priyank_mod Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 7 hours ago, nesenili said: I got 10 success scores, %100 response rate, and 5 legit stars. All my ratings are 5 stars - I've never even gotten 4 stars before. And suddenly I saw my rating became 4.9 stars... I mean I worked so hard for this. I did my best! They are actually incorporating parameters from 'private reviews' which weren't really 5-star for all of us, to bring down the overall PUBLIC ratings. We can call it unfair for sure. But it seems like 'quality/value of our delivery' was always affecting the buyer satisfaction score and NOW it will impact everything we do!! 🥲 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him I thought this was related to the "new, adjusted score" that Fiverr was mentioning. So he could come back and say it was related to that (and just leave it as-is). ...And the agent did come back to say he was wrong and this change was related to this new, adjusted score. At least I can now see what my average ratings look like with the private reviews factored in. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingpirux Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 only one job in the last month: but my score will go down: reasons? of course none, just pure pain in the ass because fiverr is about that, suffering. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalitsdmittal Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I thought I was the only one... My rating went down from 5 to 4.9 even the rating break down is the same as old one 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashradio Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) I can confirm this has happened to me as well. I haven't received a single review below five stars for the past year or so, yet I'm down to 4.9 today for no apparant reason. I thought I'd care, but I don't. 😅 Since then, I found out that includes my private ratings, which is fine with me. But then why is my success score 10? This is what annoys me: they talk about transparancy, but one could almost believe they're doing everything they can to confuse us instead. I find it part hilarious, part stupid. Mostly stupid. With a dash of corporate slime. Edited March 7 by smashradio 6 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeus777 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Yeah~~! My rates went down to 4.9 too, NOW I don't feel left out LOL. Jokes aside, whatever is going on with Fiverr I ain't that surprised anymore, but I wonder where in the heck is this all headed, adding all of these ( meanigless...?) new stuff?? 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptwee Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Same here. My rate went from 5 to 4.9. @vickiespencer If you can kindly screenshot the 5 metrics for me, I would very much appreciate it. I can only see 3 from my end. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vibronx Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) The new rating breakdown/system is unfair to lower-volume (or newer sellers) as those who have gotten thousands of reviews prior to private feedback being a thing won't be as affected. This is supported by the fact that I saw a seller with thousands of reviews maintain their 4.9 rating in the new rating breakdown, even though if you calculated a simple average of the five review metrics, they should have ended up with a 4.7 rating. Another example is a seller who has a 4.7 rating but should have ended up with a 4.5 rating. (Not referring to anybody in this thread, btw. I got sent a few other ratings privately.)

Here's where I'm basing the info off of. https://help.fiverr.com/hc/en-us/articles/21965360854673-Success-score To be clear I kinda hate this as I think having more orders should offer a a kind of buffer since our numbers we assume are just being taken and divided to get an average.

Yet I am being told my success score is no longer at level 2 level because of private reviews. So it docks my reviews by .1 however I dropped to a level 0... All I can do is laugh. I legit got a fiverrs choice award order yesterday. Guess a success score of 4 is deserving of that LOL!

the_arif Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 23 hours ago, zerlina84 said: Mathematically, you can't have 5 if there's at least a 4.9 in the metrics... that's why... I really hope they add the decimals so it can be at least a little bit more fair. Edit: I mean, I was never good at maths, but this is correct, right? Come to think of it, it's incredibly sad, because it means we will NEVER be 5 ever again 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
