So the Buyer requests filter is completely broken?

Do you see a pattern here

woofy31 · September 21, 2017, 5:25pm

1 person, 5 different accounts?

That’s outrageous!

Or did the copycats reach the BR area, too?

No idea what’s going on. It started yesterday and at first I thought it’s just a temporary glitch, but it doesn’t look like it.

PS. It took 4 hours last time for me to post my request when I needed it urgently.
Apparently I’m special and go through a different screening process

woofy31 · September 21, 2017, 5:29pm

Genuine requests are indeed a rarity these days, hence the special treatment

It’s like Fiverr is curious how that could happen, they must party because of it, hence the 4 hours.

LOL
I feel so special indeed.

And where is the easy reporting system?
Almost 200 votes, which other features has received so many in this forum

I think this could be an interesting experiment.
How many "?"s gets the most responses?
Does saying “thank you” make any difference?
How casual can you be in a photo and get results or do people like boats more?

I should have used my 10 offers and invited them to this thread. We could have probably received some valuable stats

I did send it to CS, so let’s see what’s their comment

I have a picture of row boats and beautiful Lake McDonald in Glacier Park on one of my gigs. So far no sales on that gig. Maybe people don’t like boats more? But at least it is my own picture.

Damn dude! I’v been seeing tons of sellers on the BR though too. WTF? Hopefully that update will fix it!

Response from customer service
I figured I’ll get a template response. That’s why I don’t bother to report spam in BR section. It took me longer to write them a message than CS to send me this template.

I saw this kind of issues more than 100 times, every i click on buyer request and i saw a branch of spamming seller post.

uxreview · September 22, 2017, 12:47am

I’m used to the regular spam, but today it was really odd to see 5 requests in a row with the same wording. I haven’t seen that for my category before and I’ve been on Fiverr for a couple of years now. It seems to be trending in the wrong direction.

data1993 · September 22, 2017, 2:32am

This is really getting annoying can’t Fiverr ban these accounts?

imrankhan9256 · October 1, 2017, 4:30am

Please help me! Why don’t I find any buyer request?

uk1000 · October 1, 2017, 4:53am

It might just be there are no current requests in your category/subcategory. If so, refresh the page (Ctrl F5) every so often or try again at another time. You could also create more gigs in different categories.

uk1000 · October 1, 2017, 5:06am

I wonder if they are working on the buyer request reporting system that has been asked for. Or maybe the text such as “give me a job” (and the similar wording) will be added to the current buyer request filter. Maybe there is a filter in place but it just didn’t have the phrases specified. I assume they will also check if it’s all the same person (with 5 separate accounts). They could also (if it doesn’t already) add in a check for identical/almost identical requests posted at almost the exact same date & time by different accounts which may indicate that it is multiple accounts held by the same user or similar issue.

Many Many Thanks for you
