Buyers should also have ratings & reviews on their profile

[shane_alex]

As sellers it would be better to know with what kind of a person that we area doing business.



That will be a great help to enhance our services based on buyer reviews.



Thanks

Agreed… I asked once, if I could rate a buyer and customer service replied that I can write answer to the review the buyer left (my experience). It’s not the same thing… since nobody can see it in the buyers profile. If I could see what other sellers think about the buyer, if someone had bad experience with him… I wouldn’t even consider working with the person.

@shae_alex
Absolutely agreed with your observation. as it is most effective tool for seller and it is fair play, there is no harm in to show buyer feedback states with sellers.

[dusuacangmon]

agree, why seller got review and rate but buyer not?

[freelancemm]

I could have swore they said they implemented something like this, maybe they removed it shortly after? Hmmm. I’m all for it… but I am pretty sure they had it at some point and now it seems to be gone.

Reply to @freelancemm: I think you mean top buyer badge and answer to the review the buyer sent in the gig description. At least when I asked from cs they suggested me that review.

Reply to @kjblynx: Yeah, I thought I was going crazy for a second on that one. Haha! That’s rather unfortunate, it was a step in the right direction… and now a step back sigh

Reply to @freelancemm: well, maybe step back for sellers, but definately not for the fiverr

[imadou]

for me it’s the most important update that fiverr has to implement

kjblynx said: to see when a buyer last ordered something and how they rated their experience

^^ Agreed, this is very important!

I would love to have something like this in place. I just recently had 2 buyers that practically got free work out of me. Once their work is received (on time I might add) they immediately ask for it to be cancelled. No mention of a modification, nothing about what they didn’t like, just immediately asking for a refund. If I could’ve seen their ratings from other sellers, I would’ve cancelled from the very beginning before starting the job. Now, I practically wasted my time and they ended up with free work. As a seller, it’s very annoying.

Agreed. Thanks for posting this topic.

Oh sure…get real…when I go to a restaurant or a hair salon do they get a review of me?
no

we are the customers…if there were not so many scammers on here then maybe you would not have so many problems

[estymcmahon]

On review sites the business can not rate the buyer/customer/client. Yes, reviews are visable but the company can’t rate the customers.

I just had a guy sell me a theme he claimed he had rights to…
it was not the theme requested…in fact it was a free theme…complete with the ad up top and bottom…he is not not answering PM’s…

The funny thing here is that the sellers cry that we should not expect much for five dollars yet they want 5 star reviews. This guy also begged for 5 star when he sold me the free/fake LOL

I do not like the way when you open a dispute you get no feedback…no email, nothing…I think this got me more worked up. I see the guy online…he was bugging this afternoon…as soon as he delivered this piece of junk poof…he is online but won’t reply

You also have an American on here who blatantly says he will only have a fake $5 gig - he will refund it - just to be ok on terms. That is pretty bad IMHO

Clearly @esthmcmahon you haven’t bought more than 5 gigs, if you search around majority of the sellers are undervalued. If sellers were so horrible fiverr wouldn’t exist, people wouldn’t buy and no one would be here.
