Unable to Create 4th Gig

[mzaryab_rafique]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to create a new gig on Fiverr, but I'm getting an error message saying "You can create a maximum of 4 Gigs". I currently have 3 published gigs.

Can anyone advise on how to create a 4th gig? Is there a way to increase the seller limit, or do I need to delete one of my existing gigs?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi too

Any gig in Paused/Drafts mode? If there is, then delete that gig and create 4th gig. And as a new seller/Level 0, you are allowed to create 4 gigs so you cannot increase limit. It will be increased once you reached Level 1 (10 active gigs allowed).

I have the same opinion about this. I think you have either a paused gig or a gig that is in draft mode. You must delete that gig which is paused or in draft. Only after that you can create your 4th gig.

You can find your paused/draft gigs from this link: https://www.fiverr.com/users/[username]/manage_gigs - Use your username in the URL.

Thank you.

Hi @mzaryab_rafique, I've just checked your account and sadly I'm unable to locate the issue from my end. Please contact our Customer Support team to look into your account. You can fill in the form here or send an email to support@fiverr.com. Let me just mention that there's been a high volume of new tickets for some time now, so it might take them a bit longer to get back to you.

Thanks for your patience in advance ☺️

@ana_tomy Possible to check her case? And then guide her please. Thank you.

Same issue is in my account, no gig in draft and paused

Hi there,
I had 3 gigs, No gig is pending, paused, or drafted. Now I deleted 1 gig and trying to create a new one but it's saying you can create a maximum of 4 gigs.

HI @muhammaadilyas, I've just checked your account and I see that you have 2 active gigs, 2 paused gigs due to inactivity, and 3 deleted gigs. If you need help with unpausing the gigs, feel free to contact our Customer Support team. Hope this helps and good luck 🍀

[muhammaadilyas]

I don't have any paused gigs.

[ana_tomy]

They are paused by the system, since there were no activities and no placed orders. Since you're unable to see them from your end, please contact the Customer Support team, and they'll help out.

[muhammaadilyas]

ok, Thanks a lot.

This is the solution. I used to have the same problem.

Just add a username. Check if you have a username or not.

Its a Fiverr update

[trust_coder1]

Now I have no level. so, I want to create another gig. but I see "You can create a maximum of 4 Gigs." 4 Gigs enough for me. but I have only 2 Gigs, i cannot create new gigs. why?

It's a glitch in the website. Your hidden gig is in paused.

You have to contact fiverr support to fix it for you. After that, you can delete it.

I wasn’t asked about the nickname what you are asserting here to be mandatory while making my gig and profile details. Probably because of I filled in my full name, first name and the last name . Thanks for your perspective.

Why can't Fiverr allow us to make as many Gigs as we want, but we can only have a maximum of 4 gigs active at a time. What do you think of the Idea?

[ayesha4]

Exciting Update! 🎉 After facing an issue for 8 months where I couldn't create my 4th gig despite being at Level 0, I finally got it resolved thanks to Fiverr customer support. Turns out, one of my gigs was invisible! They've fixed the bug, and now I'm ready to create a new gig of presentation. Stay tuned for more amazing services! 🙌✨"

Feel free to tweak it if you need! 😊

[jbjb1029]

It's kind of frustrating that I can only have 4 Gigs at a Time, and you have to delete one to create a new Gig, meaning you have to lose all that information you put into that Gig you have to Delete to create a new one, so I had a solution for that problem and would like your feedback on it:

You can create an unlimited number of Gigs, but you can have only 4 Gigs active at a time.

 

So, what do you think of the Solution to the Problem?

[uk1000]

It's a good idea to have it be lot less limited in the amount seller can create. It's also bad for level 2 sellers as it is now who can have no more than level 1 sellers have now (despite them being able to have 20 active gigs before).

Fiverr used to allow 7 active gigs for unlevelled sellers and I'm not sure only 4 active is a good idea either. It could be increased if they're okay gigs.

