Crypto payments are not supported on Fiverr, so obviously they won't accept withdrawals either. Crypto had quite the crash so the chances of them accepting crypto are very low. If your country doesn't accept PayPal, you have access to Payoneer. Those 2 options tend to cover most if not all of the entire world 🙂

You have all deliveries on the order page. So yes, you should have access to every delivery, just scroll on the order page.

Yeah, either the buyer has to be very vindictive or the work provided must be really really bad to receive a bad private review. Unfortunately it does happen...

I think Frank mentioned, and I can only assume it's rather accurate, if the buyer rates most things less than average, or the equivalent of a public 2.7 rating, the review is seen as bad/negative.

Member since Jan 2023... that's just 3 months. You have to realize that it took a year or two for some people to receive an order. Also your niche is very saturated... so you should try to offer a service that's unique, as a lot of people are offering what you provide right now. So if you want to stand out, try to provide customers with something that no one delivers..

Use free keyword tools and see the suggestions you receive based on general industry keywords. Go from there.

Yet even the best cheaters get caught eventually...

Even if he is a virtual assistant... A buyer can easily book his own hotel, the only reason why he would use Fiverr is to ask for a refund afterwards and leave that seller in the gray, scamming him for money. So yeah, if stuff is sketchy, always stay away from it. Just work on stuff you can do and you offer on the platform. If something seems too good to be true, it most likely is. OP should cancel that order and even report to customer support.

That would be the solution but the reality is that sometimes people are in a rush. Or they just don't give feedback. Late December I had a person that rated me 1 star, they were a returning buyer and guess what, they were very happy. But they rushed to share a review and yeah, obviously it affected me. But all you can do is deliver the best work you can and hope your clients apprecaite it...

I agree with you 100%. We always need to adapt. Some will fall off, others will become even more successful. As long as we adapt to any of the changes and maintain a positive, forward-thinking approach we should always be fine.

That post stinks of AI writing.

Tell them to go to the order page. A review option should be there..

You can also pause your gigs and only take new orders when you finish the current ones.

A good idea is to check the type of gigs people create here and come up with something different. I would also recommend improving your skills and learning new things to stand out. There are a LOT of sellers on Fiverr, so the only way to stand out is via being the best at what you do. And of course, creating gigs that showcase your talent. Staying online doesn't affect your Fiverr exposure, so it's a waste of time..

Well not everyone sees the same results, they are dynamic and will be different based on every person's input and filters, etc. That being said, if the gigs are seen as active, they appear in search. However, things like bad private reviews or bad performance for your gigs will affect your exposure, since Fiverr will push people with better performance...

Same, as I said in this thread, my success manager said the drop has to do with first time buyers. So yeah, I am very hesitant when it comes to taking on new customers, as that can be extremely challenging...

If you read this thread, obviously not. You worked for that person, not for eBay.

Have you tried to press Save? It will highlight what details you need to add, at least that's what happened in my case.

Obviously you can't send that either....

Intuition. There are clear signs that a message is spam. Normally a serious buyer will contact you to talk about a potential order and stuff they need. If someone sends random links or files not related to an order, don't open them. It's common sense. And even then, make sure that you have antivirus or anti-malware installed to detect any potential viruses.

A cancellation is only taken into account for the next 60 days. Once the 60 days pass, you should be fine. You might receive less impressions and messages, but canceling is way better than having the first review a very bad one. Since these cancellations are measured only for a 60-day period, and then they are not taken into consideration. What you can do? Try to create more gigs, improve the ones you have, work on your skills, promote your gigs wherever you can. And stay positive, focus on improving stuff. Don't just wait for orders to arrive out of nowhere....

So you created multiple accounts trying to cheat the system? You are not allowed to have more than one Fiverr account. Fiverr will disable all accounts and you can't create new ones. If you do, they will disable all your new accounts.

So I have it only on a gig that rarely receives orders, but it does seem to work pretty well. The thing is, a lot of people want to place an order directly. The fact that they need to wait for you to reply to a message disrupts that fast experience and instant gratification of placing an order. I think it all depends on your pricepoint. For higher pricepoint gigs, people always need to contact first anyway. But if you have a smaller pricepoint, then I can see Request to Order affecting you. I am curious, the number of clicks is similar to previous months?

I am in the same boat. I had issues with a few first time buyers, and also a couple cancellations from scammers. For me February was okish, but March was a disaster. April seems to be more like March, but hopefully things turn out great..

Well promoted gigs won't provide you any specific return. You might earn 10x or 20x the amount you pay, or you can end up overspending and getting less than half of your money back, as it happened to Frank and other forum members. That's why it's a good idea to stick with a smaller cap, if possible.
