razakhalid007 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Warning states “We ask that you do not try to manipulate or find workarounds to ‘trick’ our system. This is improper behavior and a violation of our [Terms of Service].”I am using up-work platform on same browser, is this warning because of that?

markhallva Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 No, there has to be more to it than that.Were you talking about that other platform with a buyer? Looks like you were trying to communicate off-site, by that message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you were trying to communicate off-site, by that message.A buyer preferred to talk with me on his w-app and shared his number, we communicated there.I didn’t asked about his number, but he was comfortable on w-app but we are proceeding orders on fiverr.

You should also avoid asking for reviews or feedback - that’s not allowed either. Fiverr.com Fiverr's Terms of ServiceOne marketplace, millions of professional services. Browse. Buy. Done. If a buyer does ask you to talk to them via another platform, tell them you can’t as it’s against ToS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a big no no on fiverr. They want all the money from clients to themselves. If you take them of the platform you are compromising their business model and taking profits of the site. If everyone did this they would effectively be wasting millions on marketing. Because they would be losing the 20% they get from your order from sales outside the platform. They bring buyers to your gig so they can get their cut. If they bring buyers to your gig for you to go outside the platform with them, then they are wasting time, money and resources for nothing.I’m certain your intention wasn’t to do sales off fiverr but they have to strictly enforce this to avoid any risk of it happening at all. If you were fiverr you’d do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
