seo_4_rank Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hello all! I am here in fiverr for not so long, but I am a buyer too. So heres my question to buyers, what do you think about the new concept of fiverr to encourage sellers to increase base price for gigs? Do you agree or disagree? I would like to hear more buyer’s opinions. Thanks.AgreeDisagree0votersShow results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I am not convinced that fiverr is trying to get sellers to raise prices. I have seen nothing that would make me think that.I understand someone mentioned this recently in a discussion but that is not my experience. On the contrary the gigs on top in my category are all ones that only sell for $5 or $10 so let’s not make baseless assumptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seo_4_rank Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Nope. Can you tell me what it said and when you saw it? Or were you joking?Not a joke. At least in digital marketing / seo category we have received a notification that we should update to correct subcategory and adjust our prices. And gigs that haven’t updated this info could be removed from site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seo_4_rank Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 There is another seller that can confirm what I said above:Fiverr Forum Major bug in searchYou can not complain to anyone because this is NOT a bug. Fiverr informed some sellers in December (just before all this started) that if they did not increase their base price from $5 and start using packages THEIR GIGS WOULD BE REMOVED FROM SEARCH....

misscrystal Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I haven’t gotten a pop up and if this is so important why was it in a pop up anyway?Why not send a letter about it?It might not apply to my category. Most don’t have packages in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that reason, Fiverr isn’t likely to categorize you as a seller – no matter how many gigs you may have put on pause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Apparently this is only for this new set of categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t give my opinion on how to improve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 So?? Because I don’t have reviews I can’t buy things on fiverr too? I can’t give my opinion on how to improve it?Sure you can! It just might confuse others like it did me. You didn’t realize it was only for your category.Maybe you could edit your title to say it’s just for digital marketing or something.

jonbaas Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 So?? Because I don’t have reviews I can’t buy things on fiverr too? I can’t give my opinion on how to improve it?Here on Fiverr, there are buyers, and there are sellers. Some users are both. If you’re only a buyer (and have no reviews as a seller), then what stakes do you have in the selling end of things? You can always share your opinion, but that doesn’t mean the rest of us have to agree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
younginjr Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I buy and sell on fiverr, am not convinced fiverr is trying to increase the base price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digihub Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Sooner or later, base gig price on fiverr, has to increase as inflation keeps on growing world over, or there will be few gigs available at $5. But fiverr would like to stick to $5 base price as far as possible because that is how they started and the word “five” is in their domain name. So what will happen is only gigs which involves less human work, and those who are using automated software to provide the services will offer gigs at $5.And it is natural that seller will look for more price and buyer will look for less price.
