Fiverr started adding their own questions to orders..

I just received an order and it seems that aside from my own questions I ask clients, Fiverr started adding in their own questions as well.

I am not sure how I feel about this.. On one hand it might share some relevant info. But at least for the gig that was purchased, these questions have nothing to do with it. This seems just an extra step for clients and I am sure many will skip it. This buyer certainly did..

Interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about this either. If the questions don't pertain to the order specifically or if they're written in a way that doesn't align with the seller's business or communication style, this would make the gig look worse. I haven't seen this yet, but will definitely keep an eye out.

I think maybe they should be optional, I mean, you can ask from your own custom requirements and sometimes even those aren't filled by the buyers (in my case is because we already talk it through so they prefer to refer to the chat).

Maybe in some fields these are more relevant? I've seen some posts where there are talks about verying the price of a gig depending where its going to be used.

Hm, I'm pretty sure we've discussed this on the forum before, anyone? Or I may have answered those when I bought a Gig myself. Maybe it's random, or they do it by rota, like towards the end of a year, or every x years or so, it might be data for their communication about current trends, or for trend prediction.

I don't know.. I didn't find any topic on this, and I just saw the feature added on the seller side of things.

I could swear I remember those 3 questions having been a topic already. Doesn't matter much, either way, if nothing comes up with search, at least not easily, I tried searching as well, maybe it's too buried, unsearchable, or old, or we're searching not well enough, I was just wondering if it's really something new. But maybe I just mixed something up, or had a prophetic dream 🙂

That makes sense. Fiverr recently offered a report listing current trends.

I checked your forum profile. You should be elected the president of this fiverr forum and community. Just joking lol.😆
