This is the TOS item I was referencing. It's against the rules as I understand them but I'm sure there are some loop holes. There's also a path to create an agency and not have to worry about this at all.

1. Probably but who knows really without the official word from CS 2. They'll always be vague and in most cases you'll never fully know anything in my experience. 3. You're not suppose to have a team of people working off of 1 account to begin with. That's what fiverr considers to be an agency or in the past ... studio. You're suppose to list yourself as an agency if you have a team. With Fiverr's new system everyone is competing against each other for search ranking and it's unfair to the other sellers. 4. If you can work with them on fiverr you should do so. If these are clients you met outside of Fiverr I'd never suggest adding a middle man where one isn't needed because it comes with a 20% price cut for you and added fees for the buyer.

[insert prompt here] Hey guys so you might not know me but hopefully you'll be seeing a lot more of me now. Through the wonderous series of events leading to AI automation in writing I am now a "Profeshional" copy writer! Luckily I didn't have to go school for it or even take formal classes of any kind. Can I get my badges now please, I assume there's a button attached to a dispenser of some kind? Sincerely yours ChapG.......Dereck_s

No increase (I'm a 4) and I haven't heard of anyone going up yet.

Honestly as a designer this sounds like a buyer issue to me. The buyer assumes the work is easy but obviously has no idea which is why they need a designer in the first place. Literally every designer says this is more work than the buyer thinks and the buyer can't admit they might not know. They just assume they're being scammed or up sold for no reason. With sketches it's flat art, in a lot of cases they can require a total redraw to do an edit correctly. I'd also love to see the image edit that was done with AI. As someone with midjourney and Adobe Firefly I can tell you that indivigual edits to a sketch are essentially impossible. AI has almost zero editing abilities and will instead just redraw the whole image different than the previous picture.

1000000% yes please. We really need a team that is fair that will look over problem orders.

2013 Fiverr was the good ol days. I use to buy my Feiyue shoes and lighters from Fiverr. Back when you could only charge 5 bucks. I miss the old Fiverr a lot. I wish it was still here and resent the AI monster that took it's place.

Just Joined Fiverr, Believing in 'It's Never Too Late'
dereck_s replied to digital_ey3's topic in New Member Introductions
You're joining an already overcrowded field on Fiverr and going against vetter sellers who have every advantage over you and for good reason. I think Fiverr is one of the hardest markets to break into currently (tons of scammers and most fields are more than full) but I do wish you luck.- 15 replies

Right, they have the amount of TRS that they want for that category, hence why they're not actively looking for more. They only want a certain number for each section on Fiverr. I don't know the specifics only that they're not looking to add more TRS to your category.
-
I don't know man, I could be totally wrong here as I obviously don't know all the facts but I do know that you have 14 gigs and none of them were showing that they had an order and I couldn't find a single one of your gigs when I searched for website design (I stopped at page 5). Maybe I just wasn't searching right but it seems like you're getting less orders than normal as well but hey I'm glad you're finding value in it and I truly hope I'm wrong. I got hit hard by this new system man. I'm to the point where I can't see a way I can even stay on the platform so a lot of it could just be me wanting to complain.

But it's not 5-6 calls a year for $39 dollars. It's 5-6 calls a year for $468 dollars. Think about it this way, AAA is a really good thing to have and hopefully you never use it to only have to use it every few months (just like your SM). AAA is $60 a year for me. My creative cloud suite which is all my design programs, my website / portfolio, cloud storage, and 100 other things honestly is 240 a year. You can buy my a years worth or AAA, a years worth of literally everything I need to design and still have $168 dollars left over. This is also just SP, we're not even talking about the fact I lost money on my promoted gigs last month for how well that "Feature" works for me.

No email here either and I also pay the $29 rate.

How is Fiverr 2024 going as a seller?
dereck_s replied to mamunislam85's topic in New Member Introductions
It's going pretty terrible for me. The new system demoted me to level 0. I think I've gotten 1 maybe 2 orders from a new seller in the last month which Fiverr took due to their promotion and seller plus fees. -
Only certain categories are being looked at for Top Rated Seller. Chances are you might not be in one of those categories.
-
How far away is the top-rated title from us?
dereck_s replied to nativechina's question in Questions
You do translation which is not currently a fast tracked category so they're not even looking at your profile / category for the time being. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news -

Not sure but honestly western markets are the important ones regarding copyright.
-
I think the biggest issue with AI is that you can't copyright claim it, especially art. Here's what the AI told me about AI created art🤪. So I have an AI concept art gig that I've been trying to establish. I don't want to do it (I do logo design on fiverr) but graphic design on fiverr is such a crowded market. If you ever want to be a pro or TRS in the design field you have to go the AI artist route as it's the only one with open spots left.

You should have replied "Okay you silver tongue devil, you talked me into it!" Then proceeded to waste his time for another 10 minutes.

Facing severe harassment & racial discrimination
dereck_s replied to abdalaherrjaibi's topic in Gig Advice
I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm assuming it came up because you were asking for lgbt work. Fiverr is a multinational company and has active sellers from a lot of areas in the world where being a member of the lgbt community is something they look down on. Normally I'd just say it's none of their business and you shouldn't bring it up and they shouldn't ask but it's obvious difficult if you're getting lgbt designs. Probably your best bet is just asking if the buyer is okay working on lgbt designs to avoid any headache. Is it graphic design work? If so I'll help you out and keep any questions that aren't design related to myself 😁 -
Constantly catfished, no trust left for fiverr
dereck_s replied to tkojohn's topic in My Fiverr Experience
Out of curiosity were you using sellers listed as Pro or TRS? Those sellers have been manually vetted to some extent. -
You do realize we're all sellers here right? Promoting here won't get you far sadly.

"Q1" hit me like a sack of bricks due to Fiverr's system update and my demotion to level 0. It made me feel like not only was I a terrible designer but that Fiverr saw me as exactly the type of person they don't want on their platform. I don't know how else to explain getting the second lowest success score you can get despite having perfect public metrics on my account for a decade. The thing I'm most grateful for is my supportive family that's been able to help me switch lanes in my life and be less reliant on Fiverr and start the path towards other directions and platforms.

I do carnivore, can't recommend it enough! I struggled a lot with food options in the beginning but overall it's made a dramatic improvement on my life.
