[Which words are forbidden to use on Fiverr when communicating?]

I used one today when I told a buyer to contact me in my inbox instead of on the order page. I got the red sign that I shouldn’t give my contact details. I changed the word “contact” to “message”.

contact

pay

paypal

money

email

those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

I think ■■■■■ might be one too. That one must be really highly forbidden since it doesn’t even show up here. It’s that well used message system that starts with an “S”.

The other platform Up**** is also blocked. So I assume any other freelance sites names cannot be mentioned.

Right? What is wrong with 4.7 / 5? That’s 94%, if you got that grade on a test or exam you’d be over the moon!

A 4.7 might be okay (it didn’t used to be when level requirements were 4.8) but a 4.3 or less 60 day average could cause a demotion and prevent you sending offers to buyer requests if the average (not sure if 60 day or all time) is < 4.5. If Fiverr had diffeent level requirements, where it didn’t require at least 4.7 for every level there’d be less reason to have an issue about ‘lower’ ratings (even though one low rating can stop orders really).

That’s 94%, if you got that grade on a test or exam you’d be over the moon!

While it’s 94% it’s not really equivalent to 94% in a test/exam. In a test you could get 0 questions right and get a score of 0%. It’s not possible to get 0% in the Fiverr ratings since you can’t give 0 stars. So with the lowest rating of 1 star you get 20% on Fiverr.

Fair point. I was just agreeing with the comment that it is still a good score, and trying to give it some context by changing it to a %

I find it incredulous that so many new and inexperienced sellers claim their buyer ‘accidentally’ left feedback of 4.7 or 4.3 for example. There is likely to be nothing accidental about it! These are deliberate, considered feedback scores - and they’re actually good feedback scores!

But too many sellers think they are entitled to perfect 5 star feedback. They get annoyed when they don’t receive it, they then message the buyer or even customer support asking for the feedback to be upgraded, and they’re then surprised when they get an account warning.

And therein lies the root cause of many sellers problems: entitlement. Entitlement to sales, to good reviews, to help / sales from other sellers, etc.
