[New Buyers should buy from Established Sellers]

No she's right.  Unfortunately there has been a literal flood of scammers and spammers from a very specific geographic location who steal from other sellers gigs, lie about their qualifications and then steal from buyers. Until a pay wall for sellers, or some other form of verification and vetting is put in place, we must assume that most new sellers are too risky, and should be avoided.

Your disapproval should not be aimed a buyer who has been burned, and is now, therefore very cautious. You should be disappointed in the scammers from that certain location who are ruining it for all new sellers. I have not seen you take any of them to task here in the forums.  

Our advice remains, filter and purchase only from TRS/PRO or Level 2 sellers with over 200 5 star reviews. 

OK. I respect your opinion. But tell me one thing. What about the rising talents, who have potentials. You're saying about level two? why ? are level 1 seller not qualified didn't they make out through the hardship? you're being quite a selfish type who is giving others wrong advice in my opinion. and you have plenty of options to deal with with the seller. You can buy a cheap-Price demo. Then you can decide whether or not. Don't spread toxicity, please

May you have a good day. Arigato(Thanks)

2. Look for sellers with at least 200 reviews. This will ensure the reviews are legit. Unfortunately, there are still scammers who buy or trade reviews.

Isn't this a bit harsh to say? Sellers among whom have really good experience in the real world rather than the online marketplace. And having a new account is a burden because many people don't even want to buy anything seeing a new seller account. so what will we do if we have new accounts? We can't bring 200 reviews magically right?

[I want to update my gig.]

Here are my thoughts on gig updates...

If you feel that the changes you're making will help your gig stand out or will more clearly describe the services you offer, then by all means, make the improvements. 

By Updating the gig info or title you may loose your gig ranking

I would prioritize long term optimization over short term visibility.

hope that helps
