I’m at a point where I don’t care if the Buyer is unhappy about getting a bad review. My reviews are fair and not over the top. I’ve not gone lower than 3 stars yet. If the Buyer/Reseller was being difficult, I want my fellow Fiverr sellers to be aware of this. If it affects their seller status, so be it. Respect is a two way street. And chances are if one seller has had a bad experience but was too afraid to post a negative review, there are plenty of others who also have had this experience.

I’m just curious. I feel as sellers, we often feel obligated to leave 5 Stars even if the experience with the buyer hasn’t been great. If I’ve had a difficult Buyer, I’ll often look at their reviews from sellers, and think to myself…well this was certainly not my experience. To that end, I’ve started leaving what I think are fair reviews of Buyers. Just honest write ups of my experiences. For example. I had a Buyer who is also a Seller, who tried to avoid paying my rush delivery fee and became quite argumentative…but upon looking at her gig, lo and behold, she charges the same rush fee on her gigs…so…why are you haggling with me over my charges? My review was polite and factual. I noted that it’s frustrating as a seller to have to haggle my prices with a Buyer who also offers the same gig extras in her seller profile. I don’t leave 1 star when I write these Buyer reviews…but I don’t give them 5 stars either. It really depends on the experience. So…that being said, since I never seem to see sellers leaving bad reviews on buyers…am I in the minority here? Just curious. Have a great day Fiverr-ians
