[Disallow Download Feature on Source File before Accepting Order]

Just like the title. I won't risk giving my source file on delivery, get it downloaded by client, and get cancelled. 

 

Hope to see this simple yet impactful change, asap. 

[Allow Fiverr Username Change]

old reviews will mention your old name and it will be confusing for new buyers.

When we ask for a feature to allow username to change, we mean it universally. No any past name left in the site. And to reduce confusion, we can let the buyer know that we've changed our name maybe by giving notification or include it in our profile "previously (past name)". And I believe that there is a way to make it so that no one can use used username.

the thing is, a lot of people would manipulate the system and change their name often, trying to copy the name of succesful sellers and then include an asterisk,

If you read previous comments on this topic, they are talking about limiting the maximum amount of name changing (2-3 maximum), even the mods themselves.

I had many impersonators and people copying my gigs, so I can definitely see how the name change would be manipulated. 

Well, of course we can not get rid of the fact that there might be some people who use this feature with negative intend, but I believe it will bring more goods than bads. And we can always report those who prioritize in cheating.

Or you just think properly from the beginning and choose the right name.

What I see "right" as a zero experience seller in Fiverr might be different with what I see right after some months of experience selling in Fiverr. You may be the seller that doesn't have any concerns with your name for years and I'm happy for that. But for my case, and maybe for some other sellers too, this can be a way for me to be more comfortable selling in Fiverr with an Identity I wish to be.

 

note: pardon my grammar since I'm not a native speaker and still is learning.

[Allow Fiverr Username Change]

Plus, it would be unprofessional to change the username, as people would just believe you are someone else. What if I changed my current username to happyflower3025? Customers would be confused and they would see me as unprofessional. 

Ever heard of Re-branding? We also don't intend to change our name to some random nouns with numbers name like happyflower3025, we want to change our name to other professional name that may change my branding and whole theme of my page. As the Original Poster said:

Businesses evolve and change and with that also most of the time the Branding of the person/company, and not to being able to change a Username I think is a bad design decision, If Fiverr is afraid of too often changes then just allow it every few months and notify all past customers that the name has changed, I don’t see any problem with this. The only static thing of us should be our ID in the Fiverr Database and not our Usernames.

Just because you don't need it, doesn't mean others too.

[Different Requirements for Different Package]

The information we needed to start doing the work is different for every package we offer. Sometimes my buyer who bought a $5 package end up inserting information that only a $10 package buyer should have did. It could end up in confusion when I say that I can't do certain offer for my buyer when he already told me how to do it in the requirement.

I know there is a "not required" option and I can also write in each requirement that this is for certain package only. But still, sometimes the buyer could be careless enough to actually write on the requirement field that aren't match with the package they chose.

Hence, I would suggest a change in the Requirements system so that it will show different requirement based on the package the buyer chose.
