Automatic Posting of Jobs to everyone from a private seller contact email is madness!!

Having been a regular buyer on PPH for years I know find my self caught out by this latest "FEATURE". When selecting candidates for doing specific job types I prefer to look at portfolios, consider PPH rating, read any testimonials, consider range of hourlies available and then contact those sellers directly with a brief via the contact seller button.

Pretty simple really and it stops the cascade of unwanted, irrelevant and unqualified sellers contacting me. Makes buying and working on PPH easy and controllable.

Now I find that unless I uncheck a box, when choosing to send an PRIVATE EMAIL to a chosen seller that PPH will automatically post my request and brief publicly whether I want to or not.

This is MADNESS and a breach of privacy and confidentiality to leave this option checked positively. I agree that some users may like the feature, but this should be a positive opt-in decided by the seller and not gratuitously shared by PPH without clearly informing the buyer first.

Change it PPH!!!
