  1. I like this, the apology and now if you just do one more… it’s all good. 👍

    We are all Americans after all. You can’t assume that English is someone’s second language, that was kind of, well you know.

    Eh, it’s fine. Not all of us are American, although I get the mistake a lot when I tell people I’ve lived in Asia.

    Questionable statements aside, I just don’t enjoy being psychoanalyzed (incorrectly) each time I comment on a thread with how I’d do something a certain way.

    This is an issue that is already implied in the rules considering that a forum is essentially a PG13 place.

    I’m not undervaluing anyone’s gigs. I’m just saying that people are more willing to go towards gigs that have more reviews, and that I’m no exception.

    No need to be rude, my dude.

  3. Yes, but does that mean you have to go through all new sellers and give them a try just because you’re feeling compassionate? Some people might; I wouldn’t.

    @somaginer1996 You sound selfish because you fear competition from other writers being that English is not your native language…

    Weren’t you wishing to make your first sale when you first started on fiverr? Weren’t you wishing that a buyer would give you a chance even though you were new and a novice with no reviews on fiverr when you first started?

    Its time to give new sellers with no reviews on fiverr a chance just like how you were give a chance when you first started

    That’s…actually racist, dude. I’m American.

    You can’t demand me give new sellers a chance if I just don’t want to. Seriously though, what’s with the attitude? Just because I wished people gave me a chance doesn’t mean I have to do something I’m not willing to do.

  4. we can’t judge someone’s abilities and skills until we get a chance to work with them. life is full of good and bad experiences and this is the way we learn.

    Your ratio is off lady… Out a 100 reviews, there is nothing like a 100:1 ratio…You should have said a 99:1 ratio…See you like to hype things up by saying a 100:1 ratio…I hope you did not hype up your profile…

    Thanks for the rudeness! I’m a writer, I can’t be the best at math 😛 but you really don’t have to call me “lady”. Way to make me sound fussy!

    I wasn’t talking about my profile at all, but if you want to take it there…I mean, one 3.7 star review out of 95 isn’t bad. It’s technically not even a negative review lol.

  5. Yes, but that’s just the way the platform works. It’s not that I’m judging someone for being new; everyone was new at one point. It’s just that personally, I wouldn’t pick someone with no reviews over someone with many reviews just in the mindset that I’d be giving someone a chance.

    Anyone can lie about their qualifications and skills, but that’ll quickly fall through if you fail to do good work for clients.

    @somaginer1996 People with great reviews also fail to do great work on fiverr too because nobody is perfect… I have seen a lot of sellers with excellent reviews on fiverr that did a poor job there by rendering their previous great reviews worthless…

    Interesting. Are you a buyer? Is that how you know that people are delivering bad work after 100 reviews?

    Well, I’ll pose it this way. If someone has 100 good reviews and one negative review, and someone has no reviews, which one would you pick?

    No one is perfect, it’s true. But bad reviews can also come from bad buyers. And if I’m seeing a 100:1 radio on good/bad reviews, I’m still probably going to trust a seller unless the bad review reveals something that’s 100% the fault of the seller.

    @somaginer1996 A newbie of fiverr does not mean that someone is a novice…Some one might have been working for a corporate office or at an office cubicle for years and then decided to go on their own by selling their services on fiverr because they excel at what they do…

  7. I was saying, if buyer will give the chance to the new seller, they can prove themselves and it’s the only way they can show their abilities. No doubt you gave your best and get the reward.

    Yeah, but is it really wise to rely on the buyer’s discretion?

    No doubt, the buyer has to make the choice, but you have to justify it. You’ll need to make the best gig possible, and even then it won’t guarantee you orders.

  8. I agree with your opinion, but when you were a novice here with a few reviews, someone picked you over someone with hundred reviews. Everyone has to start with something, I don’t think it’s a bad adventure to hire a new seller.

    😉

    It’s not a “bad adventure”. I’m just saying that I personally wouldn’t pick a completely new seller.

    I got pretty lucky as well. For my very first gig on Fiverr, I was the only one who responded to a particular buyer request who could actually do the specific job that was requested, and that won me the gig. I was also very enthusiastic in responding to BR, and wrote very specific tailored requests instead of dashing out template responses.Ultimately that did me a lot of good and I built up a bunch of reviews.

    Even so, I’d definitely pick someone with more reviews over someone with fewer if I were personally trying to buy a service, unless price made it convenient not to.

