priya007 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hello,I have been researching a lot on Fiverr recently to improve my sales and looking at the other GIG, to If could do something to Improve my GIG.I saw something and was amazed to see a level 2 seller on Very First page of logo design Category with just 57 Reviews. (WOW)Seller A must be really talented to be there on very first page with top rated sellers and with those with more than 1k reviews.When I saw the GIG, seller A have been on Fiverr for just 4 months, and the Reviews are from another seller B, from the same country region. looked further in Seller B Reviews and Found Another Seller C Review And this went on and on With most of the reviews exchanged like a web. leading to each other profile.So just exchanging reviews with in each other and all joined this year in Aug, Sep, Oct. this year.Clearly Exchange is Happening or same person.Should it be reported or let Fiverr look at it them self and just leave the thing.

catwriter Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 @eoinfinnegan I remember reading one of misscrystal post that she reported something like this earlier to Fiverr and nothing HappenedIt takes time to investigate every report (could be a few months), but quite often, something does get done (and then you see scammers crying on the forum that their accounts were disabled even though they did nothing wrong).

mahfuzazam Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I’ve heard of this type of review exchange tricks. You can do nothing about it too since seller A is not getting any reviews back from seller B and also same goes for Seller B and C. Since none of the sellers are exchanging reviews directly with the same seller, FIverr does nothing about these schemes.This is unfair by all means and FIverr definitely should go through these.

xuntes Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 You should report these behaviors, but I wouldn’t have much hope that something will be done.I’ve been reporting an user who clearly have 2 accounts selling in the same category, and also have a 3rd account (as buyer) who “coincidentally” buy dozens of consecutive orders in both accounts at the same time just to boost the reviews. (one of these 2 gigs have 89 consecutive reviews in a couple of hours - not even the best seller in this category can handle so much orders in just a few hours).I’ve been contacting fiverr support over 2 months and nothing has been done. They started to ignore me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gina_riley2 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Exchanging reviews is really poor way of attracting buyers and total waste of money. 5r takes 20% of your money.When a real buyer comes along then they will get poor review or cancellation, their stats will go down and they will be screwed.We read buyers saying, “this seller is level 2 with 100 ⭐ reviews.” Now you know why.Now, with the new leveling, those cheaters will be caught faster.

englishcarabao1 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Definitely not allowed, but just my two cents: so long as they are genuinely creating value for each other, ex. A buys scripts from B, B makes voiceovers for C, and C makes videos for A, in which case they were actual business partners who needed each other’s gigs to thrive, then I think it’s fine.
