Take 2 minutes and go through!!

I am facing issue while bidding. I believe some expert freelancer can help me.

As stated by the SUPPORT TEAM there is a new feature (I am sure you guys are also familiar with this) in the bidding system.

The message is showing as:

Bidding on this project is restricted to experienced freelancers who have recently worked with at least 5 employers they have not worked with before. This is based on your last few hundred bids on projects where the employer paid at least one of the bidders.

I have talked to the support team and they said, this feature is temporary and in the testing phase. Although they are encouraging for premium membership and avail maximum amount of bids, on the other side they are restricting when we are going to place our bid.

I wanted to know your opinion. If you think this is not good for us please bid on this project and write your opinion in the proposal section.

You can also talk to the support team and share your feedback.

Thank you!

We must ask why they have introduced this new feature. I don`t know whether this is for their or our`s benefit.

I agree with you. This feature is unfair and denigrates the hard work, time and money we have put into developing our business on this platform.

Regarding restrictions on bidding on this platform I strongly agree that specific tasks are a highly specialised skill and the experienced need only apply. However it falls into the unworkability mode when posters rest More
