After having been on the receiving end of this feature, I have thoughts. I submitted my order two days ago and the client just extended the review period by 5 days, making the entire review time a painful total of 7 days. This is preposterous to me.
This seems to highly favor clients. Its going to delay orders completed in general and most if not all buyers are going to abuse this. So why even give the option of increasing the review period, just make the 5 days official, make it more easier for the buyers to keep the project open.🤷♀️
On a serious note, sellers often have to work around tight deadlines and wait on buyers to accept or decline, even a days increase of the timeline. This feature should also be a mutual decision of both buyers and sellers, as sellers have to be on the receiving end of its consequences. Fiverr already increases the review period arounds holidays.
I fear this 'test' is going to go the same direction as the 'review' change which we know is unfair to sellers and going to go permanent.
