I think the quality of the marketplace would improve if sellers had to put a buy link to make it easy to conduct transactions. Some of these sellers are so poor at marketing they lack the knowledge and care to even put a buy link. It's ironic this happens on a marketing forum.
 
BHW is a forum with a marketplace and not a marketplace with a forum. AND, there are many services at BHW Marketplace which are unique and not found in other typical marketplaces.
I have bought services from BHW marketplace and never found it an inconvenience to contact the sellers in order to buy services. Even if there is no Buy Now, the sellers in active sales thread are responsive and provide all the necessary options for buying their services.
In no other marketplace other than BHW, have I seen sellers who are so passionate about what they sell, especially in reference to the active sales threads. In none of the popular marketplaces can I have a direct interaction with a seller, but here at BHW marketplace this is possible, which helps sellers to provide better customer service as compared to other marketplaces. Even if there is a Buy Now in a BHW sales thread, in such cases also I prefer to first contact the seller before I buy, as it gives me a better sense of confidence in moving ahead.
And, about a seller being poor at marketing, avoid buying and look for another seller : for almost every service, there are lots of sellers.

I agree. If you're so clueless as to not even include a buy link... You shouldn't be able to sell on here. And chances are you'd be on the shitlist faster than amazon delivers my packages.
I've seen so many contact mes, tf? Usually some Gmail address. You know its fucked if they can't be bothered to have their own email address @domain.com lolol. Not even a simple jotform? I'd take anything over manually emailing that sketch looking email address. Come on mate.. It's like they don't want us to buy their stuff.

It'll do the marketplace a favour as you stated.
 
If you can find a marketplace thread without a buy CTA then please hit the report button as this would clearly be pointless.
However as all threads are reviewed under these guidelines https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/the-black-hat-world-marketplace-rules.1295700/ before they are set live that would be most unlikely.

If you don’t want to buy from a gmail or require more information from the seller then you have the option to hit them up via pm or reach out to them on their thread. However there will always be a buy option on all threads in the MP otherwise they would be rejected under our guidelines.

Asked - buy button on all MP threads.
Answered - it doesn’t need to be a buy button but all threads will have a buy CTA.
Closed - IF there isn’t a buy CTA hit the report button and we’ll get that fixed up and suggest the merchant gives you a nice discount for helping them out.
