I think a lot of people feel the same. Donations to aid agencies will help, but I know not everyone is able to do that. Petitioning your government to extend current visas, waive new visa requirements and allow refugees to enter is one thing that just costs a bit of time. Joining peaceful protests / marches is another, they appear to be happening in dozens of countries. These are tangible actions that can have tangible effects.

I'm sad this post hasn't got more traction on the forum. It's great that fiverr is acknowledging the issues facing Ukrainian fiverr users at the moment. I also expect there isn't one fiverr seller in Ukraine that isn't suffering or distracted right now. Could fiverr guarantee to waive/wipe/remove any late delivery, cancellation or response time impact automatically from the sellers account if they are currently in Ukraine whilst this conflict rages? It would be wonderful to see fiverr going the extra mile at this time terrible time. This would also remove at least some tiny bit of worry/stress from a Ukrainian seller as they either head for a front line, a shelter or as a refugee to those wonderful neighbouring countries that are offering support and shelter. Users may not be able to access their accounts but hope to have an account with fair/accurate stats to return to. It would be a really nice touch by fiverr. If a buyer wants to cancel they can of course contact CS. I hope that peace and freedom prevails, and prevails quickly.

I was told by my SSM that repeat buyer score is based on the same buyer buying another gig from the same seller in the same category as their previous purchase. I don't think repeat buyer score should be limited by category but should instead just be based on the same buyer coming back to the same seller, regardless of gig or gig category. For example, I have buyers coming to me for career advice in the life coaching category, they then purchase a LinkedIn rewrite/optimization gig from me (a different category), followed by a purchase for interview coaching which is again in a different category. In this example I have successfully up sold and retained that buyer a further two times after the original purchase but it doesn't count as a repeat buyer in any way. I could make an offer and do the LinkedIn and interview coaching under the career advice gig, but I think this isn't accurate, would be gaming the repeat buyer score and may confuse the buyer which is why I don't. However it just doesn't seem right that I've had multiple repeat buyers and it just doesn't count towards my repeat buyer score. Perhaps there could be 2 types of repeat buyer scores, one at the seller level and one at the gig level. This may be confusing and I think having it at the seller level is more telling/accurate. The same goes for when I sell a business consultancy gig, then a business plan gig, the a LinkedIn optimization gig. Again, no repeat buyer score 😭 Having the trophy would be good for buyer confidence, but more importantly I assume fiver considers it when judging how a seller is performing and how it positions sellers on the platform, that's why I really care! Just my two cents 😀 🙏

Nice work Columbo (I don't mean that sarcastically!) Whether you qualify can change for a variety of reasons. It's not just based on your public reviews, but also the private reviews that fiver asks buyers for as well (these are more important than public reviews), as well as other factors. Additionally, as other buyers become eligible to use the option to promote gigs it may impact your ability to promote. Fiver is a marketplace, there is always ebb and flow. Just wait, do a good job and it should come back 🙂

do you mean unqualified for promoted gig feature? or...?

@benedictrm 's advice is great. I’d follow it. It’s not over yet I think. I think CS will do something, just be articulate, thorough and polite with them. So far I haven’t been disappointed with the service. So far…

It sucks you’re going through this, especially after putting so much time in. I’d be interested to know what support says so please do share when you hear. It sounds like it was cancelled by CS given you didn’t agree to the cancellation, or perhaps triggered by the buying cancelling the payment. Someone here knows more than me, drum roll…

It doesn’t matter how many people you block. This is a tool to protect sellers from fraudulent buyers. I don’t see it as a problem if you block people that try to manipulate the system, which purposefully rate you poorly or stuff like that. It’s just a great way to cleanse your Fiverr experience. This is something I’ve learned from you @donnovan86 and some others here. I’m now much more open to blocking and it makes my fiver experience less painful. If my spidey sense goes off then I politely decline and block. Life’s too short.

@vibronx some questions out of curiosity if you don’t mind… how long were you eligible to be TRS before it happened? Just wondering if it was quick once you hit the requirements or did you hit them a while ago? Also, if it was a while ago then did you make any meaningful changes recently to your profile or gigs that you think maybe satisfied the manual vetting process? I know each case is different but just wondering what your particular experience was 🙂

Very kind of you to say so. I hit level 2 myself yesterday, a long road to TRS but let’s see what happens, life is full of curve balls! Well done again 🙂

This is great news and thoroughly well deserved! I’m pleased for you. You add a ton of value to the forum and clearly your clients too. Fiver is lucky to have you and I’m glad they’ve recognised it. Bravo!

@shuvo14500 respectfully you seem to have no gigs and no ratings. I appreciate you trying to help but you are not giving good or helpful advice. Staying online 24/7 does not help. The best thing you can do @kellyvine is research the forum, most questions have already been answered. Check these out to start:

It’s holiday season in a lot of countries, some gigs become more popular because of it, but most gigs are less popular (buyers are on holiday). Anyway, you had a delivery 7 days ago, don’t panic, orders should start coming again soon. Stay positive 🙂

Ok. But I was able to message you, and you replied to my message. So I think this is a problem with the person who has messaged you. Not with you. I think your account is fine. I think maybe this person is both a buyer and a seller. I think maybe they have been spamming buyers and so now cannot send new messages. Maybe. Also, the message he sent does look like spam to me, it does not make sense.

I had no problem messaging you image767×410 34.5 KB

Worked for me… image1129×502 79.9 KB

Send your fiver profile link, ill try to message you…

Contact support and ask, be friendly, they want to help (in my experience) and you need to know what happened so it doesn’t happen again!

Hang on… looking again it says you’ve been a seller for 60 days? So you must have got a warning for it to reset. I would contact fiver support and ask them…

my pleasure, it’s nice to be nice!

This is fine! You have to get to 30 days without warning to get to level 1. Tomorrow it will show 4/30 (assuming you don’t get a warning!)
