That's a horrible story, not only did they kick the stool under your feet away, they also don't even implement their own system correctly. 

Why on earth do you have 8, 8, 8, 8 for all your categories, but not "officially" a success score of 8? Shows you how messed up that is. It should be straight forward; From all the available categories, you should get an average score, and then act on that. If it's 7 or above; You go up a level, if it's under 7, you stay, if it's under 6 you rank down even further. 


And 8 is definitely above 7! You should have been moved up a level at the very least, if they don't even rank you properly. I have been struggling with ranking, but basically everyone is complaining about that on fiverr and there are so many reasons for why you're not ranking well. But the success score works against the way they advertised it! 
Why even bother with the success score and all those numbers when they obviously mean diddly squat?

There are way too many hidden statistics and algorithms at play, way more than necessary!

It's best to diversify, you're very right. I have started looking into other platforms to sell my services, too. 

They just did promoted me to a Level 2 seller, but still there is no work coming. I have moved to other platforms and i am earning good there. Fiverr is literally dead for me.

  omg u earned $1720 in December ...but..I earned $28 + $4 tip 🤣😭!  I started in 2015 and I remember the good years and good earnings. I was also a participant in a system similar to Fiver Pro, which later did not meet the requirements because of a Crazy Client 😭👺  and they took away my access to that special place where you could set high prices where clients bought the services 😶....    Now how do I survive? Well, thank God for the good relationship I had with clients, but they don't come every day. And I also met good friends from Pakistan and they send me orders 🙏

Yeah $1720 is nothing when your expenses are $2000+ per month. But i am glad i joined other platforms and explored more opportunities, i have some old client base as well, so i am doing okay for now.

You did have a bad review within the past 6 months, and since you're not a high volume seller, and not everyone leaves private reviews, it's clear why you have this problem. That bad review has a major negative impact. 

The problem started around February, long before the bad review happened, the month before that review I had 0 sales for the first time since 2018

Fiverr compares you with other sellers in your category. And since you had no sales and then a bad review, you can see where the issue stems from.

Leaving that aside, you're already making more than most sellers here at $1700 a month. So how is it dead to you? When a lot of other people are earning way less. It's definitely not dead, if it would be dead, it would be 0.

And fiverr can't get away with saying "New orders affect your success score more and that success score will stay mostly stable". Good for those who are already TRS, bad for those who got demoted and now can't level up their success score because they are not getting enough orders in the first place.

It doesn't matter if you are TRS or any other level. You do good work and don't encounter problems, you should mostly be fine. I say mostly because there are bad buyers that will leave a great review publicly and burry you in private reviews. And you won't have a clue because all your public reviews are great.

Private feedback is fine, as long as people are truthful. One reason why they made it this way is because there's a limited amount of time for buyers to leave a private review. As far as I saw, private reviews can be left even a month after the fact, or less, not sure, but there's more time for you as a buyer to express your opinion. Guess why: tons of SEO services (and not only) scammed people saying rate my service now, you'll see results in a month. The review period is over, the seller receives a great review, and the buyer gets pretty much scammed.

$1720 was not my december's earnings. I don't know why fiverr showed $1720 in my december's earnings. I have attached another screenshot where you can see that Decemebr's earnings from my analytics is only $459.43. 

I used to earn approx $2400-$3800 on fiverr in some good months. Compared to that this is nothing. 

I have stopped getting orders since last week of November 2024, and it's January 16th today. Still no orders at all. 

It's not about how much i earn in those months, i used to have really great business on fiverr during 2018-2024 february. After that they launched this new seller system in march and my sales started to decline and they never got back up.

So basically that's why i blame the new level system.

Even still, this private feedback system is really not necessary in my opinion. I don't know why you keep on defending fiverr in all terms. Maybe because you are doing just fine and earning good money.

That's exactly when they launched the new level system. They keep on defending it by saying that it doesn't affect you at all or that these things were already there in their system but now it's visible to us so we can improve ourselves, that may be true but then why enable private reviews, why compare one seller's performance to other seller, why take 2 years of orders into consideration. This is what affected most of us sellers.

Fiverr compares you with other sellers in your category. And since you had no sales and then a bad review, you can see where the issue stems from. 

