Seller is paying 1$ for 5star reviews

[espumita]

What is wrong with people? There is a buyer’s request in the “virtual assistant” category where a seller offers to buy a 6$ gig IF you buy him a 5$ gig first and leave him a 5 star review. After he delivers his gig he will buy a 6$ gig to “return the favor”.
Just a way to obtain 5 star reviews paying 1$ for them. I don’t think tha’ts fair for all the hard working seller here on Fiverr.

Here’s what he wrote:
“I need someone to leave a positive 5 star rating on my gig,
here it goes, you will order a $5 gig from me and I will complete your
order, and you will leave some positive rating on my gig.
I’ll also order a $6 gig from you to return your money”

I noticed that buyer’s request don’t have a “report” button like the private messages. I think it would be very useful in cases like this one.

(BTW he already has 16 offers)

Please report it to customer support

Please report it to customer support

Already done 🙂 but I suppose it’ll take a while before Customer Support reads my report.

That’s why I think it would be useful a “report button” on buyer’s request as well.

That is zero work. I buy a gig at 5$ I will be charged 6$. If you buy my service at 5$ I will receive 4$- paypal fees.

Very weird !
Fiverr CS usually goes through the requests and approves them before allowing them to be public…

He’ll buy a 6$ gig. But that’s not the point 😛

I think the seller was very clever starting with “I need someone to”.

Isn’t it lovely when people like this introduce their two brain cells to one another?

I will charge $5 per star in the review. So for a full 5 star review, that’s a total of $75. 😉

He will buy at 6$ - 20% - paypal fees. it’s still zero… When I checked the BR section I am left to assume that the requests are not really approved by real people but rather by a machine which looks at specific key words in order to approve or disapprove.

Exactly (on both your points)

Frank, wouldn’t that be $25? ($5x5 ⭐

[frank_d]

@djgodknows

to leave a seller a 5 star review, one must provide a total of 3 5 star ratings in 3 different categories. 🙂

so that’s a $75.

I will also charge an additional $25 for 24 hour rush delivery. 😛

No it’s 75. The fiverr ⭐ has 5 sides. 5$ for each side multiply by the number of sides.

[frank_d]

@phantompower Yes that’s another way to see things I quess! 😃

The requests can´t all be checked by people, no way some of those I´ve seen would have passed then.

Yes, it’s impossible that all buyer’s request can be checked by people. That’s why I think a “report button” would help.

I think so too, and this isn´t the first thread made in Suggestions on it, alas, but maybe a new one will get some more reaction, we can hope.

Hi i dont understand how that post is approved when fiverr have appointed staff to review request before publishing…
Their are lots of seller advertising their service in recent buyer request page.

And this is why we can’t have good things 😒 …because others have borrowed a chicken’s brain and pasted them dollaroos on their eyes and screw everything up.
