Is this a feature or a bug of the buyer request display algorithm?
Requests are shown based on which gigs you offer. If you create a new gig in a different category or subcategory then you will see requests related to your new gig.
If you didn’t create any new gigs recently then it could be a bug. I’ve seen old requests surfacing during the past few days. (More than usually)
Ahh, that’s a good point, ux.
I originally just had a ebook cover design gig, but I’ve added a Halloween poster gig and an album cover design gig.
That must be the reason why the request criteria have broadened out.
Having said that, I was getting requests for design jobs unrelated to ebooks, anyway, but only a few (maximum 6 a day)
I suppose the lesson to be learned for all new sellers is to increase the variety of related gig types you offer; not just for the gigs themselves to attract buyers, but for you to see many more buyer requests, too.

I’m a new seller and I’ve completed a few orders (with good reviews) purely from responding to buyer requests.
Suddenly, my list of buyer requests has grown from a handful a day to over 700! :crazy_face:
Admittedly, the requests aren’t all in my particular areas of expertise, but there’s still loads to respond to.

(I’m NOT complaining, of course)

Dramatic Increase in Buyer Requests?
in My Fiverr Experience
Posted
I’m seeing requests now that are pretty broad. For example: app development, architectural contract drafting, choosing presents for a 10 year old girl, creating a “shopify aliexpress dropshipping store”, etc.
None of these are even remotely related to my gig wording or tags but among the stuff I don’t want to do, there is plenty of graphic design related stuff I’m interested in.
I’m inclined to think it’s a fortuitous bug, tbh!
