    Hey @donnovan86 in theory that shouldn’t be happening to you 🤔 mjensen announced that there will be posting limits to prevent spam that is connected to your reputation score (not forum badge) though your score is not low

    Exactly. I don't see why.

    Well, sometimes, if you're TOO active on the forum or even the main website, I guess Fiverr just takes your IP as a VPN/spam and blocks it from doing anything for a while. Happened to me recently (which shows I shouldn't be as active as I am right now), but it got fixed in an hour or so. While this is going on, you can't react or reply to posts or heck, even open them.

    They stopped me from doing any post for the entire day. However, I was able to react to posts. Just not post anything myself. Weird. I barely wrote 10-12 replies within 6-7 hours. That's not really overactive.. come on.

  2. Yesterday I posted maybe 10-12 replies to various posts, and when I tried to reply one more time, I ended up locked from posting anything until the end of the day. It said that I reached my post limit for the day.

    I had days when I posted multiple topics and replies, and was never locked out of saying anything. Is this something new to the forum and if it is, what is the post limit per day?

    I'm not sure if i can run google ppc ads for my fiverr gig. To promote my gig i think that's the best way. Is this goes against fiverr TOS?

    Fiverr has its own gig promotion system. What do you think? They expect you to use Promoted Gigs to promote your gig.

    By the way, PPC campaigns for a Fiverr gig are not allowed. Due to the structure that Fiverr has, you are promoting only their website anyway, not your gig. So no, you should not attempt to do this.

    Use Fiverr's Promoted Gigs if you want to promote your gig. That's the only, acceptable way to do this. Otherwise you might end up with a lot of issues. 

    You can find a link to this program here.

    Do you know the Benefit of the Fiverr forum?

    You get to learn a lot of things. Tips, tricks, how you can use some website features, etc. But you shouldn't expect the forum to affect your Fiverr performance in any way. You can ignore it and have the same placement in Search results.

    So maybe there are some changes underway  in the way fiverr looks at things now. 

    Sure, but I still think that sellers having control over multiples or not should be mandatory. The lack of such option is severe. As I said, some categories need it more than others. For writers, this is a MUST HAVE, due to how different the needs of customers are, one of them wants 2 articles that are long, others need 10 short articles, etc, anyway you get the gist of it.. Plus, it's unfair that buyers can order so much without talking with you first. And as it was said above, they just say "I thought you were offering this", even if Fiverr automatically has up to 20x the desired package.

    BUT you’ll get a bigger sale out of it.

    A sale that gets refunded and a frustrated buyer. I hardly call that a win. Plus, it's better for Fiverr if customers are happy, right? That's why sellers need to have more control over how much they sell. It's way worse if a sale ends up being refunded. 

    The thing is, for writing at least, there will always be people that need articles quicker, so for us at least, an extra fast feature is important. I don't want to raise my prices and force myself to do a 1-day delivery for everything like other writers do, that would be really challenging for me, so yes, this type of feature I am asking for definitely offers more control over what and how I sell. Which should definitely be the case in the first place.

    I see for most of you the issue is the time

    It's related to money too. Because people tend to manipulate the system to pay less. I am talking mostly about time related issues here because it gets very problematic schedule-wise. But yes, some buyers are creative and I had some buy multiples for the basic gig and they did a single fast delivery obviously. I forgot to mention that, but the main focus is for sellers to have control over what they receive in an order here. A single button to turn gig multiples on or off is the right solution. It's not like Fiverr would stop everyone from using gig multiples. Instead it would give us more control over what we want and that is CRUCIAL especially for those in the writing section or any category where there are bulk purchases.

    It is so misleading. It’s fiverr stating - on my behalf - that I can deliver 1 OR 20 posters in 4 days, no biggie.

    Exactly. I had someone order 20x my second package, obviously without talking with me or saying anything, that purchase and a few more with 10x the maximum word count had to be canceled, and it was one of the main reasons why I ended up removed from search for a good month and a half. So yes... I really hope this option is implemented. Even now I am dealing with a dude that ordered 20x my about us page (where I only do one about us page) just because he could.. Needless to say it's extremely difficult to deal with these things, and it can all be avoided just by adding a button.

    It wouldn't hamper the buyer experience, if anything it would provide realistic expectations. This way the buyer knows exactly what limits that seller has and what he can actually provide. Not think that he can do 20x his maximum gig package...

    And the buyers will tell you: “Well, it was there so I assumed it was fine”.

    Exactly what happened to me multiple times. People assume that I agree with it if it's there. And I don't, but there's no way to stop this. For writers in particular it gets very annoying, because people might not buy 10 logos at once, but they will buy 10 or 20 articles if they need them. So for the Writing and Translation category (and I assume other categories) this is a MUST HAVE.

    This is certainly a feature that could be implemented, perhaps the Fiverr expect the sellers to enter in vacance mode to be unavailable when they are busy with many orders?

     

    That doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to choose how much work I want to receive per customer. I don't like working on large articles myself, and even if it's stated on the gig page, people still order because there's a gig multiples option. So it should be the seller's choice what and how they want to sell.

    And just my opinion if you are getting many orders than you can randle, maybe you should considere increase your prices.

    I don't have a problem with the number of orders. I have a problem with the order size. The seller should have control over what orders they want to receive, right? Just like you are able to start/stop the 3 gig packages, you should also be able to either enable or disable gig multiples.

  11. Thank you for supporting the cause @miiila.

    Yes, I've been dealing with this problem ever since I started on Fiverr in 2014 and usually I have a lot of cancellations caused by this problem. Even if I just have 3 word counts I offer through gig packages, people still order with multiples and more often than not, those huge orders need to be canceled. That has a negative impact not only on how people find me, but also my overall income. And yes, it's been problematic for customers as well. 

    I hope this will be implemented soon, if it was indeed implemented for the VO section, I don't think it should be any challenge adding it to the Writing category. Honestly, the entire website should need this, because gig multiples should be something the seller agrees to.

  12. I hope someone at Fiverr sees this, because it's an issue for a lot of people. Due to the nature of my work, as a writer, I always have people that need many articles at once, but my workload doesn't allow me to go over a certain word count. Unfortunately, people place large orders without my consent, and canceling those orders has a negative impact on my account. 

    That's why it's important for sellers to have an option where they can turn gig multiples on or off. That means it should be an individual decision for every seller, it's not like gig multiples would be removed. But in many cases, a seller just wants to offer 3 packages and that's it, no gig multiples for that package. Please implement this, because it's extremely important.... Other platforms like SEOClerks already have it, and they implemented the option in the form of a simple button.

    You should at least have a lot of orders in the queue to qualify. 

    Not exactly. You should have a proven track record.

    You can have 100 orders in queue, if you cancel all of them that doesn't prove anything. However, completed orders are another thing entirely.

    Fiverr only gives to those who are getting orders on a consistent basis and have a BIG team.

    I don't think that having a big team is a requirement. I don't need such a service, but I do have consistent work and I am sure I would qualify. I do agree they are playing it safe, because they have to, they can't just hand out free money.
