kindoflost Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Many times a buyer request will be very vague, but tell you enough to make you interested, and at the same time not tell you enough to understand what the buyer really wants (let along estimate how long it will take you or how much to bid)What I’ve been doing (a few times only) is to reply with a question showing I know what I am talking about and asking for more details.Here is my question: in the bid I offer 1 review, 30 days delivery and a $10,000 charge, that is, in a way, the least attractive offer you can make. Is this acceptable according to Fiverr rules?My thought is, I don’t want to get stuck with an accepted offer for something I may not be able to do.Thoughts?

misscrystal Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I’m not sure why you are making an offer that is mostly not going to get any response. Yes it’s acceptable to fiverr rules, just not going to accomplish anything.I understand you need to know more details before accepting but this would scare most buyers away without replying. But there’s no harm in trying this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kindoflost Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Not sure either… there is little worse than a buyer who doesn’t know what they want… but I need to increase sales. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miacmht Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yes, especially in my field. The most detailed the buyers could write is "I have written a children’s book and am looking for an illustrator. I will need around 10 illustrations. ".I need a lot more information to decide the price and timeline.But even if they want to write more, there is no spaceHow am I supposed to bid then?

topaz_muse Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 It will either be vague or requests for work with a guarantee to reward the job to a seller whose willing to submit some work for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanmeet Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 yeah you are right some Buyer do not know their requirement or may be they will not able to describe their needs. and one more point… In buyer requests section there are so many sellers who will post about their gigs. may be all sellers have suffering same problem like me that sometime its difficult to understand which offer we are sending to is Buyer or Seller ?May be Fiverr should stop these type of guys… and a one format for buyers that they can describe their requirements easily.

tarnia Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I think that the word count field in the Buyer requests needs to be increased maybe we can suggest that to Fiverr I see people run out of room a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
