duncansvoices Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Hey Fiverr freelancers,Would it be ethical to have my friends buy a few gigs from me just to get me some sales and reviews? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visualstudios Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 If the orders are legit (they would buy your services off the platform otherwise), there should be no problem. If they are creating fake orders, it’s highly questionable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk1000 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 You need to be careful of the bit in the terms of service that says:To prevent any misuse of our Feedback system, all feedback reviews must come from legitimate sales executed exclusively through the Fiverr platform from users within our Community. Purchases arranged, determined to artificially enhance Seller ratings, or to abuse the Fiverr platform with purchases from additional accounts, will result in a permanent suspension of all related accounts.If you’re asking your friends to buy and doing it for the reviews maybe that would be classed as arranged? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can be considered manipulation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
