Is it possible for buyers to invite (ask) sellers (freelancers) to create custom offers for your requests (briefs)? Or, to put it even more simply, is there any way for buyers to give sellers a link to their requests? Or can buyers, at the very least, tell Fiverr employees which sellers the buyers are interested in working with, who the buyers think will be good matches? The last request I created on Fiverr as a buyer, I ended up copy-pasting all the information in a private chat to a seller.

And, as it turns out, it's impossible to give other users a link to these Briefs (Requests). The reason is that, as I wrote, these Briefs exist only in your personal Notifications area. As a result, you have to manually copy-paste all the information in private chats with potential candidates. Then, if you find someone who is willing to do the job, you must ask them to create a custom offer that you can then accept. (Since they cannot accept your request, because it's in your notifications inbox only.) I'm flabbergasted that this process is so user-unfriendly, particularly given the revenue of this online marketplace, and its launch year. Am I completely overlooking something obvious here that makes it all much easier, or what?

I see that, apparently, it is called a "Brief", and it only exists as a Notification.

I am running into the exact same problem. I submitted a Request about an hour ago, but I cannot find it anywhere, nor have I received any reactions to it. I posted the same project on one of your competitor's websites (that I won't mention by name), and within seconds I had reactions, bids, chats, etc. I only see "Orders" (empty) and the option to go to "Fiverr Pro". Where is my Request, did it accidentally disappear, does it require approval... what's going on?
