It's almost final. Still we need to wait till 14th March for final update. But from my knowledge, this is final. Nothing will be changed sure!

Yes I'm agree with you. Fiverr updated their rating system but they did not update the ranking algorithm . The old ranking algorithm is only ranking the gigs who are outforming with highiest 5 star ratings and other standards like professionalism, worth the money, communication etc. If they are all green fiverr will give ranking to the gig otherwise not. But I believe fiverr algorithm will fail this way and it will not rank the gigs in a fair way. Not sure how the fiverr engineers worked this time. I asked the client in a polite way what I can do to improve my communication leve and what they say was horrible. The client said "Oh this low rating was sent accidently and he was not willing to do it" Now at this point as per my experience 80% of buyers have no time to send the ticket to fiverr customer support to change the review and we are stuck day by day. And if we force the buyer somehow to reach the customer support then our customer experience will become bad and can make them uncomfortable too. I strongly believe fiverr should take an action to make the rating system improve like the other platform where they enable the buyers to change the ratings by themselves by clicking the button "Change feedback" if fiverr wants to run this way @Kesha if you find the time please guide us how we can make better the way

If we say the client " I noticed your recent review and would appreciate any feedback on how I could improve." and they notice that they left a negative rating they get embarras . This is what that let them down. I don't want to let them embaras because I understand this is not a good way to do business. Fiverr the recent review update will ruin the either sellers or buyers but the one to have be . I bet you will have to change this policy later or soon but after sacrisfying our accounts. @Kesha 

[The weired rating system]

Recently a happy customer left an awesome review for my service. He was so happy what I delivered to him. But new and weird rating system that is indeed a gift for us left 4.7 out of 5 review instead of 5 stars. I guess in a few months we sellers will be out from platform because the buyers really don't know that they are leaving the negative reatings. Fiverr assumes buyers are very technical but they are not. Fiverr should be fair with sellers this time and don't do such like things. Now we can't ask the buyer to change the rating because it is clearly stated below the rating system "

OUR POLICY

Ratings and reviews are subjective and reflect the buyer’s individual experience.

It is against Fiverr’s Community Standards to manipulate, pressure, or ask for the removal or modification of a published review or rating."

Fiverr assumes buyer can handle the new updated rating system in a honest way but it is not true. @Kesha Is there anyone here to listen our sellers concerns?.

[Seeking Community Input: Gig Denial Situation - Need Your Expertise]

Thanks for the guidline. I contacted with customer support and they restored the gig. I put stars symbols in the gig description and it triggered the fiverr to deny it. 

[Seeking Community Input: Gig Denial Situation - Need Your Expertise]

I hope this message finds you well. I recently encountered an unexpected challenge with my Fiverr gig. Despite making what I believed to be routine adjustments by updating the tags to better reflect the services I offer, my gig was denied.

I've carefully reviewed Fiverr's guidelines and ensured that the new tags align with the nature of my gig. However, I'm still grappling with the denial and seeking insights from this knowledgeable community.

If any of you have faced a similar situation or have suggestions on how to navigate this, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. How did you handle gig denials related to tag changes? Are there specific steps or considerations I might have missed?

Your collective experience and wisdom are invaluable, and I believe your input could shed light on potential solutions. Thank you in advance for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Best regards,

Ghazanfar Abbas

Chile, south america,

Well, I have reviewed your profile and you are awesome with your services. I love nature

[Fiverr skill tests should remove]

Here is one thing note able as many seller just watch youtube to pass the skill test and manipulate the test system.Also the most of buyers don’t see test score and they just focus on feedbacks.So it’s better to remove test system :roll_eyes:

[Fiverr skill tests should remove]

A leading freelance Marketplace ****** has decided to not taking skill test and to remove pre-existing skill test badges on seller profile .That is good decision for new freelancers as i think?
So what you all community members think fiverr should also take same decision like that?

[Sellers are totally unprotected]

If the buyer does not like something, then the seller has no mechanisms to protect their work.

Only two options:

1. Either the seller will receive payment, and then negative feedback.
2. Either the seller will not receive payment.

For a long time working as a freelancer, I ran into an orgus number of customers who do not know what they want, cannot clearly articulate their requirements, and are constantly dissatisfied with everything wihtout any reasons (without any constructive criticism).

Either the seller will not receive payment.

It is more possible :roll_eyes:

To my experience, you will receive notification 12 hrs after 00:00 GMT.

The server needs time to arrange many things so you can expect to be promoted on 2pm your time.

so you can expect to be promoted on 2pm your time.

Everyone knows and even fiverr highlights it everywhere. And it was even written on the screenshot on the other post you commented. It’s GMT

Pakistan Standard Time / National Time is 5 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time ( GMT +5).

Here according to fiverr 00:00 GMT

Here now in pakistan is 9:22 AM
