agenciawem Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Here's just a tip for newbies, messages that are flagged as "spam" by Fiverr, are not always really spam. I got two cases now, that was real buyers, wich i decided to worked with and everthing goes great, even with mutual 5 stars rates. I guess Fiverr just flagged like spam to anyone who sends the same message to many sellers, but that doesn't make you neccesary an spammer. My advice is to verify the profile of the buyer. If he have some recent good rates, is most probably not an spammer. I neither don't like that fiverr doesn't show me these messages in the desktop (they automatically sent to spam trash and delete the notification), i've only noticed their existance trough the alerts in the app; if i hadn't, i might have lost some good chances of work. Nice day. 29 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice day. Indeed. You should check your spam folder regularly, but keep in mind, if you unmark a spam message that's more than 24 hours old, it will affect your response rate, since it took you more than 24 hours to respond to it! So be careful guys! I've made that mistake with a 2 months old message, and that was my primer to never overlook my spam folder again. 20 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashradio Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Just now, agenciawem said: Thanks! Now i understand why my response rate suddendly drop 😅 Haha. Yeah. Tough lesson! Better to ignore the message if its old, even if it is a real buyer, because 1) they would have likely found someone else by now, and 2) it will kill your response rate. 19 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your buyer is unwilling to do this, then you should mark the buyer as spam to block them: 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a message in my spam folder on the mobile app. I checked the buyer rating was excellent and he was giving orders to many freelancers. Now I couldn't unmark his message but it was not in chat. I am sending him messages but not getting any reply. Please guide what I should do it was my 1st order. Looking for your kind response. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
