I don't think a username like that in and of itself is against the guidelines. But if I saw a username like that, I would immediately think "spammer" and that connotation alone could have caused someone to report you. You didn't miss anything, but it might have contributed to your situation, which is why I wanted to mention it specifically. @miiila - great advice!

One can't help but wonder what extraordinary circumstances must have occurred for you to get the Pro status to begin with, based on your public reviews.

Nothing. Your client has the option to complete it manually or to let it auto-complete. That's up to them.

As a seller and buyer on Fiverr, it's not uncommon for me to cross paths with some... let's say, overly optimistic individuals. First, we've got our "fluent English speakers." You know the ones - their profiles confidently declare it, so it must be true. Right? Yet, when it comes to crafting a coherent sentence or explaining even a basic concept, the words seem to play hide and seek. Then, we have the "experts." They’re everywhere — each one a master of everything, from SEO to graphic design and digital marketing. Scratch beneath the surface, and you'll find SEO experts who can’t tell a keyword from a keychain and designers who think RGB is a boy band from the 90s. That is if they can even spell "graffick desugn" (real example!). Look. We're all here to make a living. I get it. But credibility isn’t just a nice-to-have; it's our lifeblood. Every hard-working, honest, and talented seller have to share space with these... overly optimistic individuals. So here's my advice after nine years on the platform, several of them as a Top Rated Seller and Pro seller: keep it real. You don't have to be a virtuoso in English or a genius in your field. Do you need talent and communication skills? Sure! But skills begin with an authentic wish to better yourself, not by lying. Be authentic, reliable, and honest. Faking it isn't making it. Let's make Fiverr a place where skills aren't over-promised but over-delivered.

The TRS badge is reserved for those who exemplify the highest level of service on Fiverr – the crème de la crème. Given that we're supposed to be the best of the best, only a small fraction qualifies for it, as it should be. If it were to be granted to every Level 2 seller over time, the significance of the badge itself would disappear. The short answer: most sellers don't deserve it.

I'm not sure if I understand your question. Could you try rephrasing it?

This from the terms of service might be helpful in your case. Highlights are mine. "Ownership and limitations: When purchasing a Gig on Fiverr, unless clearly stated otherwise on the Seller's Gig page/description, when the work is delivered, and subject to payment, the Buyer is granted all intellectual property rights, including but not limited to, copyright in the work delivered from the Seller, and the Seller waives any and all moral rights therein. Accordingly, the Seller expressly assigns to the Buyer the copyright in the delivered work. All transfer and assignment of intellectual property to the Buyer shall be subject to full payment for the Gig, and the delivery may not be used if payment is cancelled for any reason. For removal of doubt, in custom created work (such as art work, design work, report generation etc.), the delivered work and its copyright shall be the exclusive property of the Buyer and, upon delivery, the Seller agrees that it thereby, pursuant to these Terms of Service, assigns all right, title and interest in and to the delivered work to the Buyer. Some Gigs (including for custom created work) charge additional payments (through Gig Extras) for a Commercial Use License. This means that if you purchase the Gig for personal use, you will own all rights you require for such use, and will not need the Commercial Use License. If you intend to use it for any charge or other consideration, or for any purpose that is directly or indirectly in connection with any business, or other undertaking intended for profit, you will need to buy the Commercial Use License through a Gig Extra and will have broader rights that cover your business use."

Fiverr’s Choice is a badge Fiverr gives to a seller's gig, indicating excellent buyer satisfaction and services. It's awarded to specific gigs, not to sellers as a whole. The process of awarding it is automatic, based on your performance and the feedback given by previous buyers. It can come and go, so it won’t always be there, and it’s not a seller level/status (like level 1, level 2, and Top Rated Seller) - it’s simply a way for Fiverr to tell the buyer that “hey, many buyers thought this was a great value!"

DNS servers do not affect your IP address. Think of DNS as a phone book. When you type in "fiverr.com," your computer calls your DNS server, asking, "Where is that website?" and the DNS responds, "It's on this IP..." and then your computer connects to the IP of Fiverr.com, having received that from your DNS server. In other words: changing your DNS is only changing which "phone book" your computer connects to for it to find its way on the Internet. So yes, you are free to choose other DNS providers. It doesn't affect your IP address or your connection to Fiverr beyond that initial information lookup.

