aac729 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 new to the site and one of their GIGS has the BEST SELLER tag but when you look at their reviews…instead of having no reveiws with ANY of the stars showing…the STARS are their but they are EMPTY as opposed to anything ranging from one star filled solid yellow all the way up to a five star with solid yellow. I don’t understand this…does it mean they actually did make a sale but the purchaser never reviewed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tee_hi Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Can you take a screenshot of the page in question, but making sure to remove their personal info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneymorgan Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I would guess the “best selling gig” for a new seller is determined by:First gig they published, orWhich gig they’ve soldWithout reviews, it’s impossible to know whether they’ve completed an order before or not.

tee_hi Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Yeah; what sidneymorgan said sounds about right; either they’re brand new and that’s the first gig they created or they HAVE had sales with that particular gig, but no one reviewed the sales.

Just seems odd. I hired this person but there are red flags already that they might not deliver…not getting reviews for work done could be another one.

Some buyers never leave reviews, they’re too busy etc. - sellers can’t be blamed for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it's 67% of my buyers left me reviews. So I was just wondering is that an average number, do you guys have more or... Reading time: 5 mins ?

I don’t understand this…does it mean they actually did make a sale but the purchaser never reviewed it?GIGS has the BEST SELLER tagIf a newer person has one gig, by default it will be their “Best Seller”.It does not mean it’s like a Kindle “Best Seller”, but the best among that sellers gigs.If they have two gigs, and one of them has sold once, the buyer may not have left a rating, but that one gig would still be their “Best Seller”.A best selling book is a competition among tens of thousands of books. The Best Seller on Fiverr means that seller may have two or half dozen gigs, and out of those one of them sells better than the others.As for ratings, if someone gets 60-70% ratings, that’s considered pretty good. A new seller could easily have two or three sales and no ratings, although it’s rare.New people can often get better averages because their first half dozen sales are often from people they know outside of Fiverr.If my friend buys my gig, she is highly likely to leave me a great review.

I always believed if a new seller was on with no reviews yet NO stars would appear instead of EMPTY STARS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always believed if a new seller was on with no reviews yet NO stars would appear instead of EMPTY STARS.If a seller has made some sales on the gig but has got no reviews the stars appear empty. New arrival gigs appear to have no stars at all showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aac729 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Update: Go figure…despite my worries the seller with the empty stars delivered and ahead of time! He now has five SOLID stars. Well earned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
