That's not what I said. What I said is that they should be using a Likert scale, and they indeed use it for their own surveys (CS for example), but they are deliberately not using it for seller ratings, which is evidently unfair and skewed.

All those accounts should be banned immediately. Obvious targeted attack.

I'm an agency, I've been asking to be an agency, officially, for the longest time, to have multiple member accounts, etc. and I don't have that option. I make it clear we are two people in my profile, gigs, etc., if my account isn't presented differently from a personal account it's Fiverr's fault, not mine. I'd love to be able to present as an agency.

On the other hand, I had someone book a call the other day (since calls can't be RTO, like the rest of the gigs - WHY), and that made me have to work with them, pretty much. When someone pays for a call, if I find during the call I'm not a good fit for them, or they don't want to pay my prices, what can I do? Tell them no? And get screwed on the call review? It's extremely dangerous.

100% subscribed, this could have been written by me. It's exactly the problem I have with this system, even if it's not affecting me at all at the moment - Fiverr treats all sellers the same way - with constant mistrust. -Doesn't matter if they sell for $5 or $5000 -Doesn't matter if they are a new seller or TRS -Doesn't matter if they cancel orders to fix problems or have no cancelations for over a year. It's tiring to be treated with permanent suspicion. Fiverr needs to clean the platform, but this is just not the right way to do it.

Having a higher average selling price is good. Having more reviews and completed orders is good. Having repeated clients is good. No one knows what the algorithm prefers, I can't say which one would be better, it depends on many variables and information we don't have.

You get the e-mail and notification a day after an order is marked as complete, it doesn't matter if you leave public feedback or not. This is in the e-mail you receive:

We're also buyers on Fiverr so posting this here for those who are not familiar with the private feedback form. Same punitive language with 5 stars being "perfect" and "exceeded expectations".

I'm not sure I trust you, I always thought it was valley.

In any case, Fiverr's market cap is around 1B now. Most definitions consider someone to be a major shareholder if they own 10-20% of a companies stock, but even if we go by an extremely conservative 1%, that would be a position of over 10M in Fiverr stock. If I had that kind of money, 1)it wouldn't be invested on this and 2) I certainly wouldn't be selling here.

I mean, could be priced in, I guess. Do you feel lucky? In any case, nobody knows what the stock market will do in the short term, and I highly doubt anyone here is a "major" shareholder. I certainly hope they aren't, otherwise the SEC may be interested if they're going around influencing other people's opinion on buying or selling the stock, that's dangerously close to stock manipulation. *none of the above is financial advice, I have no idea what I'm saying, thank you*

Well, I can. Q4 Earnings report on the 22nd.

A ton of scammers have been sending this type of message, always linking to a website to try to get my card details through various means - saying I have an order already paid for, saying I need to verify my profile, etc. Always obvious scams, but this must be working on clueless beginners.

Seriously, this has been increasing a lot lately.

So, did you get your?

How to implode publicly speedrun world record? Maybe.

Hopefully on the way out from the main platform as well. Professional marketplace and scam "services" don't mix. Maybe that vertical can all light some candles and sacrifice some chickens to change the new level system, let's see how that works.

Not a webinar, but I was actually thinking of launching a podcast. Want to be my first guest?

I went to their webinars a couple times. Not any longer. I'll only go to places where I can talk back and listened to, I'm not gonna be lectured to, specially by people who know much less than me. They can keep their worthless webinars full of meksells or do them to no audience at all for all I care.

Wrong moment.

Yes, and I'm also a buyer select on top of all that! Anyone with more meaningless badges? This is a challenge!

You are safe from that with RTO. Why would anyone accept clients placing orders out of the blue is beyond me at this point.

Well, that ain't good. That's a ~20% cancelation rate, which is pretty horrible. That wouldn't qualify you to level up in the old system either, regardless of "success scores", so in your case it makes sense it counts as strong negative impact.

It does matter, because there's a 4.7 cut off for TRS. With a 4 value for money, the max review you can get is 4.7, so any single review lower than that will instantly drop you.

Buyer ratings are meaningless. 1 - Buyers have nothing to lose. Get a low rated buyer account? Close it, open a new one. 2 - Buyers are never under pressure by sellers. They aren't on display. They don't lose their living over bad reviews. It doesn't matter how sellers rate buyers, whatsoever. Just get rid of reviews on buyers altogether.
