It already happened to me, so I can confirm it affects multiple sellers, not just Allie.

You can't offer this type of advice when you have just a single review, just saying. The idea of staying online on Fiverr is particularly bad, because few to no people use that filter. And even if they would, those persons that are in a rush are usually a nightmare to work with, they are always unhappy and you might end up with a bad review most likely.

From my experience, no. Only 60% or less of my orders receive a review. Yet I don't see a huge difference. Of course, it will benefit you more if you have a great review, an automatically completed order won't do you any good or bad, you just get the funds. However, people might just leave it to complete automatically and leave a private review. That will affect you..

It says in your image. The gig you are trying to sell is a type of service that's not allowed on Fiverr.

You don't work on the forum. You work on Fiverr.com...

I do. Great idea, hopefully you can share a Steam link when it's out 🙂 I would be interested, and I am sure I'm not alone. Good luck!

What kind of game are you making?

Honestly, in my case, I would focus on personal branding. That means buying a little bit of everything, creating another personal website or maybe improving the one I currently have, buy email marketing services, SEO, social media ads, and also pay a tutor for a few marketing lessons, specifically stuff that's newer and due to being busy I didn't get caught up to it yet.

If the order was initiated and it was canceled after that, I get the reason why your score dropped. Still, I really hope they solve this problem because it's very annoying to be told by CS that your score is not affected, yet all of a sudden the score drops. Hopefully a fix is coming with the rollout in 2 weeks.

They still haven't fixed that problem with cancellations, have they? If the order doesn't have any requirements and it's inactive, canceling it still affects your score? WHY? I have 15 of those in queue right now, and they will most likely be canceled by Fiverr in a year or two. Hopefully they solve this by then.. if it's canceled due to not sharing guidelines or being inactive, it shouldn't affect the seller's success score. That's unjust and completely unfair.

Well they are not bad, they are actually quite good, just not perfect how we want them to be. I had 2x that happen to me yesterday. Both happy, both tipped, and as you can see from the review messages, nothing was wrong. At this point, I just accept the review scores are going to be way different in the future. I used to have tons of anxiety with the Fiverr levels and systems, but not anymore.

One might think they already made changes to the algorithm too, now that the cancellation rate is not a separate metric, among others. Most likely their algorithm started taking into account a lot of other things too. Who knows, really.

Your general score. First gig has 4.99, the second one 4.93.

Here's the average I see for your profile. I have a 4.94 average, and I had no idea if I was closer to 4.90 or 5.0. At least now I know. Yeah, I was randomly selected for the test I think, but it's nice to see the true averages of people and not 4.9 or 5 approximations. I am sure the success score will eventually be changed to reflect this because you know.. it makes sense.

Most likely. But seeing the trajectory of their latest changes, I expect this to be implemented soon. I will say this.. you won't find a lot of people with 5.0 gig scores, from what I browsed.

Honestly, I checked multiple categories and most of them don't really have a 5 star review on the first page, unless that gig has under 50-100 reviews. But older gigs.. bye bye 5.0 ratings 😄

I see. It still shows to me. So it's most likely an experiment. Still.. considering Fiverr's direction and their recent changes, I can definitely see this becoming a thing after mid-March. They did say the new rating and level system are modified in iterations so.. this might be the final change. I found this while checking my main gig and seeing that it doesn't have 5.0 anymore, instead it had 4.95. Not a huge dip or anything, but I was curious and checked a multitude of other gigs, and they all had decimals. That's why I shared a screenshot.

And by the way, for those wondering, this appears in Google Chrome for now, at least for me. Other browsers still show the previous gig average. However, it's clear that this system is implemented and my assumption is that it will most likely be what we will see starting with March 15th. So if you want to see your new gig scores, just paste your gig's link in Chrome. For me, the system seems to heavily penalize older gigs, because newer gigs have a higher chance of getting that 5.0 score. From what I checked, the majority of people have 4.95 or under, at least those with hundreds or thousands of reviews.

I was browsing Fiverr today as usual, and I quickly realized that Fiverr has dropped ratings across the board for all gigs. You will rarely see gigs that have 5 star, as you can see from the image below, we now have things like 4.95, 4.88 and so on. I am sure it's an experiment and it didn't show in all browsers I tried. But it's clear they are implementing it soon. And it's also clear that the review system is here to stay, since it definitely helped Fiverr have wayyyy less 5 star reviews. In fact, from the dozens of gigs I checked, only those with under 100 reviews were still able to keep 5 stars. Thoughts?

That's the entire purpose of the new review system, or it certainly feels like that.

Clearly they won't, since they are doubling down on it. The new public score calculation incorporates historical private feedback, aiming to reflect client feedback more holistically and enhance the reliability of ratings as a decision-making tool. - now I can only imagine how many topics/posts we will have on the forum saying they had perfect reviews and yet their success score is low. At least we can point them to Kesha's post. @Kesha, is this change already made, buyers can already see the modified rating system? Or will it appear starting with March 15th?

Are you sure that's for the affiliate program? https://www.fiverr.com/partnerships/affiliates because from what I see here, they give you 25% of first order A CPA of 25% for the initial purchase amount and 10% of future orders A 10% revenue share of each purchase the buyers make in the next 12 months. I think you are talking about this. https://www.fiverr.com/referral_program, which only gives you Fiverr credits. But you can become an affiliate, share your affiliate link and you won't get paid in credits. Do read the terms of service for affiliates, just to be safe.

I think you can get a comission via Fiverr too, don't they have an affiliate program? You send that person an affiliate link to purchase your gig, and you get a comission.

Are you sure you entered Fiverr.com? Because the link in your browser seems to suggest other website. There is a scam link running around similar to what you have, which encourages people to share their personal info like bank info. Don't continue to be safe. Just enter Fiverr via its regular link, https://www.fiverr.com/.

Why was it flagged? Fiverr normally sends an email or notifies you with the reason why you were flagged in the first place.
