I often visit "Want to buy" section and find many interesting offers to pickup the job. However i am many many times frustrated :mad: when i see how unprofessional some people can be and how LOW it looks like when you see some great offer with good details about job requirements, then blow you see few offers type:

ready to work
PLEASE ORDER ME SIR

or like this:

Order me plese Sir... Grrrrr

What the heck.... This is so looooow, so unprofessional.... I would never buy from seller like this, even if it's expert in job.
People like this really need some education, because this site should be looking like union of professionals, not like trash market!!!

I know that many of these sellers send PM with their offers, but it is not enough!

When you accepting someones BID, you accepting terms which is written in their bid offer, and in bids like this, there is no any promise that they will do anything for you in return for your money.

I really wish that sellers take this site more seriously, because this is great marketplace.

Let's make this place nice, tidy and professional looking!!

Absolutely! I love the idea about all of us being a union of professionals. And, I always strive to be at my most professional best, with highest ethics whenever working with my clients. And, of course, best English usage too.

However, not everyone is a native English speaker here and some are just doing the best they can with responding in the limited English they know. Many struggle with writing the English language correctly.

That's how I always try to look at these situations, giving the person the benefit of the doubt that maybe they don't know or can't do any better.

And, yes I can understand your concerns here. It's not just about semantics. The sellers here are clearly not spelling out what they will do for the buyer in these situations. So if they leave that blank, it could be assumed by the buyer that the seller has agreed to all he has stipulated in his 'want to buy' ad.

That could lead to unfortunate consequences and misunderstandings. Placing a bid on a WTB creates a contract to do the job, if the buyer accepts that bid. And, the seller is obligated. Ideally, the seller will consider twice before hastily making a commitment if he or she is not willing to do all that is asked.

I think there should be a limit of description before they can submit an offer, Like please write atleast 200 - 300 words before submitting offer/bid !

Limit?
They would probably write please order me and copy / paste it as many times as need... i seen this too

I just consider this an easy way to weed out the people I know I will not order from. Not sure if this could ever be stopped or is considered spam or not, but it's a pretty easy way to know to steer clear.

I report crap posted in the WTB section quite often, and I hear you on the poor quality of posts there.

Just a few minutes ago I noticed one that just had a number with NO description at all, yet the seller was a level 4, which is a rarity around here, so I checked out his services and he had over 1000 sales!! Whoa!! I looked them over and was shocked at just how vague the descriptions were, to the point where a buyer really wouldn't know exactly what they were buying. I've also seen Clickbank sales pages that were so vague they were laughable, yet the products sold very well (high gravity).

So, maybe the "secret" to success is to be vague and use "smoke and mirrors" to dazzle the buyer. lol

"Smoke and Mirrors" (the words I used) is an expression meaning to create an illusion for the purpose of deceiving someone or hiding the truth.
