Hi all, Hope everyone reading this is doing great. Fiverr updated Earning page and calculation method a week ago and quite frankly it's ambiguous and chaotic. 'Cleared Earning' is now the actual money one has earned which has no apparent benefit over the previous implementation. I don't even know how much I have earned in this month since clearance is always 7 or 14 days away which would cross into next month after the 20th. I just want to see at a given point in time how much I have made this month and I can't do that. Pending Clearance also includes earning from last month if I'm in first 10 days of a month which means there's no way to know how much I have earned in the running month. This is all so ambiguous and chaotic. Should I keep an Excel sheet now to know this basic thing? When it first updated I thought Fiverr was testing some stuff or there was a bug but looks like it is here to stay. Not sure what benefit does this give to Fiverr or users compared to previous implementation. Any words from fellow sellers or moderators here? Regards

You are absolutely correct there. Communication is already very important if there’s a deal between two people who are meeting in person. What that deal goes online, it becomes even more important to make sure communication is top notch since it is the only way to guarantee smooth progress. And communication does wonders for sellers and buyers alike. I have seen it for myself.

In my few years at Fiverr, most scammers I have encountered sent me phishing links and PDFs to trap me. Others have tried to take me out of Fiverr. These are the two most common types I have found here. What helps the MOST is seeing how they communicate. Most scammers use a template that the send to multiple buyers. The tone, the words, the vibes clearly show it’s all fake. So definitely keep an eye on that. Lastly, great job putting this together. It’d certainly help many.