"I broke the rules." "You can't break the rules". "How can I break the rules again?" 😶‍🌫️

It's best to sleep at night. I respond to messages when I get up. I have a 1 hour response time on average. Being active all the time won't help you succeed: being well-rested and clear-minded will. Hence, sleep is a good thing. 🙂

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean selling a service where you create the website specifically for the client? If so, yes. If you're talking about selling existing websites to buyers, there's no category for that on Fiverr, and as such, Fiverr is not meant to be used for trading sites.

I've asked customer support about this before. Since I'm a Fiverr Pro and Top Rated Seller, the response is from a supervisor, so it comes with some authority: Essentially, Pavel is saying that while it's not impossible to use a VPN, it may lead to complications with the site. The guidelines from Fiverr make it clear that employing methods to deceive Fiverr about your true location is not acceptable. Consistently using a VPN to give the impression that you're in a different location would thus be a violation of these guidelines. To put it plainly: can you use a VPN? Technically, yes. But it could result in issues with the website, and if you use it for prolonged periods, Fiverr might see this as an attempt to mislead the platform, putting your account at risk of warnings or worse. It's probably best to avoid it. I've occasionally accessed Fiverr using a VPN, usually inadvertently if it was left on or when connecting from airports/public Wi-Fi. I haven't had any issues. However, there's always a risk, and I see no need or advantage for a VPN when using Fiverr.

You will not show up as active or online on Fiverr by using the forum, as far as I know. It's two different platforms.

Without seeing the messages you sent, it's difficult to say, but Fiverr has big issues with spam. Hence they employ systems to detect and stop it. Your username is the first red flag: it's pointless, repetitive, and similar to the ones used by spammers. You sending messages to multiple sellers in a short time span is another red flag. It might also be that you have created users before. Making a new user if you have had your account deactivated is against the guidelines. I suggest you read the terms you accepted when signing up for the platform.

Sending unsolicited messages to other sellers or buyers is spam. Think about it. If you're getting lots of messages every day from new sellers trying to push their services on you, it means you have to spend your precious time answering people who are basically looking for freebies and jobs, without putting in any real work. When you reach out to a top seller (or any other seller), it's like you're saying, "Hey, I don't want to work for my success. Please give me some of yours." And this is to someone who has probably put in a lot of sweat and time to become successful on the platform. After years of receiving such worthless "offers", it's increasingly frustrating to see the amount of spam increase on the platform.

HI Zuzana, How many impressions vs. clicks vs. leads vs. actual orders we get differs wildly from seller to seller. I wouldn't get stuck on the numbers here. Instead, look at your monthly revenue. Is it where you want it to be? If not, how can you increase it? Think of it as you would any business outside of Fiverr. Your gig is your store window. If it's ugly, people will leave and visit someone else, or even worse, pass right by your shop. In most cases, improving the "front-end" of your gig (i.e., thumbnail/gig video and title) can increase clicks. The same + gig description can increase conversions, i.e., turning that click into an order. So, to improve, work on every aspect of your gig. I think your gig descriptions are good. They focus on the buyer and their needs. Thumbs up! The profile picture also looks professional. Thumbs up! Your profile description could do with some improvement. Correcting typos, improving your English, and ensuring that people actually understand who you are, would be relevant steps to take here. Perhaps you could try to tell a story about how you used the techniques offered to improve your own life. More on your background, less on the method? Just a thought. As for your gigs: only two have videos. I think all your gigs could use videos to their advantage. Videos increase engagement and trust and helps the buyer get to know you and your services. About videos: the audio quality of yours is not great. Perhaps you could record new videos in an area with less reverb (echo) or stack some pillows outside the camera view to improve the audio. It's not a dealbreaker, but if I were to hire a life coach I knew I would be talking to for hours, I would prefer someone easy to understand with crisp, clear audio and picture quality. Pricing: Starting at just five bucks sends only one signal: cheap and low-quality. No true professional want to work for five bucks. Fiverr also tries really hard to promote higher-priced gigs because selling a 100-dollar gig means more money not just for the seller but for Fiverr. In other words, the algorithm likes higher prices. I quickly looked through your category, and most sellers charge 20+ as their base rate. I hope this helps!

