I think it is much harder to start new. It feels like you are benefiting from having an established account. If you have 1-2 (10) bad reviews, that can be balanced by hundreds of 5-star reviews. If you are new, it will take years until you build up credibility, (=work for cheap) IF you are getting new orders.

I am also confused, I've been promoting my gigs since it became available. There were never any issues. All my stats are maxed out, 5.0 gig rating, and meet every metric possible as a level 2 seller. I have not made any modifications to my gigs recently, apart from changing some tags. No recently cancelled gigs, no unhappy customers. Yet, all of a sudden, all my gigs became Not promotable (Unqualified). Customer service is unable, or unwilling to tell me what metric I do not meet, and refers me to canned "How to write a gig" articles. I would appreciate any meaningful responses. If my gigs were great for 12 years, not sure what changed from Fiverr's end. If there are new requirements, it would be helpful to communicate the change, so I can play by the rules. It's been like this for about 2 weeks now.

I have also raised a few of my most popular gig’s prices more than a year ago - I am not getting less orders. I should consider raising all?

not possible. either all or nothing

Well written, exactly my thoughts. It takes time to break the $100 barrier, and it gets better soon! HOWEVER. My personal experience is once I got well in to the thousands, my orders started to drop, my past 2 years were terrible, back to well below a thousand. It hurts like hell.

does not look bad, but basically everything is broken in the front, even headlights, coolers (all 3), so my mechanic is telling me it will be around 3000 to fix everything…

I use this to transport the family. Unfortunately I am raking in orders to fix it, it’s been like this for more than a month now.

I was using Fiverr seller’s services from my earning before, with this new fee structure, I’d rather not. This is a principal issue. 1.That is money I have earned. And been taxed by Fiverr already, 20%. 2. I worked with payment processors, no one takes $2 for a $5 transaction. Especially when you are a big customer like Fiverr, offering hundreds of thousands of transactions a day. Normal rate is well below 0.5%, so about 2.5 cents per 5 dollars. (and that is expensive). 3. There is NO payment processing fee from a Fiverr balance. It’s within Fiverr. Banks never charge for in house transactions. 4. In case of a cancellation they are not giving it back? Well, guess what, credit card companies always return all charges in case of a refund. Yes, even their full commission. I am just hoping they see their dashboards, and see this is not working. I am having less and less orders, and reading the forum I see others have similar issues. Fiverr, I LOVE you, and I am angry FOR you! To learn from your mistakes and be able to reverse your mistakes.

Dear Fiverr, I have had many clients, who had additional questions, but were extremely satisfied with my work! They have still pushed the Ask for Modification button, as that’s big and the only button in the center on the app. The contact seller is not really visible (if at all in the app). Can you please make sure these two options are equally visible? They only see this is the only way to contact me, and I feel this has an adverse effect on my stats, as asking for a modification indicates they were not satisfied. In fact, they were. Thanks a lot, Sheila

World Domination 41% It’s amazing to see how buyers nationalities correlate to internet penetration in the given country. What I am missing is most of Afrika, Far-east 'stan-s. It’s a fun treasure hunt, and you can’t really influence it! (Though now I think about it, if you’d target a few facebook groups in those countries…🙂)
