    sanda5, fonthaunt, annai80 (I think she changed her name to Anna on the forum?), and sue_mcl. Last I checked they still had their badges despite not having posted much (or at all) for years. I have seen annai take actions on my posts (or threads I posted in), although she hadn't posted since 2019 last I checked.

    That is simply not true. I can mention a few names, but it is not allowed to negatively call out users, so I will not do that. EDIT: I can only conclude that Fiverr does not view spam the same way that its regular forum users do. Therefore, we should not expect any elimination of spam. Got it.

    Also, if I may add, it is quite rude to dismiss @mariashtelle1in this way and criticize her communication without trying to understand why she said what she did. Then again, we can go in a circle, and you can criticize my communication, too, but I am done being vague and subtle, so I will be totally direct and honest with my feedback as that is the only way to be heard here. The fact is that I have never seen a forum in my 15+ years of being active online where spam is allowed to run this rampant. On any other site, the problem would have been dealt with. Not here. A kind of related thing, since I have your attention: I have mentioned this many times in feedback, a video call with someone working on your team, and a CS ticket, but we have a number of moderators who still have the badge and sometimes take actions in silence although they have not posted anything on the forum in years. Is forum moderator supposed to be an eternal position? Since you talked about transparency in communication, do you think it is very transparent to moderate in complete silence without letting us know what is being done or why?

    Okay, I was boycotting the forum for a variety of reasons (most importantly, the spam), but I have to break my boycott early for this. What is being done in so many threads here on the forum is clearly spam. Many users have made their voices heard about the enormous amount of spam on this forum during the past year. Something that has only gotten worse on the new forum. It is one of the main feedbacks for the forum being shared. But for some reason, it keeps being ignored. It seems Fiverr Fiverr clearly does not care about the quality of the posts here but rather about the quantity. Like you only care about being able to share that forum participation has gone up by x% instead of focusing on the experience worsening for the regular members. Also, I suspect you might get a different view of the "spam messages" if you actually hung out more on the forum. As far as I recall, you had a total of 2 days of read time on the old forum, which is not really a lot over the span of several years. Maybe you should try an "Undercover Boss"?

    I am pretty certain that a buyer will be asked to leave private feedback about 24 hours after the order has been marked as complete. So a buyer should be able to leave private feedback without leaving a public review. However, I cannot be 100% sure as I always leave a review for sellers. I purchased something a few days ago, and like @krheateI was only asked to leave private feedback after completing my order (I left a review). I was asked to leave private feedback the following day. Oh, and since the buyer is asked to leave private feedback after completing the order, a buyer could perhaps be tempted to leave negative private feedback as revenge for a seller leaving a less than 5-star review for the buyer. For this reason, it might be beneficial for a seller to only leave 5-star reviews for buyers unless they are absolutely sure that the buyer is going to be leaving a negative review. I don't like the way this is set up, but that's how it is.

    Me neither. It was just a fun side project for me in the beginning. The amount would have had to be very low for me to join back then. Also, putting a flat fee as high as $250 would make it very difficult for talented people from lower-income countries to join. I don't think Fiverr would want to make it almost impossible for people from certain parts of the world to start selling. That is not to say I would be totally against a fee. It would clean up the marketplace, which is sorely needed. I just think Fiverr has to be careful how high they put it.

    I would like to inform you all about a great feature of the new forum! If you go to your "private" messages, you are now able to see who has been eavesdropping on your conversations! If you are lucky like me, you might be able to see some enlightening results! 😍🥰

    Well, hello back, Vickie! 💬

    I hope to see many great threads and posts from you on the new forum! Also, I like the clouds on your cover!

      Hey, @vibronx, click on my cover image there is a lot more there than clouds! I took that picture in Glacier National Park on day when my family was there paddle boarding.

    Since my post a couple of hours ago, the sponsorship offers have been coming in left and right, and I am happy to announce that my profile is now sponsored by "Water"! 

    Remember to drink at least two liters a day, people! 🚰

      Everyone knows the "Water" company is a total sellout! They give their product away for free all the time, yet make a fortune in selling their "Water in Plastic" product line!

