Well, depending on where you live, it is still April 1 until Midnight.
If it is April 2 where you are, then you have something to contact Fiverr CS about.
Good luck.

The Gig Rotation period is unknown.
If we all knew that it was 12.5 days or whatever, I can assure you that some Sellers would game the system and you would be posting on the Forum the question:
“Why Do Some Sellers Beat The Fiverr Rotation?” or something like that.
Just be patient.
The rotation will get back to you sooner or later.
You can speed it up by not telling your friends to join Fiverr as that will reduce the number of Gigs getting rotated.

Right, I am doing the same within ToS but I was curious if Fiverr sends such warnings to buyers as well or they just do it for sellers ignoring the buyers practicing such things violating ToS?
Again…I wouldn’t worry about who gets a warning and who doesn’t.
You got one.
Now you have to abide.
Good luck.

If I were you, I would just concentrate on doing your own thing and not worrying about what other Sellers are up to.
Fiverr gave you a warning.
Use that as your incentive to build your freelance business within the framework of the Fiverr ToS.
The others don’t matter to what you are doing.
Good luck.

I was seriously ill off-and-on this past year.
I went Out of Office frequently.
It didn’t seem to have a negative impact and allowed me to get well without the added stress of trying to explain to Buyers that I wasn’t really at the point where I could provide top quality service.

Pretty simple, the message from Fiverr said they don’t qualify anymore.
There are requirements to meet in order to have the Promoted Gigs feature.
To be clear on what they are, review the Fiverr ToS which should explain all you need to know.
If you qualified once, you probably will qualify again…provided you meet all the requirements.

From your Gig description:
Mining Bot are automated programs developed as lines of code by their creators and are made to sneak on to a user’s computing device.
Is this legal?
Asking for a friend.

You only have two reviews…one for 5-Stars and one for 4.7-Stars that appears to be blank.
Is that your concern?

no! I just read some seller experience, it makes me worried, I
should prepare me mentally, what should I do if it happens to me?
Thanks for your Reply
Like I’ve said, if you haven’t done anything wrong, don’t worry about it.
I would go over the Fiverr ToS just as a refresher so you know what some of the things are that can get you a warning from Fiverr are.
As for Buyers, there are some that will be difficult to work with.
They exist.
Just do your best, follow the Fiverr rules and you’ll be fine.

can you explain to me?
Sounds to me that you are leaving out some details.
Why do you think a Buyer will open a dispute against you?

You sound worried.
Did you do something that you think a Buyer will go after you for?
Hopefully not.
You could block the Buyer if you suspect they will cause you problems.
Otherwise, if you didn’t do anything wrong, don’t get paranoid.

Okay.
You’ve reached out to Fiverr CS.
Have you reached out to your bank?
I say this only because sometimes the glitch is with clearance time required at the individual bank.
If that doesn’t work, I’d try contacting Fiverr CS again.

I list each job AS IT IS RECEIVED.
The only exception being jobs with early deadlines.
Those get bumped up the queue.
Yup, basically the same for me as well
I think so far the biggest number of orders I’ve had from Fiverr was around 6 or so, (I know some people have more than 15 jobs in queue, for me that’s crazy and I don’t know how they handle it!!! ) I just go down the list in order.
If I have a gig that needs to be delivered in 24 hours, of course I work on that first.
Sometimes I go the old fashion way and use post-its to help me keep track of some gigs, but usually the Fiverr dashboard is enough.
It’s an easy method, isn’t it?
I should add that I do have a few “special” clients I’ll bump up the queue as well, but typically everyone gets done in order.

I am a full-time freelancer.
I get Fiverr and non-Fiverr work.
What I do is I keep a list on a lined paper notebook.
I list each job AS IT IS RECEIVED.
If it has an early deadline, I make note of the deadline.
Then I work on each job in the order they are received.

I change my Gigs frequently.
Each time I do they dip in numbers as Fiverr approves the changes.
Then they eventually get back on track.
Yours will, too.
Don’t panic.
It’s part of how the system works.

That’s an interesting thought.
I just received my first payment in a cryptocurrency this morning at a non-Fiverr platform I’ve been on for years.
I was just thinking that it would be cool if Fiverr were to do the same.
Since it is a publicly traded company, why not create a Fiverr cryptocurrency that could only be used here by Buyers for Sellers?
It could be a good idea and, has already been noted, would likely clamp down on fraud.

I’m a fan of both.
I am currently using Firefox but was using Chrome for years.

Fees are on everything.
If you have every received a Christmas Bonus at a job, don’t think that there wasn’t tax taken off of that.
A Tip on Fiverr is the same thing.
Be thankful you got a Tip.
Even if all you get to pocket is a bit of it.
Imagine what it would be like if Fiverr didn’t have fees.
Then you and I and everyone else would have to pay a Membership Fee to be here.
I bet that would cost more than the fees they currently take from us.
Something to think about.

