I'm relocated - Location

I Was in Pakistan When I created my Fiverr account, now I am in UAE. Should I request to change my location? Can it affect my profile in any way?

Hi,

If you have moved to a different country and your location has changed, it is generally recommended to update your location on your Fiverr account. This helps ensure accurate information and prevents any potential issues related to geolocation or payment processing.

Here are a few important points to consider:

Geolocation and Local Search: Fiverr uses geolocation to match buyers with sellers in their local area or preferred location. Updating your location will ensure that you appear in relevant search results for your current country, potentially increasing your visibility to local buyers.

Payment and Withdrawal: Fiverr's payment and withdrawal methods may vary depending on your location. By updating your location, you can access the appropriate payment options available in the UAE and avoid any potential issues with receiving or withdrawing funds.

Account Verification: Fiverr may require identity verification when changing your location or updating personal information. This is a standard procedure to ensure the security and legitimacy of accounts.

Profile and Gig Impact: Changing your location should not directly impact your profile or gigs. However, it's essential to review and update any location-specific information in your profile or gig descriptions to accurately reflect your current location.

To request a location change on Fiverr, you can reach out to their customer support team. Provide them with the necessary details and documentation, if required, to update your account information.

Remember to make any necessary adjustments to your profile, gig descriptions, and relevant settings to ensure consistency with your new location. This will help maintain transparency and accuracy in your Fiverr profile and avoid any potential complications related to location discrepancies.

It's important to change your location if you are hiring. For instance I lived in Mexico for a few years, I am back in the USA. The exchange rate to pay for services is much higher than it should be as I am paying from the USA. I would pay more, then get charged exchange rates on top of that on my credit card.
