uk1000 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Limit the orders in the queue setting for that gig or put a gig on pause or increase the delivery times of your gigs/gig packages.You can also ask for a delivery extension for current orders if necessary. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanshuber16 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Hi,Have you tried using either the “limit orders in queue” option or the “pause” option or the “out of office” option when you got too busy?If not, you could consider using these options. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gig_freak Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Alicia, once upon a time I had the problem that you had, but it was not due to the number of orders, but due to the things going on in my life, like college, internship (more like a day job), hobby time, and sport activities. All of that lead to a overworking stress, which is terrible.I dealt with those problems by extending my delivery time, deleting the option for one-day delivery, and raising my prices a bit. It is possible to hurt your sales, but you would be able to manage your time better. It took me around 5 months to gain back Level 2 badge. Nothing to be worried about, just try to fix things as soon as possible, so it won’t lead to different and more serious problems.I hope that this can help to you and to other sellers. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, they’ve only gone up. 😦 I don’t really want to resort to using the “limit orders in queue” option or the “OOO” option… cuz I am worried it might affect the current ranking of my gig. Oh well…Do you think it wouldn’t affect my gig rankings too much if I used the limit orders in queue option? Your feedback would be much appreciated… And, I think the OP might benefit from the answer to this question, too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocks_design Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 You can extend your deliver time to manager your orders when busy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheyennewriter Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 You can always edit the delivery days in your gigs. Make them a bit longer. That’s what I’ve done. Sometimes things get a little wild and you get overwhelmed. Take it easy 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samanthamcnesby Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 If you are getting too many orders, your price may be too low - adjusting it upwards will slow the flow a bit and allow you to focus on the orders you do get (and make more per piece). For any product or service " too many" sales may be indicative of a pricing issue. Correcting this will increase your income and decrease the amount of orders you have to juggle, so the end result should be a positive one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epiphanyanimati Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 RAISE YOUR PRICES!This way you can get the same, if not more money, for the amount of work you do. And by raising the price you will (most likely get a lower amount of customers). Keep raising the price until you like the amount of orders you are getting. Lower the price when you want more orders. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naikoosuhaib Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 You can outsource the work. If you are not okay with it try to either put yourself “Out of office” however this causes issue that your gig might get outranked so its not a good option to use always.So, in my opinion its better to “Raise your price” This is give you less orders but your earning will be almost same what you earned from bulk of orders. By this way your gig ranking also will not be affected. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
