Why I can’t see Buyer Requests on Fiverr?
There are many reasons, why you can’t see any buyer requests on your seller profile. Have a look at them and find the real reason why you are not seeing Fiverr requests.
1. No Active Gigs
Fiverr only shows buyer requests to sellers who have active gigs. So if you have not published any gig on Fiverr yet, you will not see the buyer requests. To see the buyer requests, publish more gigs on your seller account.
2. Gigs are too Niche
By selecting only limited subcategories for a gig, you will make your gig too specific. In other words, the range of your gig will reduce and Fiverr will find it difficult to relate your gig with the buyer requests.
3. Wrong Gig Category
If you select the wrong category for your gig, you will not see the buyer requests or see the ones that you can’t do. The reason is, Fiverr will link your gig with the wrong requests according to the categories you select in a gig.
4. Less Response Time
The other reason, you can’t see buyers’ requests is that you have less response time. The best response time you can have is 1 hour. But if your response rate is more than 3 hours then Fiverr will penalize your profile for showing a Fiverr buyer’s request.
Furthermore, if you have just created a seller profile, you will not see any buyer request. However, Fiverr will resolve this new profile issue in some days automatically.
5. Fiverr New Policy
Fiverr has introduced some changes in its policy. According to this policy, Fiverr only shows buyer requests to those sellers who completely meet the buyer’s requirements. All the other sellers will not be able to see any buyer requests until they fulfill all the requirements.