You claim to be a skilled graphic designer with multiple certifications, yet your application did not meet Fiverr's quality standards. I'm not saying you're not a skilled graphic designer, as I haven't seen your work, but Fiverr's decision not to approve your profile may indicate a disagreement with that self-assessment, or it may simply be that the category you're applying for is over-saturated. After all, graphics design is one of the more over-saturated verticals on Fiverr. Did you offer something unique to set you apart from the sellers already on the platform? With all due respect, if you intend to create a new Fiverr profile, why do you think it will be approved next time? What has changed? If the answer is "nothing," the chances of your next profile ending up in the unapproved pile are high. I'm only trying to help by offering a reality check here. You need to offer something unique that is in demand on Fiverr for your profile to be approved. If you're just another graphic designer amongst thousands applying each day, Fiverr has to set the bar high to maintain some sort of quality control on the platform. I believe I answered your initial question in my previous post: yes, you can delete your old profile and create a new one. Will it help? Doubtful.

To manage that many orders, you would either require a team to handle the workload or focus on a high volume of small orders. The latter is often called a volume seller. They typically complete many easy/smaller tasks for a small sum. On the other end, there are high-end sellers who cater to clients with bigger budgets, working on fewer but higher-value projects. My own business falls into this latter category (or somewhere in between, depending on who you ask, since there are sellers charging thousands of bucks for a single order). The majority of my orders are valued at $100 or more, and I seldom receive orders below that. I frequently work on orders from 1000 to 3000 USD each. If I were to have 20 of those in my queue, I would indeed require the team I mentioned to manage it.

You get briefs if Fiverr thinks your gig is relevant and a good match for a buyer's needs. In other words, make sure your gigs are well optimized to let the algorithm know what your service is all about and deliver high-quality services to ensure a high buyer satisfaction rate (happy buyers = more buyers).

The wait could span days, weeks, months, or even years. You might never get it back. It depends on your performance. You lost access to the feature because you a) don't meet the quality requirements or b) did something wrong. I can't tell you the exact reason why this happened. But it's usually reasons a, b, or a combination of those. The only one who can affect change is you. By consistently delivering exceptional services and by following the guidelines, you enhance your gig's quality, which in turn may influence your eligibility for promoted gigs. To put it bluntly: Don't wait around and expect promoted gigs to be reactivated for you. You lost access for a reason, and it is up to you to improve.

Behance is not included among the approved links for gig descriptions, so, I would be cautious. This list is specifically for gig descriptions, but the intent is to avoid sharing contact information or giving the impression that you're attempting to contact someone or receive payments outside of Fiverr. If your Behance link discloses any personal information, it could potentially be regarded as a violation of the guidelines. I would recommend creating your own website with absolutely no personal information on it except your Fiverr username and using that to share your portfolio with potential clients.

As indicated in the email from Fiverr, your profile and service have been thoroughly evaluated, and unfortunately, you do not currently fulfill Fiverr's criteria. What leads you to believe that Fiverr would approve your seller profile if you were to delete your existing account and apply once more? Have there been any significant changes since you initially created this profile? While it is possible to delete your previous Fiverr account and create a new one, provided you have not been kicked from the platform, what would be the point? Unless you have acquired a new skill set and believe you are now better suited to meet Fiverr's standards for quality and trustworthiness, I would honestly recommend directing your efforts elsewhere.

The thought of doing it cheaply to get started isn't entirely invalid, but consider this: If you were to launch a new beverage to the supermarkets, and the going market rate for said beverage type is ten bucks, you wouldn't sell for one buck. You would sell it for ten, perhaps with an initial launch sale, giving people 10 or 20% off for the first week. Being new to the marketplace doesn't mean you must sell yourself short and work for nothing. 😄

Thousands of people have asked the same question on the forum before you. I suggest searching and reading on the forum, and I'm sure you'll find answers. 🙂
