Are you offering a reward? You may even want to quote how much you're offering, people want to know if it's worth their time helping you. I have often helped out "random shouts" for crafting, only to find out they not only not give any tip, but they expect me to use my own crystals.

And as for repairs, DON'T offer a dark matter (waste of time for the crafter). Offer gil that's a bit more than the cost of the matter and you will get repaired fast.
