esodot Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Does the response rate algorithm considering the fact of time difference between buyers and sellers location? Simple use case: My response rate is decreasing when i get messages at night (Germany) from USA people (time difference 9 - 12 hours). So its kind of frustrating for me, because i need sleep!Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruslancer Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Same here. It doesn’t consider time difference as I noticed.I’m trying to do the best possible. I think no need to worry about that at all… the rate is updating after a while. Maybe one day it is 99% and the next day 100 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esodot Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 The point is that it should show the buyer how reliable the seller answers the messages. But it lead to misunderstanding, buyers with large time difference to my location would stay away, thinking i’m lazy or so --> there i’m sleeping 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belengarcia Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I think that Fiverr only counts the number of hours, regardless of the time zone.When I get a message my phone vibrates, so I wake up, if it’s spam I click report, if not I answer, and then go back to sleep. It’s not a problem for me as I don’t get that many messages. My Response Rate is 100%.Anyway, I don’t think that number affects us that much.

ruslancer Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 My response rate is also 100%, maybe during all period it fell to 99% couple of times. But I would never wake up just because of some message on fiverr 🙂 Always respond to everybody in the morning and no problem.Reply to @esodot: don’t worry, maybe one of 10 will think something of the kind. When I loose a buyer out of any reason I don’t worry… the world is big you will find those who will ask first what timezone you have so they don’t bother you at night 🙂 I have such customers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
