It's come to my attention that our bids go to waste whenever we get ignored by buyers. This is unfair. We have only 15 bids and no way to purchase more. We can't even contract the buyer to ask them to cancel our proposals if they aren't interested, so many bids just go to waste. 

I'm sure every freelancer here experiences the same, so on behalf of all of us, I'm asking to change this system. We should be AT LEAST allowed to contact the buyers and ask them to cancel it if they aren't interested, or make it automatic somehow. It's not up to me to figure it out, but PPH team.

  Hi Monika,

  thanks for your feedback.

  Perhaps you are not aware of the ability that you have to purchase additional proposal credits.

  More specifically, if you go into your Settings screen where the current number of both normal and featured proposal credits is displayed, you can see that on the right hand side there is the option of buying more.

  The reason for having a limited amount of credits (which gets reset every month) is for helping freelancers send more targeted proposals and for buyers to receive more relevant ones.

  Hope the above clarifies things.

   

  Kind regards,
