You are 100% correct. it really seem that way. and thanks for agreeing with my site feedback

FIVERR PLEASE: give sellers the ability to accept or refuse orders with no ill effects on our ratings. IT IS SO UNFAIR THAT AS A SELLER, I HAVE TO VIVIDLY & REPEATEDLY EXPRESS ON MY GIGS THAT I DON'T SERVICE CERTAIN TYPE OF CONTENT DUE TO HORRIBLE RECORDINGS AND OR BUYERS WITH UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS. I WAS RECENTLY FORCED INTO AN ORDER that I usually don't service, BECAUSE THE BUYER DID NOT READ GIG DESCRIPTION & THEY STILL PLACED THIS ORDER. UPON HEARING IT, I ALREADY KNEW THAT IT WAS AN IMPOSSIBLE EDIT BUT I STILL TRIED MY BEST BECAUSE MY NAME/RATINGS WERE NOW ON THE LINE. SO I COMPLETED THE EDIT, DELIVERED IT, THEY TURNED RIGHT AROUND AND ASKED FOR A REFUND & FIVERR GRANTED IT... NOT ONLY DID I LOSE MONEY, I LOST TIME, PUT WEAR AND TEAR ON MY EQUIPMENT & I STILL ENDED UP LOSING POINTS ON MY COMPLETION RATE. IF I WERE ABLE TO ACCEPT OR REFUSE BAD ORDERS: I wouldn't have to worry about issues like this from happening AGAIN. NO MORE LOST TIME, NO MORE LOST MONEY & NO MORE TAKING ORDERS THAT I DON'T SERVICE. I'm pretty sure that the buyer turned around and sent my work to another editor (like that will help) BUT SERIOUSLY: Fiverr we need you all to stand by your sellers, protect your sellers from scammers and buyers with unrealistic expectations. YOU ALREADY TAKE A CUT OF OUR EARNINGS AND OUR TIPS: AT LEAST GIVE US THE ABILITY TO ACCEPT OR DECLINE ORDERS BEFORE THEY ARE OFFICIALLY PLACED. ALSO, WHEN A SELLER DELIVER A FILE TO A BUYER, PLEASE EMBED THE ORDER NUMBER IN THE METADATA OF THE SAID FILE. SO IF THE BUYER ASK FOR A REFUND AND THEY ARE GRANTED A REFUND AFTER THEY HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED THEIR DELIVERY; THEY SHOULD BE CHARGED A USAGE FEE IF THEY TURN AROUND AND SEND THE FILE THEY RECEIVED A REFUND FOR TO ANOTHER SELLER FOR SERVICE. IJS: IF THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE FILE, DON'T USE IT. BUT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT BUT CHOOSE TO KEEP IT AND SEND IT TO ANOTHER SELLER, I BELIEVE THAT THE USAGE FEE SHOULD BE PAID TO THE ORIGINAL SELLER FOR USAGE OF THE REFUNDED WORK... *IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD TO IMPLEMENT. IT'S LIKE HAVING THE FIVERR WATERMARK ON PHOTOS AND VIDEOS. INSTEAD, EMBED THE ORDER NUMBER INTO THE FILE SO WHEN IT IS UPLOADED IN A DIFFERENT ORDER, THE PLATFORM WILL SEND AN ALERT REMINDING THE BUYER THAT THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO USE A WORK THAT THEY RECEIVED A REFUND FOR. OPTION 1: PAY USAGE FEE TO THE ORIGINAL SELLER or OPTION 2: DON'T USE THE REFUNDED WORK. REFUNDS ARE FOR THINGS THAT PEOPLE DON'T WANT NOR PLAN TO USE. PLEASE HELP PROTECT YOUR SELLERS FIVERR

Absolutely spot on. I wholeheartedly agree with you. Thanks

If a buyer has no feedback, have placed no other orders & or they ask me how to approve their delivery and or how the buying process goes they ARE a noob… but I agree with everyone, it’s totally up to me to accept the project. My point is buyers should supply the same amount of specifics that I would have to post on my gigs (in their gig/request). It would save time, turn wheels faster and cut down on nonsense and or unrealistic expectations. That’s all I’m saying. Thank you but that’s what I do. I stop sending messages after the second person (in a row) didn’t reply. In fact, if the project doesn’t not attract my attention, I don’t act on it. But I truly suggest that Fiverr have it to where these potential buyers provide the same amount of information that I would have to provide when I’m creating a gig. I want ppl to fully understand what services I offer. When a buyer contacts me they either placed order or request an offer and they tell me what they need done. When budget buyers send request it’s very vague. That’s my whole point. FWIW: this is feedback for Fiverr. Just about every comment I’ve gotten is basically suggestions as if I’m new to Fiverr. I’m new to this forum but I’ve been a seller here for years

I agree. Especially if the buyer is a noob

Hello, I would like to request that the gigs section (on the buyers side) be updated. As of late, I have been receiving briefs from Fiverr from buyers searching for editors. The problem that I have: I have not yet accepted a brief due to inadequate information from the potential buyer. When they create their gigs/requests/offers. they do not disclose the duration of their projects, what exactly they need done to their projects, and an explicit definition of the highlights they are referring to in their project & or supply an project overview sheet that would summarize their project beyond the 2-4 sentences that they type in when creating their request/budget. I’m only suggesting this because I am afraid to accept a project via brief & it costs less than what I would normally charge. That could eventually affect my seller level status especially if it’s a customer one that Is hard to satisfy, they live on the other side of earth and is in bed when I’m awake (vice versa). I truly believe that if buyers searching for services provided detailed information about their projects, they would have a faster turnaround (in my opinion) to be honest it would save the buyer and seller a lot of time. Thanks example of description of the briefs I get: “looking for editor to edit video for my gaming channel. I want to keep highlights” my question: uhh how long is the project? What is your idea of highlights? I have a problem committing to an order and I have zero information to go by to ensure that their budget is worth the man-hours I put in to make their project a reality.