The help pages used to say the limit was in the number of active gigs (it didn't used to say just "gigs") but Fiverr still counted the total number (at least for unlevelled sellers).

Having an unlimited number of gigs allowed per seller (but about 4 active gigs allowed) might make it harder for staff to check them all and they could start taking lots of space (though they're only text for most parts of them, except the galleries etc.). So they could have a high enough limit on the number of gigs people could create and keep even if they wanted less to be active, eg. maybe 40 gigs total would be enough for every seller (or a bit more for those who are TRS and have about 30 active gigs).

But what about the marketplace clutter so many gigs would create?

Also, a lot of pre-2024 sellers have slyly retained their 7 gigs for the sake of it and this count keeps growing with thousands of new accounts every month. 

A good solution can be an AI system which checks the quality of gigs and ONLY allows quality gigs to compete in the marketplace. People can create more gigs and may be they can learn on the go but only QC-approved gigs should be allowed to compete in the marketplace. 

At the moment, we have 1000s of gigs that use Fiverr Logo/Pro branding on their gig images along with images of celebrities/C-level executives on LinkedIn/YouTubers and what not.

You can simply take screenshots and save them in a dedicated folder. You can also copy and save the text in a doc file, before deleting a gig.

I was mostly talking about increasing the maximum gigs allowed per seller to about 40 while also keeping the maximum active gigs at a similar amount to now (though I do think the reduction from 7 to 4 gigs active gigs max for level 0 and from 20 to 10 active gigs max for level 2 is unfair/not a good idea). So there wouldn't be much more clutter in the marketplace if there weren't more/many more gigs active at any one time (other than from brand new sellers joining, increasing the total in the marketplace).

Like the OP is talking about it would prevent the need to delete one gig to be able to create a new one (mostly, depending on the max gigs).

Also Fiver only shows up to about 20 pages of search results even if there are more than that, but having more gigs (including more active ones) will allow more chance of gigs that are more relevant to what the buyer is searching for.

Yes in theory Fiverr could use AI to only allow gigs above a certain quality threshold to be shown in the marketplace/search results. Though they could also just make the ones they think are higher quality shown in the top results (like they probably do now), ie. have it ranked with quality as one of the main factors. Buyers might ask for a specific service from a seller, knowing they can do that as maybe they were shown a sample/something similar from them but the seller doesn't have a gig specific for that and can't create one without deleting one of their other gigs currently if they're at the max but maybe they'd be able to create that gig for that specific service if the system allowed more max gigs (even if not more max active gigs).

It would also probably be harder to train the AI for what's a high quality vs low quality gig if the system has less data to train with (if most sellers can create only up to 4 gigs max they won't have as much training data).

With less gigs sellers will also not be able to see as clearly what works and what well and what doesn't (eg. if they do multiple things in one gig that could have been split into 2 or more gigs for more specific tasks. With the gigs split to more specific tasks they could see which of theirs is more profitable and which gets better scores from buyers more easily).

Fiverr could also make the way of creating new gigs quicker and easier. Also if Fiverr don't want to increase the max total gigs they could allow an option for a seller to export their gig to a local file/files and then re-import it back again if needed (but Fiverr's system of checking for non-original images might need to be changed to not flag the restored gig images if they already exist on the internet. The same for any duplicate text checkers if Fiver have those). They could also allow that for backups in case a seller deletes a gig by mistake.

Why is Fiverr not allowing you to create more than 5 gigs? Do past deleted gigs also count in the overall total of 10? Has anyone else faced this issue?

Maybe they count deleted gigs as well

It shouldn't be though. You could contact CS and they should be able to fix it. They'll probably just fix something on your account (rather than fixing the cause I expect). If you only just deleted the others maybe it could take a bit of time/is a cache thing. If not CS should be able to help.

Though like it says on that other thread, if you didn't log in for ages (like months) maybe it's paused some that you can't see, and asking CS might fix that.
