None of that was in any way discussing a technology that would run your life, and BTW, notice they did not ask professors, they asked artists.
He also said in that video "they talked to scientists, businessmen and thinkers of the day to compile a list of innovations".
So the artists could have been drawing what those scientists etc. had thought.
edit: removed other bit. I read it as "without disclosure" not "with disclosure" of ai generated.
though it still might be risky copyright-wise to create AI generated (not "ai assisted") books on KDP (though for ai assisted - KDP's definition - that could leave the content detectable as AI content whereas the human edited AI generated one probably wouldn't so the AI assisted might sometimes seem more AI-like than AI generated).

You can but your gig's URL will stay the same.
Also you shouldn't really make the title so different that it doesn't seem to be the same service (if you have reviews on it).

I wasn't able to respond or address their request as I was unaware of their messages. In fact, I was out of internet, and yes, I was mentally exhausted and completely forgot about the order.

You could have (and still could) answer their messages in the Fiverr inbox if the order was completed. Though if it was 10 months ago it's probably too long ago for that (they might have the answers to their questions now). You could see if it's possible to still enter a reply to the review (by going to the bottom of the order page) if you wanted to say something there and still offer to help with their questions, since adding a polite reply to the rating might help if other buyers see it.

Ratings: Dashboard one or Profile?
I know we should maintain both ratings very well but still which one is important?
I was thinking it could be the dashboard (thinking it could be based on more recent info and so affect levels and success score) but they say:
QuoteRating - Reflects the average of ratings provided by clients you’ve worked with. This is the same rating that is seen on your profile. Learn more with Reviews and ratings.
so it probably will get made the same at some point.

Even weirder is strong negative impact in satisfaction and strong positive impact in value for money, for the same gig. How's that ever possible?
Maybe they would have preferred a few more free revisions to change things in the way they wanted, but were otherwise very satisfied with things.

See this post:
The reason (or one of them) the overall success score isn't an average of your gigs' success scores is because according to the above post:
QuoteThe overall success score takes into account your Gig scores. Gigs with higher order volumes have a greater impact on your score, while those with fewer orders contribute less.
So if you had more orders in the last 2 years (which seems to be the time-frame it takes into account) on gig A than gig B then gig A would have more impact on the success score than gig B.
Also if you had orders from other gigs in the last 2 years but paused or deleted some of those gigs they might still affect your success score (since some people tried deleting gigs but it didn't change their score). Though you could check that with CS/staff/check if their forum posts mention that.

Should I report?
Yes, it would be best to report the message so other people don't get scammed by the user and so Fiverr staff know. And in theory it should keep your response rate high (if they fixed the bug where it didn't and you had to reply to spam).

You need to update the app to see it correctly with the new system (if they have updated it for your device).
It's a bit of a bug though how the old system was working (there's no set date for monthly evaluations now, so maybe it was still showing that date even though it wasn't set).

do you know when we will be back to level 1 again when we will be promoted?is this a big of flagged account because my account is flagged also
It would be best to ask Fiverr support or staff on the forum. Maybe if it said you couldn't be included in the rating system because of a warning that's what happens but check with CS.
The levels page says:
QuoteWe understand the flexibility of freelancing, so we’ve tailored the system to fit your dynamic needs. Now you can advance to the next level within a day* by meeting the level criteria. You'll also have a 30-day grace period to work on improving any metrics, so you can maintain your status and avoid a level drop.
The bottom line?
This means faster advancements and more time to improve.
*This applies to Level 1 and Level 2. Top Rated requires a manual evaluation.

hi any body knows the reason of demoting ??
Check this link. https://www.fiverr.com/cp/freelancers-levels-ratings
it gives requirements for the levels - maybe one of your stats dropped lower than the requirement for the level. Though I thought sellers were supposed to get 30 days grace period before demotion, but maybe they started that 30 days ago without saying.

