Sellers posting Buyer requests to promote themselves

[amyourfriend]

I can’t seem to understand. In the Buyer’s request section, i constantly see many sellers promote themselves, selling their services when it should be a place for buyers only.

To experiment, I copied pasted their requests and tried to post a request myself exactly with their wordings but each time my request gets denied!

Then how come their requests promoting themselves are approved. and mine gets rejected.

Dear Mauritius:

Ooh, that was CLEVER!

I can see you’re gonna be trouble!

Welcome to Fiverr!

My theory is that those folks at least have some sales and reviews, so they have a higher trust level on Fiverr than a New Seller, such as yourself.

See the Tips and Tricks below to help you better navigate Buyer Requests. And get used to seeing spam there, until some future day…

Good luck,
Blaise

As a general rule, when I have time to participate in the Fiverr Forum and I notice a request like yours in the “Improve My Gig” section, I am willing and able to look at a Seller’s Profile and one gig one time.

Here’s a thread discussing a specific example of a Buyer Request for which I created a gig and then asked for help improving that gig via the forum.