While the comparison is designed to help Fiverr reward high-performing sellers and ensure better experiences for buyers, it may not always provide a fair evaluation due to the subjective and situational nature of freelance work. Here's a breakdown of it:

Why the Comparison May Be Unfair

  1. Varying Project Complexity: Different types of projects require different delivery times. For example:

    • A simple one-page website might take a day or two.
    • A complex e-commerce site with custom functionalities may take weeks. Comparing delivery speeds without accounting for project complexity is inherently unfair.
  2. Client Behavior:

    • Some clients are demanding, request frequent revisions, or delay feedback, which can impact delivery time and seller ratings.
    • Sellers who accommodate such clients may appear slower or less efficient, despite working harder.
  3. Different Communication Styles:

    • Not all sellers need to communicate extensively to deliver quality work.
    • Overemphasizing communication metrics could disadvantage sellers who prefer a more streamlined approach but deliver excellent results.
  4. Private Reviews and Subjectivity:

    • Private reviews introduce bias since clients may leave conflicting public and private feedback.
    • Negative private reviews could be influenced by factors beyond the seller’s control, such as unrealistic expectations or misunderstandings.
  5. Pressure on Clients for Reviews:

    • Sellers may sometimes pressure clients into leaving positive public reviews. This creates a disparity between public and private feedback, skewing the evaluation.

 

How the Comparison Could Be Made Fair

  1. Segment Comparisons by Project Type:

    • Group sellers by the types of projects they work on (e.g., simple landing pages vs. complex e-commerce sites).
    • Create benchmarks for each category rather than comparing all sellers in the same niche.
  2. Adjust for Context:

    • Use AI to analyze order details, client requests, and project scope to normalize metrics like delivery time and revisions.
    • Consider factors like client responsiveness and revision requests when evaluating performance.
  3. Separate Metrics for Communication and Quality:

    • Evaluate communication and delivery quality as separate, weighted metrics.
    • Ensure that sellers who deliver excellent work without excessive communication aren’t penalized.
  4. Weight Public Reviews More Than Private Reviews:

    • Public reviews should carry more weight since they are transparent.
    • Private reviews can be included but should be contextualized to avoid over-reliance on potentially biased feedback.
  5. Incorporate Client-Type Metrics:

    • Introduce a metric to account for “challenging clients.” For instance, track how many revisions or additional requests a seller accommodates.
  6. Transparency in Metrics:

    • Provide sellers with detailed breakdowns of how their performance is assessed and compared.
    • Allow them to contest or explain outlier situations, such as difficult clients or delayed feedback.

 

The current comparison system, as described, risks penalizing sellers who deliver excellent work under challenging circumstances. A fairer system would involve segmenting comparisons, normalizing metrics based on context, and ensuring transparency in the evaluation process. Fiverr could also involve seller feedback in refining their level system to create a more balanced approach.

Thing is, if your niche is not doing ok getting clients, chances are that's the same issue for other sellers in your niche. So the way they differentiate sellers is based on their reviews and other metrics, obviously. So even if there is little to no demand, at the end of the day those that deliver a better service will stay ahead of others that don't. And as I said, there are other types of buyers too, which offer great reviews and then privately they will give you a bad private review. It happens for sure, because I was told by my success manager while some people offer the same private reviews, sometimes it can vary wildly. I had only 5 star reviews for a year and privately things were way different/worse.

Guess why? Because there are bad apples in the community and because of those scammers and maleficent people, everyone has to suffer. Just like in regular life. The platform is forced to take new measures and guess what.. they did.

I am objective. I made less than you did in that month when you said Fiverr is dead to you. And you're complaining, while I don't. The system is fine and it will reward those that deliver a good service. Yes, there will be bad buyers that will rate you randomly or with different ratings publicly and privately. You have to realize the truth, it's a business and just like businesses on Google rarely have over 4.7 star reviews, it's similar here. Fiverr wants to differentiate good sellers from excellent sellers. 

Before this private review system or the success score, almost everyone had 5 stars. Buyers were complaining here on the forum that it was hard to find the best service for them, since everyone was rated the same. They added the success score, private reviews, reviews for canceled orders in an effort to differentiate buyers. And as I said, my assumption is that your lack of impressions is due to private reviews not being the best when compared to others in your niche. You're also an agency and you have very high prices, so that alone brings less impressions. Plus, your niche is quite overwhelmed with developers. So there are a lot of factors. You also have very few orders monthly, so a bad review can end up affecting you way more when compared to others. 

