karanbhasin808 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I have a gig in which I had 2 sales. I had 1 good and 1 totally unfair negative review (Long story). I have good hopes for the future of that gig and I feel like it will sell a lot. Should I delete and create the exact same gig and start from scratch or try to recover this gig with 3.7 star review?If you are curious about the bad review, here’s the story:Fiverr Forum Story of an ignorant buyer who left unfair review + Helpful link if you care a...I had offered a custom order of an invitation design for 5$ via buyers request. The buyer accepted the request and I completed his order but he asked for revisions 11 times, I still modified my work 11 times without hesitation. The buyer also changed... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbaas Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Negative reviews are permanent. They do not go away if you delete the gig that you earned them on. If you choose to create a new gig, that negative review will remain on your account. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is harder for buyers to trust a gig with 3.7 star review compared to a gig with no review. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is harder for buyers to trust a gig with 3.7 star review compared to a gig with no review.I disagree. A gig with no reviews looks like a rookie gig – a random, “I wanna make money” service. A gig with reviews shows that you have experience. Build your reputation (which includes lower reviews), don’t try to con people into thinking you are perfect, because, you’re not.If you get a negative review, post an honest response to that review. A seller response to a negative review, can say a lot about the personality of that buyer. Most buyers that I know would rather base their purchase choices on the personality of the buyer, than an artificial – fake – “I’m the awesomest ever” seller who has nothing but perfect 5-star reviews. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your overall rating and the ratings on your active/visible gigs don’t match, it will look like you’re hiding something, and potential buyers might see you as dishonest because of that. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It bothered me because the review is unfair and does not rate to work itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep going with your good works. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is better to present your personality, and show your honesty through how you respond to negative reviews, than to run away and hide the truth. Deleting a gig because of a bad review is nothing more than giving up, and trying to hide the truth.Buyers prefer honest sellers. Insincere sellers who either have no confidence in their work, or seek to scam others, hide the truth from their buyers.Be an honest seller. Take the good with the bad. No one is perfect. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are too many 10 days to make a page. Thanks and good job”) you have violated Fiverr’s Terms of Service by delivering an incomplete order. You are lucky not to get permanently banned from Fiverr. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaharlowvo Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I had a first time buyer give me a 3.3 review out of all five stars for one year. Her words were positive but her stars were 3.3 so I was very confused. She actually came back the next day and asked if I would help her with another gig. Then I was really confused. I ended up explaining to her the review process and how important it is to buyers and sellers and feedback should be constructive. The fact that she came right back and wanted me to work with her again told me that her review was not in agreement with her actual feeling. We work together on a second project and she was so grateful that I helped her understand the process. I also was proud of myself for wanting to help her and not feel bitter. I was really taking a risk in working with her again, but I just left it up to the honest truth and I hope other people can learn from this. I wrote a comment on the post and I never posted it because I was so confused and disappointed. I deleted it and just left the post blank. It all works itself out. Like Michelle Obama says “they go low …you go hi.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 1-star review is permanent and will remain with your account indefinitely. Also, based on @catwriter, that review appears to be well-deserved. You absolutely MUST deliver complete orders. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sought out this topic because recently a buyer gave me 3.3 stars which was so unfair considering all she did before placing an order was send a link. No further information was provided and the messages I sent her went ignored. With that I still put in 100% effort to give her what I thought would fit her blog. If she had requested a revision, I would have swiftly provided one but she literally said nothing.Even her negative review was not constructive in any way. This makes me very tempted to remove the gig as I feel it taints my hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designablebyfet Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I think you can reply with an honest answer and state that in your reply to the review.In the end of the day, we can force customers to give us a 5 - whatever they give we take:)Hope it helps,Good luck,Fetoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
