samueljohnson4 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I am a new seller and I am a high school student. I was wondering if posting a picture of me as well as mentioning that I am a student is hurting my chances of selling, because a lot of the sellers in other categories are adults.However, I am also worried about not saying that because then I’m not sure how to explain the lack of a degree and other certain things. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiler3d Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Remembering you’re a younger person, you’re using your full name and photograph as well presumably, it’s going to be all too easy for anyone to track you down, online or IRL - not threatening to do it BTW - just from an internet safety POV. 😉If no-one needs to know your age or the fact you’re in college, why tell them? 🙂BTW - you’ve got a gig which mentions essays - please remove that for your own sake.https://www.fiverr.com/terms_of_service 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can change the photo, but I can’t seem to change the username…is that permanent?Also, does the photo have to be of me? Can I use a copyright-free photo or do I have to take it or make it myself? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t want to use your real name, you can speak to CS and they’ll help you open a new account which you can name anything you like.You need to use an image which is unique - whether it’s of you or not. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherkhanshani Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 The only thing matter here is your skills. I remember one specific 3D workshop where my teacher was saying that studios like to hire younger artist and Yes, there was so much debate but the point is your skill matters the most. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misscrystal Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 @smiler3dI was wondering if you know if I delete my account if I will be able to attach my phone number to another account?@samueljohnson4 Regarding your name being used as your fiverr ID, you have a name that is probably shared with thousands of people in the US and the world so I don’t think anyone could find you from that. Both your first name and especially last name are so common I would’t worry about that.You can try searching on your name in google and will find thousands of those with your name all over the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young people like you who get out there to think and do stuff to earn money just inspire me.DO NOT break the rules…work within the system and you will be fine. This may be one of the best proving grounds.All the best! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
