I dont know how easy it would be to create, but being able to filter the results by services costing $1-$15 / $15-$50 / $50-$100 / $100+ could be useful.

Sometimes you know you need something cheap, other times you are looking for something much more substantial and dont want to sort through all the BS. Just a thought.
 


Wouldn't that be hard to do since some rates are based on what's ordered? I mean if you order one article that is $5 but if you order 10 that is $50 you get the point. I agree that it would be easier to navigate but not sure how you could do that.
 
It would definitely be difficult to implement. I've checked out a number of similar forums with "Buy Sell Trade" sections, and so far none of them have managed to add the type of filter you're suggesting.
 
(Oops, posted too soon!)

The problem is that some content writers have very complicated ways of computing their rates. For example, a writer may charge $12 for a single 500-word article, but $9/article for bulk orders. He wouldn't fall neatly into any of the categories if the boundary was set at $10.

Some writers will charge different rates depending on the length of the article; say, $10 for a 500-word article and $17 for a 1000-word article. There are also some writers who charge higher rates for certain topics and lower rates for others.

It would be a difficult task to create categories to accomodate all of these writers. Perhaps one solution would be to allow their threads to appear in more than one category.
 
Many people do not put pricing in the thread. I mostly see "PM me for the prices" or sometimes not even that, just writes what he/she offers and force people to PM them...

I would say, first there should be a rule that everyone must put the pricing in the thread.

Then maybe we can sort them..

I completely agree. I think some sort of price should be required on sales posts. It results in people posting in their thread to PM them the price over and over and over again. Seems like an effective way to keep your thread at the top of the section...
 
I think we just need a Cheap Stuff section with low fees for the content writers because they don't really make much to begin with instead of letting them migrate to other forums.
