it's clear that the AI still needs a LOT of data training to achieve what they want it to do, they're so focused on automating their platform that some sellers are going to pay for their errors

all these changes Fiverr has applied over the last year demonstrate that we're alone in this, they effectively care more about the buyers. I wish we'd have a feature to objectively rate buyers as much as they can rate us, including private reviews. Only we know how stressful it is to work with a buyer who abuses and asks for unlimited revisions, Fiverr has never done anything to limit how many revisions they can ask, why do I even get to set a number of revisions when I create a custom offer?? I have been a top-rated seller for over 2 years now, and the only reason I got this level and still maintain it is because I trust my gut and choose whom to work with. It's sad to see a marketplace like Fiverr fall into all this, they haven't realized yet that without us, they wouldn't have any "updates" to make in the first place.

Fiverr grants this option to certain sellers that reach certain level and stats. If you're above level 2, you should see this option pretty soon if your account qualifies for it. Good luck!

I've been getting messages from different people with a picture of one of my project that says: "this message is related to..." as if they'd been able to respond to this specific picture form one of my Gigs. Also, when I click on this picture, it has an "award" button as if people could grant this picture a positive qualification?? Does anybody knows what this is and how it works? I'm attaching some screenshots for you to see. Thanks!

although this is not explicitly said in the TOS, I wouldn't ask for a tip as well as for a positive order rating. This could lead to an account suspension or permanent ban.

mine still appears when I search for my Gig in incognito... Weird.

I've heard some cases of people getting back their TRS badge, not sure exactly how it works tho... I think your best bet is to wait and maintain your current stats. Best of lucks, John.

I've found myself in this situation, 15 people reaching out per day and not making any sale. My recommendation. - Improve your Gig description, let them know exactly what you need in order to review their project and what should they expect from your delivery. - Create pre-saved messages, you can even create a message between these lines: "Hey XXXX, how's evrerything going? Here's all the info I'll need to review your project" Or maybe " Hey XXXX, I'm currently overbooked" This saves time and makes everything easier. - Slightly increase your prices... If too many people contacts you, it might be because your prices are lower than the other sellers. By increasing your prices, you funnel potential buyers that are willing to pay the price. Hope it works 🙂 Best, John.

that's awesome! congrats 🙂

First time here as well, I’ve kept my response time under an hour and it’s been such a labour. I never got the repeated buyer badge, I guess I deserved this one lol

So I was scanning my profile this morning when I suddenly saw a Highly responsive badge on my Gig page. I certainly try to reply as fast as I can, mostly using pre-saved replies with dedicated usernames, I didn't think this sort of responsiveness was actually rewarded with a badge. I love seeing these kind of little details here and there. Has anyone seen it before? let me know haha

Having a client proof your experience takes time for you... time that could be focused on a well-paid project. That's exactly the reason why you have a portfolio under your username to prove it. I'd suggest you to ask the buyer to pay a fee for this feature, if they don't accept this offer, they might probably not be respecting your time and you'd be loosing it. Take the path you think might work best for you. Best, John.

not at all... Fiverr ahs successful sellers from all around the world. My top techniques to become a good seller are: - English proficiency, it allows you to properly explain the scope of your work and the client knows exactly what to expect from you. If you're not a native English speaker I'd suggest to take the English test so buyers can be more confident when choosing you. 73% of my buyers are from the US, so being a good communicator in English is key. - Go thru revision stages... get everything right before delivering the final product and make sure to communicate that you're going thru all those revision stages so the final delivery can be flawless, this way you can decrease the order revision rate and handle more projects at the same time. - Overdeliver: Always delivery more than your client is expecting, this leads to a 5 star review a probably a tip, not to mention that this buyer will most likely be a returning buyer. Just a few that come to my mind right now, hope it works! Best, Jonh.
