You are very right. He has a lot going good for him, like the promoted feature, which a lot of people don't have. in addition, my gigs no longer appear in search results. What are people like us going to do? Well, we are gonna keep doing our best.

It is not only you that is experiencing the decline. The past 1 - 2 years have been on a decline in terms of revenue. A lot of people are complaining. Fiverr should change their strategy to cater for everyone.

And for some sellers, that feature is not even available to them. Looks like some sellers are more important than others.

How does one "perform better" if one is not getting sales?

The promoted gig feature is not available to me. Are there specific sellers it is available to?

I hope this doesn't come back to bite you in the you-know-what.

All over the forum, a lot of people are complaining that they are not getting orders and can't be found in search results. Here you are complaining about what people are begging for. LOL.

Have you tried increasing your delivery time?

Well, they are a mixed bag. There are individuals behind those badges. The individuals are more important here, not the badges.

But why would a performing gig be removed? This is ridiculous! And once it is removed, kiss that gig bye bye. Fiverr in 2023............?

Since last year.

This idea of removing people's gigs from search doesn't cut it anymore. Maybe the algorithm should be reworked. There are people who have paid their dues here and deserve to be treated as such. They shouldn't be complaining about their gigs being removed from search. Till this moment, none of my gigs appears on search even though they are "active".

Great feature for those who need it.

Well, I became a level two seller over 6 years ago. Still a level 2 seller and has never been demoted. Fiverr keeps saying they pick manually. Meanwhile, people that started selling "yesterday" have become TRS. Doesn't make me feel any good. All I know is that there is nothing I can do about it because I have met all the criteria three times over. Maybe one day, the Fiverr gods will smile on me.

Just look around and you will definitely find the changes Fiverr wants you to make to your gigs.

Nothing wrong with Fiverr checking if your messages breach their TOS. As long as you reply that communication outside of Fiverr is prohibited and goes ahead to mark the message as spam, you are good to go.

I have issues with clicking on links on Fiverr. For the safety of my account, I don't.

I have tried everything. Mine doesn't appear even when I copy and search the exact title.

How do I do this?

There is a lot we don't know as sellers. You can never tell. I would think there shouldn't be any difference between direct orders and custom orders.

At the expense of sellers and buyers? Well, you gotta keep your investors happy, right?

I used to see my gigs when I search for them back in the day, but I can't these days when I search even the title. Even when I tell other Fiverr sellers to search for me, they can't find me. Yea, my gigs are active, but this is unsettling. I have messaged support about this. All I hear is that your gigs are active; you have nothing to worry about. But here I am, dying silently because if I can't be found on search results, how am I gonna make sales? For someone who has been on Fiverr since 2014, and have brought in tens of thousands of dollars in sales, it is very painful when this type of thing happens.

25k impression? Wow! I wish I had that kind of number.
