alinahu Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hello dear friends. I am just two days old. Yesterday I got a message from a guy asking me to contact him via email, his message looked really suspicious and I decided to delete it without replying. Then he sent me the same message again which I deleted too. Today I noticed that my Response rate lowered to 33%! Should I reply to all such inappropriate messages? How this will affect my reputation? Can it be changed? Hope this would help you to avoid the same experience! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carriecreative Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 When someone sends me a message with something that seems suspicious, like asking to contact via email, I politely respond that it is against fiverr’s TOS to provide my email, and that I prefer to work through fiverr. That way your response rate won’t drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy_krizpy Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 so, if you replay my email and i re-replay and you re-re-replay it might raise our response rate… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonthaunt Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Reply to @sammy_krizpy: No. Only the first reply matters. Going back and forth does nothing. If it helps any, response rate isn’t used for anything right now as far as I know, no one but you can see it and it doesn’t affect you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhwoolz Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 @carriecreative’s idea is a really good one. If you don’t feel comfortable replying, you can also click the “report” button in the lower right-hand corner of a message. This will report it to Customer Support, and I’m pretty sure it means the message won’t count towards your response rate.I wouldn’t worry too much about your response rate being 33% right now. You’re only just getting started, so as you reply to more messages, it will go up really quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovenish Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Only first response matters. You can contact Customer Support only they can help you.I also faced same situation few days back and i described everything to Customer Support and now my response rate is 100% 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishanggoro Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Interaction and transaction through Fiverr are a matter of ethics. We all are community that should respect each other, including respect the system and rule built by the Fiverr. Making a transaction through email or other ways outside the Fiverr is unethical if both parties started it through the Fiverr. So, let’s be honest, ethical, and professional.

fonthaunt Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Reply to @robin1991: No, it does not help. Also, requests for favorites are consifered spam in this forum category. Hijacking threads on other topics is also disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaidov Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hello,Just wanted to share with you my auto-response for all of annoying for us spam advertisers proposing their services:“Hello,This annoying spam is not the way to get sales here at fiverr, believe me - even if I’d like to use similiar services, you will now be the last person I would choose to hire.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
