  1. Actually, this is not new. I asked CS about this roughly 12 months ago when the new levels system went into effect. I was asked not to discuss the specifics that I was told, but yes, gigs do disappear from search results at certain “orders in queue” amounts, depending upon your seller level. I have seen and confirmed this personally as I have worked at various seller levels. “New Seller” and “Level One” have these queue restrictions in place. “Level Two” sellers appear to have no such queue restrictions. Please keep in mind, though, no matter what seller level you have, you should not be putting all your sales hopes on gig search results. Fiverr CS has stated this many times (to many people who have asked): You should be marketing and promoting your gigs on your own to bring in more customers. There are no sales or traffic guarantees here on Fiverr, but you can control traffic and sales by working hard to market and promote your services. This is a separate user-initiated feature, and is not related to the above queue restrictions. Are these examples from “Level Two” or “TRS” sellers? 😉 Now to figure out what is the amount of orders you can work on at a time at level 1 or 0 before the gig vanishes. Less than 11 at least!
  2. I noticed that my gig is disappearing and re-appearing from search randomly. I asked support about it, and they confirmed that it’s the amount of orders in queue being too high. It’s only about 11, which has never before been too high, so it’s very weird. I have been on Fiverr since 2012 and have never noticed it before, so it must be a new feature. I noticed it started to happen last month when I edited my gig. There however is a setting under a gig to limit the amount of orders in queue (Which removes the gig from search if that limit is reached), which has always been turned off. They didn’t comment on that, though, but recommended to use that setting if I wish. The point however is to continue not using it, so I can get more orders. For the time being I’m experimenting with it. Turning the limit on and setting the limit to a big number. :thinking: How many orders do you have in queue? Is your gig still showing in search? I suspect that I have been giving false information, as there’s gigs with 500 orders showing in search.
  3. I wouldn’t purchase. Seeing how many people say that there has been problems after doing so. 😐 But many sellers do purchase my gigs, so it’s a common practice. Not sure if any of them have also gotten trouble for doing so.
  4. Pointless threats. There’s no way to change a review, even if it was made a minute ago. Not even if you placed it by accident. Or so I have heard here!
  5. I don’t think it has anything to do with suspicion. Imo everyone has to verify who they are eventually. Sending them a scan of your ID/Driver’s licence is sufficient to bring color to the buttons again! Assuming you haven’t done so already.
  6. What? So big fees on tips as well? Now I feel bad for people who tip me. 😐 Wonder what’s the reason behind it, other than to make money? If it’s to prvent people ordering services through tips with lesser fees, surely that can easily be noticed if someone makes large tips regularly.
  7. They do - there’s a check box especially for it, but they’re not held to it if they cancel, even if it’s because they’ve asked for things not included in the gig etc. Interesting update! I didn’t see that last time I purchased. Though what is the point if they can lie about reading it? Feels like a lot of buyers don’t even read a word on what they are buying, and just order a gig blindly, and then are disappointed because they expected it to be different.
  8. I’ve also been wondering why a buyer doesn’t have to agree to having read the service description before ordering. :thinking: It should be Fiverr making sure of that, not sellers. If any cancellation occurs due to buyer agreeing to having read the description, but didn’t, then a cancellation would not affect the seller in any way, except not getting paid for that order.
  9. I can’t think of any reason why would they delay payments for level 2 sellers :thinking: Is it something to do with fraud prevention?
  10. I was just thinking about this yesterday! How you could upload a custom sound to be played at a specific event, lol. New order, New message/notification, New 5.0 review, New < 4.8 review, Modification request, Etc. Would only make events more noticeable to hear, but also more fun! 😅 I have lots of silly ideas for sounds!
  11. Yes, it does make it disappear. Sometimes only for minutes, sometimes days and sometimes months or longer. It’s completely normal and not a bug according to support. 🙀 So never edit a gig, unless you want to take the risk.
  12. Yes, yes and yes! They know of this issue, so I’m sure it’s actually something that will get changed 🙂
  13. 4 stars is very good! Even 3 stars is considered a positive review by Fiverr, which will only increase your gig’s position. Many have even 95% rating and every sixth review is 3-4 stars, yet get tons of orders. So don’t stress about it! You just need more orders before your position increases, and then more and more orders start to occur as a result. And to get to that point, keep providing excellent service and make sure everyone is happy. You should also promote your gigs elsewhere. Create your own site or a blog for them where you can discuss them in greater details, post the best reviews, examples etc. and link back to Fiverr. You can also do SEO and drive traffic to your site to boost sales further.
  14. It would be a very good feature if we could choose which messages to receive. I’d opt out of “New message” notifications at least, as those tend to fill my mailbox super quick.
  15. Funnily enough I’ve used my own gigs to increase my own (And others) sales nicely. A small but great blog dedicated to reviewing my gigs + my own SEO on it to make it popular, combined with my targeted traffic brings tons of additional leads.