(It should be 3.5k I think, can't be bothered to check)
It showed 3.0K yesterday according to Bing cache. It thinks you have 3019 ratings, so rounds to 3.0K.
The 1/1/1970 thing is because of Unix time/epoch so they've not initialised a variable properly but using it anyway probably. And maybe the 31/12/1969 ones are because of a different timezone / that they usually do the evaluation a day earlier I'm guessing.

they'll diversify into other categories.
but they'll have less chance to diversify if they can only add 4 gigs in total due to their level or 10 gigs total/active (for level 2) when previously they could have more.

Then why are they grading it that way?
That makes zero sense.
If a gig is holding you back- removing it should remove the barrier.It probably could improve things with enough time.
eg. if someone has a gig (gig A) that their buyer's didn't rate as high as buyers rated their other gigs in the orders made in the last few years on it, deleting gig A now wouldn't have an immediate effect as the system would still see the past orders with the lower rating created in the last 2 years. But if it was deleted and replaced with a gig that people would rate better then that would help (after enough new orders). Or if it was deleted and then enough time passed so the orders from it were removed from the (eg. 2 year) window then it would eventually help improve the success score (though the seller might get less orders that way).
44 minutes ago, priyank_mod said:Gig deletion actually helps Fiverr - it kinda unclogs the system and leaves relatively better performing/quality/relevant gigs in the marketplace.
Though it also gives less variety to their listings. Buyers might be less likely to find the gig they want. Fiver already had all the stats on each so they could rank them (or exclude from search) however they wanted. Removing the slightly worse performing gigs will also give them less data. Limiting the number of active gigs in levels 2 and 0 now will limit Fiverr's earnings as well as the sellers'. It won't be just the less good gigs that get removed. Even if all their gigs were good, sellers will be a lot more limited in the amount of gigs they can have active (apart from those who can keep the ones they already created).
In their Q2 2023 shareholder letter Fiverr said:
QuoteCatalog expansion continues to be a key strategy for us. Not only does it provide a revenue growth engine, it also adds defensibility to our business, and drives upsell and cross-sell opportunities that increase retention and engagement for our buyers. In Q2’23, we added more than 20 new categories, with the total number of categories now approaching 700.
If they keep increasing the number of subcategories how are they going to get sellers to sell in each of those with enough gigs if they are now putting a lot lower limits on level 0 & level 2 seller for the amount of gigs they can have & have active?

I'm secretly wondering if the update has already happened but because of the 30-day grace periods/etc. the differences aren't very obvious just yet?

*This applies to Level 1 and Level 2. Top Rated requires a manual evaluation.
so the grace period would be if you were going to drop a level. So I assume if you were going to advance levels compared to what it shows on the public profile it would show the updated level stuff some time today.

Anyone wanna help me -
Click on the success score then look at the gigs it shows and their scores and look at the hints it gives about each that it gives them for.
Maybe check your competitors and see what they're offering. eg. if they're offering more of something (such as brand names) maybe you could try increasing the number a bit or maybe offer a revision if you think it might help. Maybe alter things based on reviews too if it could help.

asking me to join on Telegram and inquire for more info on the project there. That seemed strange to me. Why not on this platform?
At the top of the inbox page when you get a new message it says (or does on mine):
QuoteFor added safety and your protection, keep payments and communications within Fiverr
The terms of service: https://www.fiverr.com/legal-portal/legal-terms/terms-of-service
says:
QuoteRequesting or providing Email addresses, s***e/IM usernames, telephone numbers or any other personal contact details to communicate outside of Fiverr in order to circumvent or abuse the Fiverr messaging system or Fiverr platform is not permitted.
So never contact anyone outside of Fiverr as it would be against Fiverr's rules and could get an account warning. If someone asks you to contact them on Telegram you can say it's not allowed because of Fiverr rules and can report their post if it seems an obvious scam.

It's similar type of phishing as in this page where they try to get people to scan a fake QR code (not from Fiverr even though it says "Fiverr" on it) that sends them a bad link but has "Fiverr" in the URL and the Fiverr system allows users to put "Fiverr Support" in their display name (which makes people think it's real). The scammers then try to get people to enter their card details and then try to withdraw their money. Though the first image looks different (it's hard to tell exactly as it's cut off).

