We'll see... Usually spring is the best selling season for me.

Same situation. March was my third-best revenue month ever. I was also awarded the Fiverr's Choice badge for the first time since last year. However, 7 hours ago, I also received this email. Strange...

I just had that kind of "luck". A few minutes ago I received a very unexpected cancellation request from a buyer to whom I delivered high-quality work that I am really proud of. In the message to a cancellation request, I noted that this is a high-quality work and fully corresponds to my gig description. However, I mistakenly clicked the green "Accept request" button instead of "Decline request". Damn... I already contacted CS asking if it was possible to somehow cancel this action, since I completely disagree with the buyer's statement.

On the contrary, I always have more first time clients than repeat ones. This month, I got the repeat business badge only because I closed a big project from a regular client. I didn't have that badge for a year.

So strange to see everyone saying they're experiencing a slump in orders and new inquiries. I have a different situation now, after a few slow months I am experiencing a sharp rise, the number of orders and new requests has increased several times. I was also recently awarded the Fiverr's Choice badge, which I had exactly a year ago in the spring. It seems that there're some changes in the algorithm, since throughout the year my buyer satisfaction rate was in excellent shape according to the notes from my success manager, but not a single month was as busy as it is now.

Hi@frank_d, Have you posted any update on this? Maybe I missed it and would truly appreciate if you could send a link to that post. Thank you in advance!

That's not true. I am a Pro Seller and Fiverr also charges me 20% on every order.

Thank you for the reply, Frank. What would you advise in this case? Stay PRO or switch to non-pro gigs and a lower starting price? Or still wait some more time and see how things go?

frank_d, donnovan86 My stats don't look better guys. This month, I'm going through the biggest recession in over a year, that's for sure. This month, I received half the orders as usual, and the income has decreased by more than three times compared to the last three months. I have no idea why this is happening... The recession started once I became a PRO seller (I got a badge on May 2nd and all my gigs were converted to Pro ones). Or is it just a coincidence? I believe it may be that everyone is now in such a downturn due to world events, recession and inflation, but according to my statistics, last month was the best month in my translation career. Also, according to my records, summer has always been a more profitable season than any other. So I'm a little worried about what's going on and I'm thinking maybe it makes sense to go back to being a non-pro seller (just TRS)? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Why did you indicate in your profile that your surname is Andriy? I am a native Ukrainian, I have been living in Ukraine for 24 years and have never heard that a male name (Andriy is a popular male name in Ukraine) is a surname. You seem to be hiding something or lying...

Thank you, Frank!

Hi guys, This is my first time posting here and I want to share some great news with you! I got accepted to Fiverr PRO program! I'm already Top Rated Seller (I got this badge in September 2021) and around two month ago I decided to try to apply for a PRO status. I put together my portfolio, recorded a short introductory video, filled out the application in full, and submitted it on April 10th. And... on April 15th I received an email that... I made it and I'm in! Wow, what huge news! It took them only 5 days to get me approved! I couldn't believe it. Then I had to book a call with my Success Manager to get me onboarded and activated my profile and gigs as Pro. The call took place today and finally I'm officially PRO seller! I'm super excited! Hope it's going to be a nice and interesting journey, so I can't wait to start selling in a newly Pro status 🙂
