Oh my god! This the the greatest reply anyone could've given, thank you @frzakirhossen, I don't know what I would've done without this answer.😭

Hello Forum, I'm from India, have been working on this platform for around a year, I have been inactive for the few past months due to passport visa process as I'm doing an MBA course from France, while I'm planning my move there I wanted to ask you guys that if I want to keep my account active for some extra cheese 😬, how should I go about it? I'm hoping to do some side jobs in the country but I want to keep this road open. As always really appreciate the community. Thank you!

Yeah I guess I can take the late remark once, although this is weird that I cannot ask for an extension, as long as a client agrees. Also being late 1 day or 60 days takes the same hit, right? Taking a hit without cause 🤡

But won't this affect my stats, I say again the order is already delayed by 60 days, and cancelling the order sounds a bit scary as although the client is good but I learned it the hard way once that a contract is a contract, people would stab you in the back if there are no repercussions.

Okay so Fiverr has a limit of asking for extension, I had an order with an old client, and usually he goes for subscription but this time we did a huge order and he would deliver me the resources Time and time so I did not care about the delivery date. Now the order is 60 days late and I want to deliver, I went on to ask for an extension, but there is a limit where you can ask for only upto 60 days. How can I resolve this guys, HELP!

@anniejenkinson Hope you're doing well, so I really don't care about the de-indexing, just don't want to get demoted, because it means something to me, I've plenty regular clients who would only order from me, I want to keep working with them, creates enough revenue for me, and I take on new clients only when I really want to work with them. I know it might seem a bit unorthodoxy but this approach is working for me and gives me an extended rope of understanding with my clients.

@mariashtelle1 Hope you're having a great day, I see that side too, and I don't want to waste more of their time, like let's say I ask for an extension, but I'm just not in the mental space to do the work, that's bad for the client too and I don't care as much about the ranking as of now, just don't want to get demoted, like don't put me on the first page, but don't take away my Seller 2 badge, I have plenty clients who would work with me, if I put out good work. Although I've made peace with it, I should say that this demotion(has not yet happened to me) is more punishment for costing Fiverr the money they thought they'll make.

Please don't reply, if you don't understand my question, Limiting the order is for people dealing with a lot of orders and want to take only a certain amount, I can take those many orders, but I'm not in the mental state to work right now.

@cartoon_avatar Most of my current clients know the quality of work I put out, regardless I think that's wrong to pawn off my work to someone else, definitely wrong for the client.

Hi Forum, This is going to be a weird ask, last week I had 20 orders in queue, and I completed 5 orders and cancelled 5 orders because something came up and I can't complete the work, this dropped my completion rate to 92%, now I have another 10 orders, but I just need a break, and yeah I don't want to ask my clients for an extension, because that timer gives me anxiety when I'm on a break, I just want to clear my dashboard. So, is there a way I can do this without a demotion, because if I cancel anymore orders I'll definitely level down. If there's no way out, I want to know the consequences if I cancel more orders.

Hi there, It is one of those situations where if it bothers you then you're right to block them, but if you're satisfied with your price, and the buyer is easy to work with, I'd say what's the loss, even if he/she makes a new gig, they'll come to you to hire, more business for you. I've had clients who outsource work to me and it used to bother me earlier, but now I'm fine with it 🙂 Hope this answers your question.

@joyh97You super smart person, I guess this is the right choice to make, I can shoot a text to my regular clients, and I'll test out new prices, if they don't work, I can just return to those prices. Why didn't I think of this, thanks a ton Joy. @smashradioI understand your point, and although I'm good at what I do, but lately I'm not getting time to keep up skilling myself, just pumping out orders, playing race against time, what @joyh97 suggested would give me enough time to explore more in my background without crippling my business income. Thanks to both of you guys, I really appreciate your response 🙂

@smashradio That is very well said, I completely agree and that was my go to mindset when I started out six months back, but I'm seeing some top rated seller in my category, they're definitely not working alone, because I'm a video editor and I can hardly edit 30 videos a month, and they have 80 orders in queue which is impossibe for a single person to handle, charging less than me, so won't buyers move to them as they are cheap and have more than 1K reviews.

Thanks @joyh97@smashradio for that quick response, now I have been thinking about this for a while now is that the service that I offer is already considered expensive comparing to some of the sellers who offer similar services, but not as expensive as it is being offered outside the marketplace. I want to increase the price, like I'm literally sleeping 4 hours, but doing so will lead to losing a lot of regular clients. In a bit of a pickle here guys. 🥲

Hi people, so I've started getting a lot of orders(touch wood), but that causes me to ask for multiple extensions from a single client and although I stay professional and try to give them an even better product, to still get good reviews, but recently I've started letting the orders lat and very late for my regular clients who I'm comfortable that I can talk about an extension later on. So If I let them get late but later on extend the order duration, will it affect my stats. Thanking in anticipation.

If you've done the work and the client is requesting revisions just so because you offer unlimited revisions, he/she is just trying to rattle you into cancelling the order. Revision Table tennis can be frustrating, and even if he/she decides to complete the order, I'm pretty sure, you'll get a bad review. It's just bad luck man, try contacting CS, maybe they'll have a better solution.

Ah you're right, I just remembered I slept while working on a project, I might have delivered it late, thanks for replying so quickly, really appreciate it. So this will go away after 60 days, right? I mean back to 100%?

Nothing showing up in the late section

So just now I saw my Delivery on Time drop to 98% from 100%, but I've delivered every order on time, the orders that are showing late are in revision, but I had delivered them on time, am I not understanding something? Thanking in anticipation

I see what you did there 😏

Thanks 🙂

Hi everyone, So I'll increase my prices once I cross the level 2 mark. I have a few subscription orders, will they be locked in at the previous price or they'll be revised too. Thanks.

Thank you so much for the quick replies. Really appreciate it 😄

Damn, it's going to be a tough conversation, does cancelling the subscription constitute as an order cancellation? Also thanks for the reply 🙂

Hi everyone, So I got my first subscription order and it's set on a monthly basis(1 order will be placed every month). But the buyer might want to order from me again in a week, so can we modify the subscription, or can they start the order whenever they want. Thanks 🙂