I can’t cancel for two points: This is not my fault and i don’t know if this is some kind of scam? We sellers can’t cancel so easy
Well, then I wish you luck.
You posted on the Forum looking for advice.
We’ve given it to you.
Good luck, but you’ll discover that you are wasting your time fighting over an order the Buyer doesn’t want.

I get your point of view, but my GIG title is very clear about what i delivery… and in my gig description is written what i don’t do. For me is really confuse of how some person accept an offer without read what i’ll provide.
After spend days working on the project i don’t will cancel, all the informations was very clearly…
I think you don’t quite understand me.
The Buyer decided to cancel.
You can’t do much about it.
Plus, it doesn’t matter how detailed you are in your profile or Gig descriptions…some Buyers won’t read any of it.

If the Buyer says it is not what they are looking for, that’s why they cancelled the order.
I would accept the cancellation and move on.
You will encounter some Buyers who do this.
It’s not fair to new Sellers, but it happens.

Wow, you’ve had, are having an interesting life.
Just wondering if you actually write for yourself? Fiction, non-fiction?
Thanks.
Actually, I have and I left that out as I didn’t want to sound like I was self-promoting myself.
I currently have 7 titles (e-Books) that I sell at a popular online e-Book platform.
I have also self-published a volume of poetry of mine.
I’m sure there’s more I’m forgetting.
My profile at another business-oriented social network listed all of my work.
I self-published a number of booklets related to local history.
I think I’ve completed a total of 16 titles including the e-Books.
As you can tell, I don’t really keep track of it…lol

Hmmm.
Where do I start?
I’m George and I have 40+ years of experience in Media.
I have spent 20+ years in Broadcasting (DJ, news reporter, morning show host, advertising sales, advertising voice over and production, advertising script writing, music director, janitor, transmitter level reader, coffee maker, etc.) and ended that career as the Assistant Manager of the radio station in the community I have settled in, in Southern British Columbia, Canada.
My second career started in 2000 when I was hired as the Advertising Sales Manager for a small local weekly newspaper. That involved all aspects of print advertising including graphic design, etc. In 2004, I bought the paper and became the President/Publisher/Owner. That included all the activities you would expect of a business owner plus all editorial duties. I also took a lot of photos for the paper. My wife assisted with all the clerical work.
I started my third career quite by accident. In 2014, when things were getting hard for the newspaper, I turned to the internet looking for some way to generate some extra income. I eventually came upon the idea of doing some freelance writing on the side. Since I was already doing this in my business, why not have some fun writing blogs for other people online?
I found a lot of success doing that an became a full-time freelance writer in 2016. We ended up closing the newspaper business down shortly before that.
I’ve been freelancing since.
Other stuff about me: I’m heavily involved in my local community as a volunteer. I’ve been either the President or Vice President of many of the non-profits that operate in our community. In 2016 I was honoured by the Rotary Club with a Paul Harris Fellowship - the highest honour Rotary issues to members or community leaders.
As if I’m not busy enough, in October 2018 I was elected to our local Town Council and am currently serving a 4-year term as a local civic politician.
That should be enough of an intro on me.

The thread where we talk about your process
in My Fiverr Experience
Posted
Interesting question.
As a freelance writer, I will write between 50,000 and 75,000 words a month.
This is for blogs, articles, etc.
My process is fairly simple.
I use Fiverr for part-time income as I have numerous sources for freelance work. So, each day I have at least one writing job to complete. I write six half days (9AM-2PM, with a lunch break) a week.
Once I’ve determined what article(s) I will be working on for the next writing session, I will put about an hour or two the night before into research. Sometimes it’s basic stuff, other times it’s a bit more intense if I’m trying to “learn” more about a topic I’m writing about.
Out of my research, I’ll have notes, things pulled off the internet and instructions from the client. I put all of this into a Word Document where it makes sense to me and print it out so I have hard copy to refer to.
The following morning I go to the upstairs office after breakfast and a shower. I will review my notes, re-read the clients instructions and start writing. Once an article is finished, I proofread, then I’ll run it through Grammarly (just in case) to help tighten it up. I’ll proofread a second time, then submit. All of my finished work is at least 90% first draft with some tweaks.
Either I move on to another article or I am done for the day. After dinner/supper I go back to my research cycle and go from there.
For me, it’s a simple system that works well. I’ve been writing since high school and spent the better part of the past 40 years as a news reporter (radio/newspaper) among other media tasks so being able to churn out decent first drafts is common for me.
I hope this helps.