  9. OK… If all buyers do same as you do when you select a seller ! Then for new sellers this marketplace will be so much harder.

    I mean…if someone’s looking for a service, can you really blame them for being very thorough when it comes to picking them?

    Personally, I wouldn’t pick a newbie with only a few reviews over someone with a few hundred. That’s just how things are.

  10. If it’s against TOS fiverr will take care of it, and I’m sure you can let them know about it and mention that you’d like to make sure the cancellation didn’t affect you as it was against TOS and they’ll take care of that.

    If they aren’t communicating with you, then you need to make sure that’s a first! A top priority should be that initial message, if not then making sure that you address the issue quickly, like if the issue is the timeframe, talk to them and send a extension of time request.

    I don’t think you should be punished at all, that’s not the issue. The issue is that the system is in place to protect the majority of users, which is why it supports the buyers, most sellers are doing there thing without much issue, which means this sort of issue is in the minority. As such, the discussion should be geared toward making it better, not re-adjusting a very well crafted system that protects most users.

    This is my opinion, feel free to disagree. Just think we’d have a much better time thinking of strategies we can implement to minimize this type of interactions rather than thinking of scenarios where the system favors the buyers and not the sellers.

    It’s definitely important to think of strategies, I just don’t think it’s fair that the strategies be a necessity when it comes to dealing with a flawed system in the first place. I’m overall pretty happy with the new system itself and haven’t had trouble maintaining my stats. The only thing that really bothers me is the whole mutual cancellation thing.

    Also, I’ve gotten word from CS that any mutual cancellation will count against your stats, no matter the circumstance, which seems pretty unfair. I had a client accidentally order twice, and that lowered my completion rate. No amount of good communication will resolve that issue–is that really fair?

    Of course it’s good to be productive when thinking of ways to resolve things, but some things can’t be resolved by us sellers. That’s why we can only offer up suggestions to the good people at CS/Fiverr headquarters and hope that the whole issue with mutual cancellation will be resolved.

    Plus, is it really a crime to blow off steam in the forum?

  11. I don’t know, I think this is a problem that can be easily fixed by putting yourself in the mind of the buyers and anticipating them. That’s my point. Most problems in sales are solved that way, including this one I think.

    I don’t think that actually is the problem. For example, what if someone places an order that’s against the TOS, or is something I don’t personally agree with and/or can’t reasonably complete within the given timeframe, and they do so without consulting me? Should I be punished for that?

    Under the current system, I would. You can’t anticipate that if they don’t communicate with you and refuse to read your gig description.

  12. Hey there, welcome! I’m not a teenager, but I am a college student, so definitely on the younger side (as evidenced by my terrible username…)
    I’d never really had real world jobs in the past either, partially due to living in a country where you can’t legally work under 18. For me, Fiverr has been an opportunity not only to earn cash, but also to hone the skills that I potentially want to make a living on in the future.
    It took me about five days to get my first job, and it’s been pretty good from there on out. I now have several returning clients, and they all seem satisfied with the work they’re receiving.
    I’d say that you shouldn’t offer up the fact that you’re on the younger side, but you also shouldn’t lie about it. Personally, I’ve never had any issues with buyers dismissing me because of my age, but you definitely do need to find something you’re reasonably good at. I’m not necessarily a professional writer, but I’ve still managed to gain work here. While credentials are useful, it’s more about meeting the requirements of your clients.
    Well, I’ll stop rambling for now. I’m on mobile so I can’t click through, but what’s your gig about?

  13. I feel like if you already noted in the FAQ or gig description that buyers should contact you separately for bulk orders and they fail to do it, that’s kind of on them. In that case, you could just mention it with a delivery as someone to keep in mind for next time.
    But then again, it wouldn’t be a bad thing at all for them to not have taken that into account. What’s not to love about making more off of an order?

  14. Yes, that’s enough. But i think it will give advantage to submit an offer.

    Honestly I can’t really see that. For a job, wouldn’t the most important part be the job and terms itself instead of the username/country of any buyer?

    And I agree with Woofy31; if you could see the country of a buyer, it enters the uncomfortable area of allowing people to discriminate against buyers from certain countries.

  15. No, But I think i will guess it. It’s not 100% but there have a high probability as well.

    What do you mean by fake requests? I’ve seen a lot of sellers posting there and some ridiculously low budgets, but nothing that would be truly classified as “fake”.

    (If it is the sellers thing, then wouldn’t reading about them describing their services be enough?)
