1. What’s the difference between the previous Buyer Request feature and the matching feature? The matching feature provides a more accommodating and beneficial service in terms of the buyer you’re matched with, the quality of service you delivered, and your price range. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and ha The old system worked well for me - hard work but it worked The new system has not yet provided me with a single suitable gig since it started

I regret the demise for buyer requests. I have done over 1000 gigs. With the increase in recent competition, I have responded to many buyer requests - over 4000 of them! One of the other advantages of Buyer requests was that you could see what people were looking for. I offer a consultancy type of service. So if several people were looking for a particular type of consultancy, I could generate a new gig to respond. Now I do not have that information. I have no idea why Fiverr deleted Buyer Requests. They deleted them without notice or consultation or explanation. It would be useful if Fiverr could record, analyze and report significant words in the general Buyer Requests so we know how to configure new gigs to meet the demand.

We have two message boxes at the moment A notifications and an inbox it would be quite good to have three boxes The current inbox would be for people that I messaged last The new inbox is for people waiting for my reply This would make it easier for me to manage my replies better. Missing a reply can put you in breach of the unfair inequitable totally OTP analytics penalties and cost you thousands! And the names of the three boxes could be: 1. Gig Related Messages 2. Outbox 3. Inbox There is no need to split the gig messages into in and out as they are controlled by the 'Manage Orders' screen Kerry

My tips are: Have standard replies - well thought out. Modify each standard reply based on what is asked Quote the request back to them - suitably amended Feel free to offer a different service than the one they have asked Ignore their quoted price and quote your own price Ignore their quoted time and quote your own time (unless they mention time restraints in the request) I never do samples as this gives them enough to do it themselves - but some types of gigs could do it I never do school projects I never do vague unspecific requests Try and pick the ones that have not many responses Try and answer promptly (but sleep is important too!) Do not answer requests which are more than a day old Ignore requests in any language that you do not understand Kerry

Yes, I should analyse that!

I have now responded to over 4000 Buyer Requests it is hard work! Kerry

Not if you have a lot of them!

I do a lot of buyer requests. I have done nearly 4000. Because of the way that Fiverr presents my gigs it is the only way I get any business. I have done over 900 gigs. So I have a lot of buyer offers in response to buyer requests. The problem is that the list of my buyer responses is very long. And there is no date in the list. And there is no search option. If someone takes days - or worse even, months! -to respond again, it is time consuming and error prone to find the original requests and their replies. I used to record the request and my rely - perhaps I had better go back to that system. i can inquire on my record! Kerry

I respond to the maximum buyer requests nearly every day. If someone accepts one but late it is very hard to find them. It would help if the list had dates on it Even better would be a search function on the name Kerry

yes, I want it in numbers not pictures. Preferably numbers which i can transfer to a spreadsheet

It would be good if the map graphics showing the countries - with flyovers for volumes - could have an actual list of countries with the number of sales in each. I would find this interesting and useful Kerry

I am finding the restriction on 10 Buyer Requests a day very bad. I have done over 900 gigs A month or so a go, my gigs more or less stopped. I presume it was Fiverr rearranging search priorities. My response has been to answer Buyer Requests - yes I know it is hard work! I have responded to nearly 3700 Buyer Requests. But I have no other options. I have one gig where I have done over 200 responses - all satisfactory - and I am now at #400 on the list!!! It would be good if I could request Fiverr to check my responses, agree that they were not spam or frivolous and then take away the limit of 10. Or alternatively have no limit for everyone but have the option of reporting spam type responses - and if you get too many Fiverr can either restrict you or not allow you to respond. That would work Kerry Contractchecker

Interesting answers which I am generally in agreement with. I would add that the requirement to send an example of your work in my case is ridiculous. If I sent a sample of my work, in many cases, that tells them what to do and they do not need a gig! There are also a lot which are people wanting to do their exams for them And there are a lot whose suggested payment methods would be outside the TOS eg commission based But the ones I really like are those that say "tell me how to make money as such and such for $5". If I knew how to make money at that, why would I tell them? Of if I did tell them, I would charge thousands of dollars!!! Lots of them say to PM me - when you do not have enough information to do so. It would be a good idea if we could report them to Fiverr so the request could be deleted. If someone has too many requests deleted, they could be banned.

I respond to many Buyer Requests - the maximum I can respond to in any day. I find it totally amusing that people can respond and quote when the Buyer Request information given is minimal. Often the price should be volumes associated but no volumes are given,

And Bill, it would be good if I could filter out non-English BR. I am sure other people might want to filter in requests in their language. So we need a language filter please.
