Requesting Specific Services
Requesting Specific Services
If you have trouble finding
what you are looking for or have a special request, then you can submit a request.
This allows you to make a request to the Freelancer-Projects community. If your
request meets the criteria of a seller, the seller will submit an offer.
To request a
specific service:
- Once logged in, place your mouse over your
username and click Requests > Post
a Request.
- In the description area, write what you
are searching for.
For example, if you are looking for a logo, you can specify your company
name, business type, preferred color, etc. If you want, you can
attach a file.
Note: You can only attach one file up to
30 MB.
- Select when you would like your service
delivered once you place your order.
You can select 24
Hours, 3
Days, 7
Days, or select Other
and specify a number of days between 1-30 days.
- Select the category and subcategory of
your request.
For example, if you are looking for a logo, you should choose "Logo
Design" within the "Graphics & Design" category.
- Enter your budget for the service you are
requesting.
- Click Post.
Your request will be labeled PENDING
until it is approved by Freelancer-Projects. If your request is not
approved, it will be labeled UNAPPROVED.
Note:
Buyer requests with no new activity (i.e. new offers or boosting), will expire
after 14 days.
To manage your requests:
- Once logged in, place your mouse over your
username and click Requests > Manage Requests.
- If your request is approved, in the Action drop-down list, you
can select:
- Pause if you want to pause your
request due to too many offers, for example.
- Boost if you want to push your
request to the top of the list of requests by updating the date of
request to be the "Boost" date. You can boost a request only
once, per request. The label, "Boosted", will appear next to your request
if you select this action.
- Delete if you want to remove your
request.
If your request is approved, click Review Offers.
You will see a number of offers next to the button.
To sort your offers by date, price,
delivery time, ratings or reviews, click the Sort Offers by drop-down
list.
To accept a request or find out more
information about the seller, click Order
