Couldn't be any much clearer. Thank you!

Hello. A potential buyer asked me for my linkedin without any context (I write resumes). Not that it's any secret as the profile is public, but just wanted to check how everyone feels about it as I felt slightly uneasy for some reason. I definitely wouldn't share emails or personal spaces but was wondering how everyone does with LinkedIn.

what you said makes sense while this root cause needs to be addressed in some form that's for certain because a problem does exist. I understand it's not a linear solution that makes entire world a better place with one feature fix and I'm hoping fiverr team is looking into this more holistically. It's also an lesson for me that when your gut feeling tells me something's off, then best to cancel the order early on because I had that weird that gut feeling but decided to proceed with the order and indeed I am facing consequences of that decision now because I already put in too much time on this one. I have already taken actions to satisfy the client as you suggested so hopefully I can close this once and for all.

Actually I posted this after reading your post (it was a great post and 100% agreed). A problem is there is no single guard rail for sellers. I understand there are problematic buyers and sellers which could probably led to this extension feature but being able to close was one of the last guard rails when working with difficult clients. So sneaky ones now they know what to do now. I'm trying to think positive and focus on other orders and let time pass with income generation from other orders (I also meet a lot of great and awesome buyers whom I really do my best to help even after the order close).

How did this feature even get approved? I've been a fiverr freelancer for a few years and ever since unlimited review extensions showed up, I'm having multiple orders that are getting review extended for the smallest things and for no reason sometime (you need additional 5 days to review a single word change I made and busy???). I'm already working with a very difficult client and I already went above and beyond (3 revisions in a package, but provided 6, very demanding customer) and now that the order is almost complete, he now started using review extension feature, extending by 5 days (obviously this is getting abused because the order has been going for a month now and now that order is coming to a close, buyer now starts extending the review itself when there is nothing to change anymore). I gently encourage them what else I can do to help close the order like a good fiverr freelancer, but I'm really mentally stressed and depressed now for several weeks now.

I've been a freelancer for three years now, and even since review extension feature got implemented, it became very difficult for me to close the order because seller keeps extending review period by 5 additional days. For example, the order that typically takes no more than two weeks is now taking more than a month to close because some buyers basically keep extending it. I'm doing my best to satisfy the client 100% at this point (already met all deliverable requirements but they keep extending for small things) I think there needs to be at least some form of # of limits to extensions or something.

Hi, folks. So I took a one year break and recently came back and luckily, the orders started coming in again, but for one of the orders, the person 'extended the review period' by five days which didn't exist last year when I left. Typically some buyers tried to take advantage of this by requesting revision without any files to revise, then I could eventually resubmit initial deliverable in a polite way after a few days of waiting and reminder which worked out well, but this 5 day extension doesn't seem to have any safety mechanism for sellers???? because I'm reading a lot of complaints on this on the internet. So far the buyer only extended once so we will see how it goes if the buyer is a nice person, but I can tell some cunning buyers will take advantage of this and play dragging game.

Hello, recently I decided to expand my gigs to try out helping out job candidates with mock interviews or career counselling via video calls. The question is I was wondering what the best way to do this is because my main gig is on writing, so it was just asynchronously exchanging documents after the order comes, but for counselling/mock interviews, what's the best way to organize this or set up (does fiverr have dedicated webcam conferencing option or I need to send them Google Hangout link, meet up, I record the session for proof? Any help appreciated.

maybe even this?

Hello. I have a writing gig and decided to start a second gig focused on interview coaching and was wondering what general setup needs to be. Do I for example, once some places an order, I provide Google Hangouts link or something to chat there or is there some technology/setup that Fiverr internally has that I can leverage? basically trying to figure out how this video interview coaching gig workflow should be. For writing, it was just sharing word doc back and forth so it was straight forward, but wasnt sure about the interview gig. Any advice appreciated.

Hello. I've been active as a seller but since few days ago I noticed that my gig orders in queue is shown as -1 where I'm confused. This resulted in my impressions being zero so I was wondering if anyone experienced something similar. I've also contacted fiverr support to see what's going on.

so I got a popup asking to verify my identity, so I click on ‘verify ID’, link is sent to my cellphone, but when I tap on the link provided, I am shown ‘verify your identity’ page again, stuck in a loop. Any advice on this appreciated if any experience similar.
