arnukas Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hey everyone!I am pretty sure that’s a bug, but if not, sorry about it. Anyways, today I found an interesting bug! We can now message ourselves through new contact button from buyer page.If you are a Seller, you could go to your Active Gigs, clicking preview. This will redirect you to the Buyer’s preview page (what buyer see as a customer). Next to the package selections (Basic, Standard and Premium), you will see a button “Contact”. By clicking it, it will show that you have to type something to send message to a Seller (as a buyer). After that, you can click send and it will redirect you to inbox. And that’s it! You can now chat with yourself!The problem about it is, that some low response time Sellers could higher their response time by doing that, messaging to themselves!Ideas? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blavaro Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I did not try it but it would be a bug of course that would likely cause cheating with seller rating. Have you reported it officially?@wp_kid Is this correct that chatting between ourselves (me = Buyer, me = Seller) is possible and allowed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenasemenkova Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Don’t touch that. We had someone nearly losing an account over this bug because they wanted to “see what happens”. According to them, they only managed to got it back because CS acknowledged it was either a bug or a design oversight of some sort. If someone has a link to that post, it’d be great if they posted it here. I can’t find it.I’d love to message myself that I was the best every once and a while. 🙂 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the beginning of April. I used “Preview Public Mode” to see how my profile would look like to the client, there I found a button called “Get a Quote”. Curiously I pressed it, filled up a request file to myself for a logo. Then I went to check my inbox, the message I sent to myself. Without replying to myself I deleted the conversation. The next day, my response rate went down to 50%…. Generally I was fraustrated so I asked for help on forum and no one had any idea.

misscrystal Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 This is quite a development. If you message yourself be sure to reply.I wonder how that would work. Would you be able to have a running conversation in your inbox with yourself? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blavaro Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 It seems it is technically possible. I am not the one who tries it. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humanissocial Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Don’t touch that.Am I in trouble now?I don’t know but Fiverr can’t tell who is experimenting with it to see what happens and who is trying to commit click and ratings fraud.So I wouldn’t be surprised if they are hard on people who have sent messages to themselves regardless of their explanation.I imagine it’s an oversight in the system and they’ll prevent people from doing this in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenasemenkova Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Don’t touch that.Am I in trouble now?I was a bit dramatic and the previous user who did it got off easy.I think fiverr is aware about the issue at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

english_voice Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I’m wondering if that makes it technically possible to scam yourself?!You know. Order a gig from yourself, message yourself and change the requirements of the order a few times just to annoy yourself, praise yourself for all the amazing samples you’ve provided yourself for free, and then cancel your own order at the point of delivery?For anyone who thinks I’m being serious… I’m not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanjiljishad Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 You should report it to fiverr support. I think it would not be a wise decision to use this bug to improve your response rate ratio. That would be cheating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
