I'm getting absolutely bugger all from Fiverr lately. My last message was 3 weeks ago from a buyer requesting a service I don't provide and my last order was in January?! I'm quite well established on Fiverr and a conscientious seller; I've tried adjusting my pricing and promoting my gigs, but I don't appear to have any visibility. I have great reviews and a strong track record, although I suspect my demotion from Level 2 seller to New Seller more than once may have something to do with it. I've been penalised several times for missing the odd message - sometimes these are spam messages mind you - and responding outside 24 hours. Rectifying the impact this has on my response time is impossible when I'm not getting new messages to respond to. Help! I've reduced my rate and am currently promoting the two gigs that are eligible for promotion. What more can I do? Bleh. Thank you ❤️

Thanks for your reply. 🙂 That's so kind of you to try and provide someone with work. Not something you should have to contend with on a 'professional' platform, but still. The trouble with waiting for follow up messages without replying or blocking right away is that it affects your response rate. That's what I'm finding anyway. It seems you have to respond in one way or another - and promptly - or be penalised. Anywho, congratulations on your proposals. 🙄☺️

It can't just be me that experiences inappropriate messaging on Fiverr, but when I browsed the forum this morning I couldn't find anyone discussing it. So here I am. It's exactly what you think it is - predominantly male users, some with female profile pictures (I suspect these are still males based on experience) appearing in my inbox asking for NSFW (not safe for work) content, asking how I am, can we be friends, mentions of underwear etc. I no longer reply to messages of simply 'Hi' or 'Hello how are you?' and have learnt to block those users immediately. But it bugs me. Of course it bugs me. If nothing else it's a waste of my time and attention. I'm a voiceover artist and I wonder whether (I suspect) female VO aritsts are more prone to this kind of messaging? Fiverr doesnt always feel like a safe, professional space and I wonder who among us share this experience. Just wanted to open this up for discussion. Its definitely not just me.
