What percentage of your buyers leave you reviews?

[shimul_das]

my buyer review percentages 80%

[shimul_das]

So asking for a review violates Fiverr’s terms and conditions?

no. but never patent for review with buyer, if buyer complain customer care they will give you warning.

I do not mention review at all and I still have 100%. About 70% write something, other 30% just rate with stars.
But I’m quite new seller, so it seems I got good buyers. 🙂

[lisabaarns]

70% after ~1,700 gigs.

Easy to get reviews in the early stages for me, now with so many repeat buyers, some only rate a subset of their orders. (They are very busy sellers too…)

What matters most is how your overall ratings compare with your peers in the same category. Some categories get mostly one time buyers, some get a mix and repeat buyers often stop rating, depending on how busy they are.

My percentage is 73%. 🙂 Thanks.

With almost 900 orders my review rate is 87%. Not too shabby. I think what makes a difference for me is having a very positive personal relationship with my customers. I notice a lot of my customers use my first name when they leave a review. That tells me that we have built a great rapport. I never ask for reviews but I often write the customer when the order is completed and tell thank thanks for the honor of working on their projects. Many of my projects are bigger orders that take a lot of back and forth between myself and the customer so we have time to get to know each other.

When this post was started, mine was closer to 85%. Now, it’s just 78%. Wonder what went wrong; seems your rates drop as your orders increase.

As you stated it is never wise to ask for a good or positive review directly. My rating is at 71% currently, and despite the fact that i need those reviews so much I always wait until my customer is very happy with my work and request for a review. It is advantageous at times since i would have done over 5 orders for the client and they will review them at once.

[idostuff74]

95%, without ever asking for one.

[ryangillam]

85% of all customers have left feedback. Mainly because I encourage them to leave feedback in the note I leave. “If you are happy, don’t forget to leave feedback!”

[salehayat]

Mine is 87%

I do write the same sentence to encourage buyer to give review…

[sue_mcl]

Mine is 65%, I used a solicit reviews in the beginning, but I stopped doing it after a while and haven’t done it for a while now, as I didn’t find it affected the percentage of reviewers that much. Some buyers just don’t like/can’t be bothered and that is cool, I don’t want to hassle them to leave a review - people are busy.

It’s true. I used to have higher percentage also, but I have about 1100 orders completed now and it’s stuck at 67%. But I’m fine with it, it’s also true that when you have a lot of repeat clients they stop leaving reviews after a while. They feel they’ve said it all.

Considering almost 700 people have left me reviews and my overall feedback is 4.9, I am very happy 🙂

[wp_kid]

83%

But many are repeated buyers , they buy many gig for some old projects and don't have any intention to review multiple time for same projects :P

[dasarg]

So far I’ve got 18 reviews out of 19 sales. That puts it at nearly 95%.

[jhallawalla]

77% 😃 Some people just never came back

[catwriter]

75%. I don’t ask for reviews.

[Guest anjylina]

90%
When I started ,I just wished for the order to be automatically marked as completed.😂

[grydlynnes]

84%

When buyers who don’t leave a review come back for another order I tax them by not giving them some advantages I would normally grant them. It’s kind of a you-did-not-leave-a-review-tax.

You never know. You probably are better off without any review than with negative reviews that could have come. Please relieve such repeat buyers of your tax burden!

[draceadan]

My question would be, is the absence of rankings affecting one’s position in search results?

[solwonder]

Thank you for the wording! I was hesitant to also request clients to leave a good review unless they truly felt that way.

[n4y33m]

Joined 20 day ago order Completed 15, reviewed 14. As a newbie, I need reviews, and obviously positive reviews. But if buyer don’t try to understand this little thing, then I think I should let them do what they want.

[mayasayvanova]

By the way, on a slightly related but different note, have you had buyers that leave you say 4 stars or 4.3 or 4.7, but then become return buyers or leave you a tip.
I’m very confused from clients like that. I wonder if they have pressed the wrong button or something 😕

[catwriter]

4.3 and 4.7 are bugs. Buyers leave a 5 star review through the app (which is buggy), but it ends up as 4.3 or 4.7.

[thebackpacker]

52%! Which is no problem. I wouldn’t dream of requesting reviews upon delivery as I anticipate the utter confusion and need for further instruction from certain buyers would take away from any positives.