I tried to help you with this info, but you push me to use AI.... Anyway, I am done replying to this. Continue blaming Fiverr if that's what you want, but realistically, it has to be one or more of your orders that caused a lack of exposure, due to bad metrics. I've been studying my ranking and search placement and I can spot when someone leaves a bad private review, because it instantly pushes me back 🙂

When i started saying this line "Ai isn't gonna replace all the jobs..." that's when my reply became for eevrybody else and not just for you. Yes i was still talking about AI from your previous comment but it's upto you if you believe me or not after this. I was literally giving the advice to all kinds of niches and to everyone, not ONLY you. So believe me or not but that's what my intention was. Later when you got mad i looked up your profile and realized that you are a content writer and why you don't like AI in your nice, understandable. But still it's nothing to get mad about and one shouldn't respond the way you did. It's not like i forced AI onto you or anybody else. You shouldn't come at people like that, i didn't know what your profession was or what you do when i was even writing that comment so why would i say to use AI in your work specifically to you.

Actually my niche is doing very great, i have attached a few screenshots from the marketplace in which you can see people have 10-36 orders in queue at a moment. So there are a great number of buyers in this field.

Pushed ? That's a big word, i have already answered above regarding this. I don't know what made you so angry about it, if you don't like using AI in your work that's totally fine man, i didn't know that and again you don't have to be so rude about it. 

Anyways i done blaming fiverr, but you can see so many fellow freelancers commented who have the same issue as me, i don't know about their order history or anything but all i can see is that these people were doing good before this new seller system came and they are not anymore.

I am now with Upwork and i already became Top Rated Seller there

So i don't care about fiverr anymore, i am doing good on upwork. That platform is literally the best thing ever happened to me. All jobs are equally available to bid for everyone and they don't have these comparison metrics like fiverr does.

Goodbye and good day to you 🙂

It doesn't what I sell. There are plenty of people in my niche that use AI and their customers are fine with it. I personally don't like using AI, but it can have its uses. The thing is, you have screenshots showing you're wrong and you're now backing out. But as said, let's move on. It doesn't matter and it's certainly off-topic.

Which proves what I said is right, others are getting more orders and reviews, you have less than them, so you're getting pushed back in search. Makes sense, and I can see why you're not ok with the success score system because of it. At least you're listed as an agency, there are others listed like a solo seller, and they are misguiding and lying customers, since they have a large number of people behind them. It's happening in the writing niche too, but it is what it is..  Fiverr can't force people to state they are an agency or not, they just have the option to do that voluntarily. Guess what, even Pro sellers say "I" will do X thing for you but in reality they outsource so..

For more expensive things, some buyers prefer that platform and not Fiverr, I assume due to lower fees on the seller and buyer's side.

I sent the screenshots, I think I made my point. Let's put it to rest. 

Thing is, people that have issues with the success score right now come and complain. They won't if they don't have any problem. I told you what would cause a lower success score, with the idea of helping you. I am not paid or anything here, I just try to help others, it's just unpaid, wasted time if you think about it. And getting the "go use AI" thing was rather.. sad. But you do you, go to UW if that's where you get better results. Thing is, you focused more on that platform, you have way less sales here and others surpassed you. Add to that any bad private reviews, and that answers your question why you have less work/impressions. But hey, hope you'll recover. Good luck and goodbye. I am done replying to this, as I said 🙂

I had to bring in money somehow if fiverr wasn't bringing in any sales to me. I have a family to feed, bills to pay just like everyone else, so i am okay with my decision.

 

Thanks! Good luck to you as well 🙂

Very well. The thing is, using multiple platforms is the right thing for any freelancer. You can't rely on a single platform. At one point, it will not be performing as well. And you will end up trying to figure out where to go next. If you use multiple platforms, there are less issues. 

But as I said, clearly if some in your field have tons of work and you don't, that means your metrics have to do with it, something happened. The problem is that we don't see private reviews so obviously it feels out of nowhere. But I can tell you after talking with my success manager, the answer is always in metrics, be it private reviews, cancellations, etc. That's what I was trying to explain to you all along. The success score system isn't perfect by any means, but it's definitely better than what we had before. Until now, we had no idea what affects the "buyer satisfaction rate" used to rank sellers. Now we can see what affects every gig, and we also have a score for the gig, which allows us to see how we compare to others. In my opinion, after 11 years of Fiverr, that's huge. You can see what to address per gig, be it reply faster due to communication issues, or you can see if buyers are unhappy/they left a bad review, etc.

