No, I wasn't. I was a 17 year old kid who just wanted to make quick money. 10 years later, I have travelled the world, got married, bought my dream car, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars (providing exceptional customer service and solutions to clients). So, is it fair to take into account my amateur thinking 10 years ago?

It isn't a pointless "update". Just notice the difference in your rankings and success score in the next few days. Were you this sane 5 years ago? No, right? We evolve and so do our skills. Taking into account our performance in the last 2 years is more transparent and relevant than evaluating your performance based on who and how you performed in "2013".

You're thinking too much about it, I feel. Toxic buyers are rare. No one is so evil to just manipulate some one every time. I feel you feel scared because you encounter such buyers and behaviors too often. Maybe increase the price to filter out such buyers and possibilities. It doesn't make sense that a buyer will "under-rate" someone who just over-delivered. For me, this update is just like any other update where it makes me provide excellent service.

I'd say these updates sound fair enough to me. p.s. did anyone else noticed 0 impressions in gig metrics on all their gigs today or is it just me?

I'm not quite sure what exactly you were expecting from your success manager? They do provide pretty good insights which are not "rumors" and are always available to help you out (talking from personal experience). Their job is to tell you what you need to do to optimize your profile and earning potential on Fiverr. Although, I have interacted with my Seller success manager only twice. Once via email and once via zoom. It definitely helped me alot and I actually never needed anymore dedicated support. For me, the much glamorous side of a Seller Plus is those amazing insights we get and I believe $29 is a very fair price for the value "Seller Plus" program provides. So, I would advise you to enroll in it (if you can afford) as once you get used to it, you just can't go back.

It's a very useful feature. I've took "Cash Advance" twice in one year. Once of $2500 and once for $2000 and it took me about 2 months to pay them back the full amount so it's a pretty handy feature if you have a good cash flow on Fiverr or else you'd be paying them back for years. And, it's not a "loan". It's a credit and there is no pressure on you to pay back to them in a certain time. They only deduct from the sales you make so if you make no sales - no problem. No pressure. But, still, it's never good to be in debt and I won't recommend to avail this feature for any specific reason.

It's great feature and I've been using it from the last 4 months. The insights are just amazing and given the fact that it's provided to only selected sellers who can clearly afford it. Fiverr isn't forcing anyone to sign up for it. Take it or leave it.
