realviews4u Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I read the threads so far and also the description, such as it is on Fiverr itself.But if you are both buyer and seller, do ALL messages count towards or against response rate?When you chat with another seller, they are under pressure to respond within 24 hours also. It can get crazy when two of you are both putting “OK” , “yes”’ “thanks” etc … It can go on for hours.Obviously, when somebody contacts me about an order I respond very quickly, yet my response rate is 84%.Seller to seller is included in the algorithm or not?

eoinfinnegan Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Only the first message received counts in response rate and response time. Once you reply to the first message, no other messages count in the response rate so there is no need for message tennis with other sellers.

realviews4u Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 However, new messages by sellers and not buyers count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miiila Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 There is no real distinction between seller and buyer accounts, many users are both seller and buyer too, so that wouldn´t work, the system can´t know if someone messages you as a seller or a buyer.You may want to look at the “Help Center”, there is more info about the response rate, like how to deal with spam messages for it to not affect your rate and so on.https://sellers.fiverr.com/en/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realviews4u Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Actually, I know what it is now.Buyer requests. I have added 2 in the last 30 days. I just could not get back to every one of them.Fiverr need to take Buyer Requests out of the equation as that is quite clearly a Buying situation, not a selling situation.

uxreview Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Yes, you do because so many always find you and message directly.message directlyYou’re talking about completely 2 different things.Response rate is calculated ONLY on the first direct message from any user (seller or buyer, doesn’t matter). It has nothing to do with offers sent to buyer requests. Please don’t create confusion for newbies reading the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the sellers see your buyer request and then they contact you. That is what I am talking about.Please don’t create confusion for newbies reading the forum.

You’re talking about direct messages that sellers have sent you 😞I understand what you mean, but you’re using the wrong words by mentioning buyer requests and creating confusion.Fiverr need to take Buyer Requests out of the equationBuyer requests are not part of response rate. If someone bypasses the usual process and sends you a direct message then it’s not a standard offer to a buyer request.Let’s make it simpleWhatever offers you receive through buyer requests section don’t need to be answered.Direct messages from users need a response to the first message within 24h no matter what the content is.

realviews4u Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 (post withdrawn by author, will be automatically deleted in 24 hours unless flagged)Well done on the Hulu deal. I hope you get your rewards man.But, yes, those spam messages can really do your response rate damage. There is a heck of a lot more to Fiverr than meets the eye.It is not explained well, you just kinda stumble upon these idiosyncrasies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realviews4u Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 To be clear for the newbies reading this. Since the thread got a bit unclear from zealous input.I am talking about creating a buyers request. The sellers respond to your request right there. This does NOT affect your response rate.But some are clever and find your profile and message you directly. THAT is what I am talking about. You MUST respond to those or your response rate will go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