Yeah you are right and i do agree with you, only that this new level system is still not perfect and it still has it's flaws which are affecting us sellers in many ways. Although i wouldn't say it hugely impacts it. But i wanna see what changes does fiverr make to the new level system in the future and if they take users feedback to fix things and make it even more better

You are still getting orders on Fiverr even it's dead for you? 2 reviews in 1 week. Still, you should be grateful for that!

So what if you have lost your TRS badge? I have been on Fiverr since 10+ years yet never made it to TRS but still I'm grateful and happy with being Level 2 seller. 

It's good that you have another source of income too.. so do I..

This new level system is perfect for us or not.. we still have to get used to it.. every single seller wanted to know about the private reviews even they raised a voice for it so Fiverr made a new system for that and we are now affected either in a bad way or a good way.

Definitely they will try to improve their system with the passage of time but meanwhile we all should get used to the current system. It's like "Their system, Their rules"!

Also, you are a Level 2 seller now so you can make it to TRS again if you do well. Good Luck!

P.S. Don't try to motivate others by shifting them to other platforms. If you don't want to stay here then don't discuss about other platforms here as well. 🙏

Pretty sure that was the idea. Before this system, almost everyone was level 2 and they had 4.9 or 5 stars, deterring buyers from making a purchase because it's hard to differentiate people that are excellent from those who curate their reviews and cance just to keep those 5 stars. So I can see why they did this, I definitely understand their motivation. 

The problem is that if they keep those private reviews, and they will, we will never know the full extent of the story behind why we have a lower succes score sometimes. However, they won't show everything behind the success score formula so... What we can do is adapt. I will say this, whenever I had a buyer that was unresponsive or they requested a revision or two, I always saw my gig drop in search results, so I can only assume there was a metric that ended up being lower. 

So yeah, it always has to do with performance and how the buyer perceived the order. The succes manager told me firsthand that even if I got 5 stars from a client, I did have a negative private review from such a person. Obviously they won't name specific people or orders. Not saying everyone does that, but some do, and it's definitely why that happens sometimes. It is what it is man.

Yeah sometimes buyers click that "Request a revision" button many times even for last minute small changes and i ask them why did they pressed that button for just one little change that they could have just messaged me and i would have done that. I think we should be more careful when to deliver a project. Only and only when the buyer says yes he is ready to accept the order we should deliver it while keeping in mind you don't ask for many extensions and deliver within the timeframe.

Freedom of speech! Don't tell me what i can or cannot do. People are smart enough to decide for themselves. Let's keep healthy discussions coming. 

Idk why people here get offended by the fact when someone suggests something.

You are still getting orders on Fiverr even it's dead for you? 2 reviews in 1 week. Still, you should be grateful for that!

 

Yes only 1-2 and that happened after a long wait. I guess it's not fully dead yet

So now you are changing your statement: After 6 years given to fiverr, $132K in earnings, Been a Top Rated Seller for straight 5 years, Fiverr is officially dead for me as a seller since they launched the new level system?

You stay here on the forum to vent your anger?
But then again, you refuse to leave Fiverr.

We have seen several similar sellers pass by on the forum. After a while, they disappear completely.

I can't deactivate my account, i can't leave fiverr. Even if it's dead or not dead, doesn't matter. I will always keep the account open even if i get 1-2 orders a month. But yeah compared to what i used to do here full time, it's dead for me. I said not fully dead because i might get occasional 1-2 orders sometimes, it might be from my old buyers or might be from promoted gigs.

I am here to stay as long as i keep getting some business from fiverr and who knows what happen in some months or a year ? Maybe i will start getting more orders ? I am not very hopeful with fiverr, it seems dead to me now as compared to what i used to earn before.

Call it what you want, i said what i said. I am here to vent out, tell my story or whatever.... i don't care how you guys take it. I just explained my situation here. Didn't asked for sympathy or anything. Just wanted this off my chest so i can breathe, because no one better than people on fiverr will understand what i went through. 
So you could say this is a way for me to let it all out..
