I think it may be part of rooting out the VPN cheaters.

This ties into what @frank_d talked about when he said many cool changes were coming.

If you hover over it, it says Name, phone number and email verified, I believe there may be an IP check as well to make sure. It is definitely an ID related thing.

Who knows?

Do you charge for revisions? If not, you should consider it, so that each additional afterthought is an additional sale. Agree. Best decision I ever made was to remove revisions from the order, so each time someone wants to add "Just one more thing", it is an additional sale. I'm happy to revise all day long.

GME may have already been played out. AMC to the moon. Shorts will have to cover all those synthetic shares.

How has everyone overlooked Puddles this far?

Valuable tip, Bro.

@williambryan392 Wins! The internet will be closed till tomorrow morning.

Even people who need to be on a low protein diet for kidney problems, etc? I thought we were done with the amateur doctors after COVID.

Wrong. Fiver is not set up to work this way. It is not the buyer's responsibility to develop the productivity of the seller. You seem confused as to who the boss is in the transaction.

Most people rely on liking every post, even those that make both sides of an argument, and the good old fashioned pasting of "Good info, go more ahead, bro," to every post you see. Quick and easy, no reading or comprehension required.

As you can see color is not very important. It is much more important to have a good offer.

Why, are you ill?

Why would you make up such nonsense advice? @m_u_zaman please disregard, that is totally silly and false.

Yes, there is a huge difference between the buyer who asks that you discuss first. No problem. The issue I have is the way some sellers want to mandate that as a policy, which is the group that makes me suspicious of their abilities. You can tell by that seller's response that they are to be avoided at all costs.

I said, and still believe that sellers have every right to ASK that they be contacted prior to ordering. But it cannot be required as this tantrum is about. There is nothing that compels a buyer to communicate prior to ordering, and that is blowing minds once again. That's all.

There is no such thing as ranking a gig. They constantly move.

Actually, I can label this anyway I wish. For instance, I can label your approach to this as uninformed and unserious. Fiverr does not allow a seller to REQUIRE contact prior to ordering. That is a "fact", not a "narrative." This might be easier if you learned the difference between the two. This is the reality, and just because you don't like it, does not make it untrue. You can play make believe all you want, but it makes you appear silly. Fiverr is not DESIGNED to work with the REQUIREMENT that you are demanding, while pounding the table. Fiverr is an on-demand marketplace! Fiverr is an on-demand marketplace!! Fiverr is an on-demand marketplace!!!

I have some people who message first every day, and that's fine. I'm happy to discuss the job and get an offer out. My problem is with the buyers who want to interview the sellers first. Either they have shaky skills, or poorly written offers in their gigs, meaning that they are nervous as to whether they can actually perform what they advertise, or their gigs are poorly written and leave all sorts of details out of the scope of the offer. Often someone will place an order with me, and if there are extras that need to be discussed, that conversation happens.

Actually none can "require" it. They can ask for it, but that is not the way Fiverr is intended to work. It is usually a nervous, inexperienced seller who is so unsure about their abilities that they need a courtship prior to purchase. We are, like it or not, an on demand platform. It is a huge red flag that I believe should make a buyer avoid the seller.

No good deed goes unpunished.

I think you are asking the wrong question. It seems that you expect that just setting up a gig brings orders. What about the quality of your services up against the TRS in your category? For some reason people are looking at your gig and deciding not to buy. You should be asking, how do I stack up against the other 63,653 people selling the exact same service who got here before you. It's not enough to open a restaurant, you have to have better food, service and marketing to stay in business.
