I just checked my profile AGAIN...Now it's back to a 6 success score. ??????? Also, my dashboard says I'm a Level 1...one of your screen shots says I'm a Level 1 and the other screen shot says Level 2.

One more payment to clear and then I'm outta here! I woke up this morning to a warning from Fiverr that my success score has fallen below the requirements to maintain my crappy Level 1 status, WTF!!!??? Yesterday my success score was 6...this morning 0! There's no reason for the score to completely disappear!!!!! The last 5 completed jobs got me 5 star reviews and tips!!!!! What the hell is Fiverr doing????? All my hard work over 10yrs. has been flushed down the toilet by Fiverr!!!! So, since your crappy leveling system was launched in March...I went from a Level 2 to a Level 1 for no clear reason. Since March my gig requests have dropped from 2 or 3 a week to 1 every 3 weeks. Since Mar. I've gotten 5 star reviews and tips...but my success score has gone from 6 to 0 OVERNIGHT!!! Thank god I don't count on Fiverr to earn a living. So why stay???? Fiverr's level system is anything but transparent. Fiverr use to be a great marketplace platform. But now Fiverr is bottom of the barrel. I give Fiverr a -0 success score and a Level 0.

I was hoping that Fiverr would make adjustments to its new level system...but that's not going to happen. After 10yrs. on Fiverr, today I paused my 2 gigs and will wait for the rest of my earnings to clear before I deactivate my account. This has been a tough decision, but Fiverr has made the road to success full of impossible roadblocks like "private reviews" and a success score that never moves despite 5 star reviews and tips. I'm not sure why Fiverr has made things so difficult for sellers to succeed. Their new system lacks the transparency they boast about. Fiverr has turned into an automated, AI robot. Being a seller on Fiverr now feels like a greyhound running as fast as it can around the track in hopes of catching that fox. I'm tired of being a greyhound running as fast as I can around Fiverr's track to impossible success.

I've been with Fiverr for 10yrs. and with the new level system, I feel more in the dark than ever before. Since the launch of the new level system, I have received 4 five star reviews and a couple of tips. However, my success score has not moved at all! What does it take to make progress? It's a mystery. Only Fiverr knows. There are sooo many ways my numbers can take a dive overnight! But to move my numbers in a positive direction takes an act of God. There's NO transparency! Fiverr's private reviews are a complete joke. I have no way of knowing what a client is saying about me with their private review...but those reviews affect my overall numbers...really stupid. This is not transparency! With the new level system, my level dropped from a level 2 to a level 1 with no explanation! Now that I'm a level 1, the quality of my gig requests has gone down. I now receive "bottom of the barrel" gig requests that make "near nothing" money. Through no fault of my own, I feel like I've been forced to start all over again and climb the Fiverr mountain to where I once was a month ago. Fiverr has once again "moved the goal posts" to success.

You are completely right! That's why I keep hanging around hoping things will change. I've really enjoyed my time at Fiverr. But they keep "moving the goal post" when it comes to moving up a level. I'm tired of playing games with these nitwits. They claim the new system is more transparent for the seller? What a bunch of BS. It's more transparent for anybody BUT the seller. I believe Fiverr has some hidden agenda...somehow this new system must put more money in Fiverr's pocket. It ALWAYS comes down to money.

You are SPOT ON!! I've completed 3 orders and all have gotten 5 star ratings...yet my success score is dropping. IT MAKES NO SENSE. I'm so disgusted with Fiverr. I keep hanging on thinking Fiverr will dump their crappy success score nonsense. But I know that will probably not happen.

Dear Fiverr, After 10yrs. of being a Fiverr seller with consistent gig orders...my gig requests have all dried up. I blame this on your new level system since this stoppage occur shortly after your official launch of the new leveling system. I'm very disappointed and have accepted that my time at Fiverr is possibly over. Over the years I have highly recommended Fiverr to friends and students. The Fiverr platform, at one time, ran smoothly with a few bumps in the road...but nothing is perfect. Your new, "transparent" platform is a disaster for many of your long-time sellers and I will no longer be recommending Fiverr to anyone. I would like to wish Fiverr "good luck" with your new leveling system....but I'd be lying.

Whelp....it's been almost a month since the big screw over....err...I mean switch over to the new, exciting level system on Fiverr! I dropped to a Level 1 which was a thrill after 10yrs. of hard work to reach Level 2. Since Mar. 14th I've received ONE voice over job...ONE. A BIG Thanks to Fiverr for destroying what was a steady stream of income.

Thanks for the clarification.

I have a client who is requesting a revision a week after their job has been completed. I feel like I have to do whatever the client wants or I risk getting a bad review which will lower my stats on Fiverr and I can't afford that to happen! I'm at the mercy of the client despite our original agreement which was 1 revision. How do I handle this? These revisions could go on forever due to fear of a bad review and my stats taking a hit.

Thanks for the explanation. Could they make their new system any more convoluted??? 🤪 It seems the road to the top is full of dangerous switchbacks and potholes....don't get too close too the edge or you'll fall over the side never to return. Transparency at its worst.

I offer 2 gigs on Fiverr. One has a success score of 8 and the other one has a success score of 6. Why is my overall success score a 6? Shouldn't it be an average between 8 and 6? That would make my overall success score a 7. Please tell me what I'm getting wrong about this logic. Thanks!

I've noticed recently that if my rating drops from 5 to 4.9 after 1 private review...which I can't see (this is insane)....I then have to claw and scratch my way back to 5. My stats can drop SOOOO EASILY. But the journey back to the top can take weeks. Why? The most baffling change in Fiverr's new "transparent" system...is the mysterious private review. All I know is I've received only 5 star reviews for many years. But, apparently I had a private review recently which caused my rating to drop to 4.9. This new ratings system makes the 5 star reviews that I CAN SEE...worthless to me. I did contact CS asking why the rating drop and I received a response claiming my rating was 5 not 4.9. This is NOT true. Whoever responded to my question was looking at my stats that will soon disappear (Level 2 with a 5 star rating) and be replaced by a Level 1 with a 4.9 star rating. This new level system is deeply flawed and Fiverr, once again, has sellers by the short hairs...OUCH.

Sorry to hear that. I keep reading about "private reviews" that the seller can't see but these private reviews can affect your rating...makes no sense.

I'm a little confused as to why my rating score has dropped in the last 24hrs. from 5 to 4.9? All of my client reviews have been 5 stars for years.