    2. vibronx

      vibronx

      Think of the plastic as DLC. The "Water" brand is only trying to enhance your experience just as EA does with their "Sims 4" DLCs. It is not at all about money, only the customer experience! 😍

    What are the monetization options like on this new forum????????? 🤑

    I agree with this. but don’t forget the feature of creating custom offers is there for sellers to create offers tailored for the requirement of the buyer, If everything can be done as the price showed in the gig packages Fiverr would’ve not added such a feature. That’s why I said: If the requirement belongs to the package, yes seller should not ask for more. If the requirement is too simple or too complex, the price can be low or high than displayed in the gig package. that wouldn’t be a ToS violation and that’s what I talked about. Just because the seller asked more doesn’t mean it’s a ToS violation. There are other facts to be added in according for it to be a ToS violation. That was the case here. I saw the profile of the seller in question before the link was removed. Sellers need to protect themselves by not stating something in their packages that they are not ready to fulfill at the stated price. Also, sellers should have clear packages and descriptions. Don’t just write “I will write anything for you until you are satisfied”, for example. As a buyer, I could go and order that gig directly and tell you to write 100 epics of 1000 pages each. Your gigs are clear. You say in your gigs that the price will depend on the task. That is completely fair, and that is not the problem I am talking about. This case had a seller who had a very vague package and description, as in my example above. Not as extreme, but the buyer could have ordered directly and reasonably expected the seller to write a full terms of service for their website, no matter how long. That is the problem with not being precise enough when creating gig descriptions or packages.
  19. vibronx
    Why would you report someone just because they asked for a higher price? It’s a right of the seller to ask whatever they wants, and it’s your right to find someone else if you don’t find a good rate from a seller. sellers can’t package everything they can do into only 3 packages. what they do is common packages for common requirements. Was your requirement common enough to fall into a package that the seller offered? If so you may think of reporting. If you think this platform is that terrible, and sellers are that terrible, and it wastes your time., why would you waste more of your time posting on the forum and stuff? you could move on to another platform where you have good prices. This is what I find, people come here expecting to get their work done for the cheapest possible. (I mean most of the buyers) that’s how Fiverr became famous. Like, get your work done for $5. but now things are different here. so when buyers don’t get the price they’re expecting they get mad. but what they don’t realize is that they’re already getting a massive discount compared to other freelance platforms. Because it is against Fiverr’s TOS to do bait-and-switch marketing, as stated in @imagination7413’s post. As someone who has bought a lot on Fiverr, this is something that I have found that sellers do a lot, and it’s incredibly annoying. I agree with the OP on that. That being said, the problem can be mitigated by not contacting sellers who offer services at prices that are too good to be true. They often turn out to be exactly that.

    Yes, that is why I always grow my beard out when I have a lot of orders in queue! It is an important step to keep the momentum going!
  21. vibronx
    It is certainly the most polite thing to do if they do not give you their name. And many won’t. I don’t give out my name to sellers/buyers anymore as some have tried to harass me on social media. Also, read this. It’s helpful to know what not to call your buyer:
  22. vibronx
    If your buyer does not give out their real name, they probably don’t want you to have it, and you should respect that. It is safest to just call them by their username.
  23. vibronx
    I don’t really see a fact. I see a generic claim. Once again I am not able to understand what it is you are talking about. How are you “granted access” to the “best buyers”? By bringing them to Fiverr on your own? Fiverr then rewards you somehow? I think @kendal1747 is saying that the people you bring from outside will help you level up, which will then bring better buyers - meaning the level will bring you buyers. That is how I read it, anyway. I think most buyers care much less about levels than us sellers do. Maybe TRS or Pro can help sway a buyer as they look shiny and different, but I think the offering is much more important than a level. I will add that you can get access to those same, higher quality buyers no matter your level through positioning. However, I do not advertise or promote outside of Fiverr. In my opinion, we have all the tools necessary to market our gigs effectively within the Fiverr platform itself. We are given millions of potential buyers within the platform and a thumbnail/video, pricing, titles, gig images, PDFs, and gig descriptions to attract them. That is more than enough for me to attract buyers successfully. Also, as @frank_d said, we will be getting the option to advertise off the platform soon through Fiverr, and I am looking forward to seeing what that brings. Lastly, thank you so much for creating this thread, Frank. It has been a very interesting read!

    As @vickiespencer said - some buyers feel more comfortable leaving their true opinion in a private review. Though, as a buyer who always leaves reviews and often buys a lot at a time, I find it a bit annoying to get notifications about leaving private feedback. I still do it anyway as I know it helps sellers, but I don’t like being asked to give feedback twice.
