Users asking for Zoom calls

[stefanyoshovski]

I have had many potential clients and actual buyers who has been asking me for a Zoom call.
I explain that it’s against the ToS, but some of them keep saying that they have done calls in the past.
Do you think it will be a nice idea if fiverr implemented a call function and will they ever do that?

The main reason that Fiverr is reluctant in letting sellers contact buyers from the outside is because they fear that the sellers would strike a deal under the table, bypassing Fiverr’s platform.

In your case, if a zoom call is required in your service… Drop Fiverr support a message explaining how zoom calling is essential to your service. They might or might not allow this. It all comes down to how convincing is your pitch.

Good for you for not caving. Saying ‘no’ is exactly the right thing to do.

will they ever do that?

I doubt it. Fiverr is already free-to-join with no barrier to entry. A call system would be rife for abuse.

Yes, it would be a nice idea but I understand the reluctance. It would be a huge drop of revenue for Fiverr since so many people would abuse it. Which would lead to them charging sellers. So personally I would rather keep it free to sell than pay to have zoom calls.
