relatively easy for me to select requests. of course the definition of my services loosens quite a bit if my queue is running low, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtongsports Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I respond to the ones that are in my specific categories and also respond to BUYERS, not SELLERS trying to spam and RUIN THE BUYER REQUEST SECTION!!! UGH, just some respect and marketing ethics is all it takes. Fiverr should post an article about SPAM and MARKETING the RIGHT WAY!DTong (TRS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenku99 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I’m sure this has already been touched on in this feed, but it seems to me that especially in the past few months, the ‘buyer request’ section has become a place for sellers to advertise their services. When I go to that section, as a seller, I want to actually see real buyers who are looking for someone to work on their particular project. I don’t want to see page after page of ‘I will edit anything’ or ‘I am in search of something to write’. Should sellers even be able to post to the ‘Buyer Request’ section? I’ve not tried to do that myself so I’m not sure how that works, but I just know that when I first joined back in January, that was a great way to bid on actual projects, and now it’s become a place for desperate sellers to plea for jobs.Just my two cents. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricksper Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Until recently, when I reviewed my Offers Sent, I could tell which of my offers were still open. Offers that were completed or deleted had a line drawn through them. Now the line is no longer there and is replaced with a mouseover pop-up telling me that the request has been deleted. Yet it remains intact in my list of Sent Offers. I now have to manually scroll through the entire list to view each offer’s status. Please explain how this behavior is an improvement to the Buyer Request feature… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierregeier Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Today I send out my first Offer on one of the buyer requests. At first I skipped the ones with more than 10 Offers, but after reading the thread here I consider looking at the requests again. It’s sad that the system there is broken so bad 😦I think the main problem here is the language barrier and the fact that people are not really read what is written on their screen.We already have many great, not that greedy, people here on fiverr. I wish fiverr would have some volunteers who can clean up some of the buyer requests - I would even do this by myself. In the end this would help everyone.Sellers would see this as an actual tool to get new buyers.And buyers have a chance again to get more serious offers.Just my thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasminmagtown Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 When I see a buyer request, I also pay attention to the information given by the buyer. I even check their profile to know if they have been in Fiverr a long time or not. That way, I would know how to approach with the buyer with a personalized message.

vijayjangid Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Well, Buyer Requests feature is not limited to Level1/2 or Top sellers. I feel even a newbie can win the deal. Everything depends on the request made and the response proposed.I usually avoid requests -Incomplete or insufficient requirements (e.g. want a logo for my business), such buyers seems not be very serious about the order or they are in hurry.No clear intentions. Buyer requests are designed to request for custom orders to get in touch with new sellers (as most of the buyers prefer repeating the sellers once they like one). Buyers have different priorities like Money(cheaper), Time (quickness), Quality (skilled & proficient sellers only)I like requests -Proper request stated with clear intentions.Priorities defined well (Money/Time/Quality)Check if buyer is online, if so, there are chances that your proposal can be reviewed by buyer.

webconsults Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 When sending buyer requests, you should ensure the buyer requests you are sending is related to your services and gig. Also if you noticed buyer requests always pops up according to your gig category. So that should give you a great hint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david388 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Reply to @twistedweb123: Just now saw your followup question. Yes - absolutely. Some kind of reject option that also took the offer out of our notifications. This would reduce the clutter and let us better evaluate the higher-quality offers that come through.
