If buyer doesnt leave a review,what does it imply?

Hi.I have been working on fiverr for 1 and half months now.Most of my buyer left a review, but four or five buyers didnt leave one.Does it imply that they were unsatisfied?

It could mean unsatisfied but nice, just busy, didn’t want to figure out how to review or several more possibilities. I wouldn’t worry about it. I’ll take no review over negative any day!

Reply to @fonthaunt: haha yeh i have been thankful as well, that even if they were unsatisfied, they were nice enough to not leave a negative review.

Not necessarily! I think it usually means one of two things:

1. the buyer didn’t have time to/didn’t feel like leaving a review. Some people just don’t leave reviews–it’s not their style. Others really just want to download their product and get back to work, and don’t leave a review because it slows them down. I’m pretty sure this is the case with the majority of buyers. People are more motivated to leave a review if they’ve had a bad experience than if they’ve had a good one, I think.
   
   
2. they buyer is unsatisfied or less than satisfied, but doesn’t want to leave a negative review because they probably don’t think it’s that big of a deal; i.e., not getting a 100% perfect or a not-exactly-what-they-wanted-but-still-pretty-good-definitely-usable article for $5 isn’t “bad enough” to worry about leaving a review.
   
   
   
   Whenever I’ve asked a buyer why they didn’t leave a rating, they almost always say that they just don’t like leaving reviews, that the review process is kind of long and complicated, or that they aren’t even sure how to leave a review. Now, I don’t ask very often and I never ask about reviews unless I’m 100% sure that that buyer would give me a great review if prodded, so that sampling is pretty small, but it’s all the data I’ve got. So there.

Reply to @emasonwrites: Thanks for the detailed explanation.This probably settles it.I will just assume that my buyer were too busy to leave a review.
