Helpful to use your buyer account when starting as a seller?

[robbyhart]

Have bought from Fiverr quite a bit, and going to become a seller.  I'm wondering whether to deactivate my previous account and make a new one.  Mainly the concern is not being able to change the username.  

 

However, I do have a lot of positive reviews as a buyer on the platform.  Will that help me as a new seller, or is that not visible to the buyer?  Thanks all!!  🙂

There is no need to deactivate your Buyer account. One of the great things about Fiverr is that every person can switch their account between Buyer/Seller and vice versa. Also, all those great reviews you received as a Buyer can only be seen as a plus. As a Seller, you have the option to change their display name. Please find more information about it here How do I change my email or username?

Hope this helps.