That's just the sellers though. It can be the buyers that do it (and there's millions of buyers and probably less than million sellers).
But since there are a quite a lot of sellers with "Fiverr" in their username, like I suggested, they could put something above the inbox message saying that it wasn't official Fiverr staff/Fiverr (to help reduce the chance of phishing) if the message is from an existing user with "Fiverr" in the username. Though it's probably newer accounts that might do that and more likely buyer-only accounts (no gig). But they could prevent new users from using it in their username and display name.
Though there's no search option for us for display name and the buyers who scam can put "Fiverr Support" in their display name. It would be really easy for them to check though.

A TRS in my category - primary gig image is a presentation ON/ABOUT Fiverr. This single screenshot has used different variants of Fiverr logo like 8-10 time
Maybe for gig images the checker doesn't detect it if it's not the whole image. If it's a smaller Fiverr logo in the corner of the image or there's a lot of other differences in the whole image compared to one online then it probably won't think there's a match. It also might depend on when that gig image was created (whether it was added/re-added before or after the "non-original image" check was added).

It shouldn't be difficult. Especially since nobody but Fiverr is supposed to use Fiverr's logo (and that includes gig images, not just profile pictures).
They already check gig images and then give "not an original image" message (or warning/deny gigs for it) if it exists somewhere on the web. Either they're not checking profile image or they're not checking the buyer's profile image when they should be.

I think the tricky part is that Fiverr technically does warn us about screening links (I think) and files in the TOS and about communicating outside of the platform.
In the "handling orders" section of the TOS https://www.fiverr.com/legal-portal/legal-terms/terms-of-service it says:
QuoteUsers are responsible for scanning all transferred files for viruses and malware. Fiverr will not be held responsible for any damages which might occur due to site usage, use of content or files transferred.
Though the phishing/fraud wasn't in an order.
It does say:
Quote* Fiverr does not provide protection for users who interact outside of the Fiverr platform.
* All information and file exchanges must be performed exclusively on Fiverr's platform.
but the intial messages took place on Fiverr and it seemed to them that clicking the QR code was part of Fiverr's system (even though it wasn't), and they most likely thought the fiverr.othersite.com was actually Fiverr.
There's the page about safety but it gives similar info as above:
https://help.fiverr.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011175377-Fiverr-seller-safety-best-practices
QuoteKeep transactions on Fiverr.Com
Buyers who want you to provide services outside of Fiverr.com are not only violating our Terms of Service, they’re subjecting you to potential fraud.We are only able to protect you as long as you conduct your transaction on the Fiverr platform.It's not giving info on what they should avoid to prevent getting scammed by these Fiverr inbox messages and phishing.-

If you can't avoid this type of scam, your ability to do professional work in certain fields kind of comes into question
For new users who don't know as much about how Fiverr works who get a message from "Fiverr support" (display name), with Fiverr's logo on things very soon after creating their first gig it won't be as easy for them to know if it's fake compared to someone who has been on Fiverr for a lot longer and knows how it all works and what to check.
Maybe Fiverr could have warnings for people who sign up and maybe others to give them things to look out for for spotting phishing on Fiverr (as well as they could alter their systems to make it less likely to happen again).

Would this be against Fiverr's TOS?
in Questions
Posted · Edited by uk1000
If the services you are providing are different it would be okay I think. eg. 3 gigs providing different styles of logo would be okay (eg. 1 for "modern logo", another for "handwritten logo" etc.
Though in your case - will there be any differences in the service, photography or deliveries you send etc? If yes then it should be okay I think.
But also having quite similar now might be less of a good idea than before as now in levels 0 and 2 you can have less gigs/active gigs than before. eg. so for unlevelled sellers you only get 4 gigs - and if you use them all for things you could easily do in 1 gig it might limit too much other gigs you create for more services that are more different.
If there are only slight differences in the service for each you could put somewhere "Amazon, Ebay or Etsy photography" (if there's no rules against that) and mentioning those somewhere in the gig might still allow it to be found in the search for each of those (though what's in the gig title is best for searches).
