[A buyer ordered my service without let me know :(]

I have noticed a increase in buyers who order, but than do not fill in the requirements, like, how can i start your order, if you dont let me know what you want done? Some noted they did add the download link, some stated they did send it through using Fiverr, but i don't believe that seeing it worked in the past or Fiverr has changed it's order system, i have not ordered in a while so i don't know.

[order cancellation]

I have the same issue, client ordered something, i stated the results will not be to his satisfaction (A.I upscale, where he wanted the car license plates to be more clearer, i told him, it's not possible, as the quality of the video is too low, he still insisted in ordering). He was not satisfied with the result, even though he accepted my recommendation that it will not turn up out as he want to. He instantly called me out for being a scammer while he accepted the order. Now he wants a full refund. Like, hello??? You accept to buy a order that will not end up looking good, than complain it does not look good? I have contacted support, but with Easter weekend, i fear i will get no reply back soon. I'm sad this still happens on Fiverr, that someone can order from your gig, cancel it and get your work for free.

[significant drop on orders]

The new system basically makes it impossible to compete with the high rated sellers. Thanks Fiverr, for killing my business!

[How are you liking the new fiverr level / rating sytem ?]

Bad, in the old system, my response rate is 90%, i switch over to the new system, it's 86% so i do not quality for the next level, THANKS FIVERR!! They also raised the amount of earnings you need to qualify for the next level!

[New review system is live?!]

Another example of a new system that states "if its not broken, don't fix it".

I delivered a order within one day, they added this to the review:

I hate people...

[Seller sent me a google meet]

Yes, scammers will try and do "business" outside of Fiverr. If someone states they want to do something outside of Fiverr, block and report hem.

[Where have all the buyers gone? :-(]

Im not in the write and copy-editing field and the last two weeks, i barely had any orders, but i get over 200 impressions on my gigs, this aint normal.

[Allow freelancers to accept or deny the orders!!!]

Really wish we indeed could get this, because i have it clearly stated in my gig, that i don't do certain services, but people still order the gig and demand what i do not offer!

[(Android) App gives notifications of orders long finished]

Yeah, i agree, but what good does a notification helps me, on a order that was finished a month ago.

[(Android) App gives notifications of orders long finished]

For a month now, i keep getting notifications on the Android app, on orders that are already finished, or messages that are already archived, it's rather annoying this keeps happening.

[Sellers are totally unprotected]

One thing that needs to change, is that we need to see the buyers review and rating BEFORE we put up our review and rating of this buyer. Two times now i was scammed by someone, who orders something, makes vague requests, i never get a reply on if the order was correct and to their wishes, they just ghost me, never reply and time runs out for the order to be delivered and when you deliver they give you a 1 star rating!

This is like the only sellers site that i know, where you see reviews after you responded to them! This works against the sellers as it hurts their business when scammers abuse this!

We can of course reply to their reviews these days, but still.

[How to deal with scammers and how Fiverr proves them right]

To prevent this from happening, make a intro video for your gig, recording yourself with video, to show future clients that you are indeed recording it yourself and it's not A.I!

To fight scammers, i give them a sample first, in my case i am a video editor/ai upscaler, so i plaster a giant watermark on my video before they get the final result. This way, if they like the results, they can agree to finalize the order and they will get a none watermark version.

[Our latest product release is here]

I don't know how to feel about all of this, because why would i wanna create ANOTHER account on Fiverr as we are already struggling to keep up with our normal accounts. I think these whole new set of products is actually the downfall for low tier sellers, because it will suggest high top rated experts to buyers, ignoring the lower seller jobs. I'm still offering below 100, so I'm screwed, thanks Fiverr!!

[Disallow Download Feature on Source File before Accepting Order]

I put my own watermark on my work, if they are satisfied with my work, and they accept to finalize the order, they get the final work without my watermark, its a extreme method, but im tired working for scammers for free who cancel the order after receiving the order and wanting a revision.

[Fiverr's 20% cut is too high]

Want to be shocked even more? They also take from your tips!

[Giving people their order AFTER it's accepted?]

So, because i am sick of people scamming me, i am thinking of people giving a sample of their order first, in my case, i edit video's, i encountered a scammer method, for example i have had a scammer ask for infinite revisions (buyers getting unlimited revisions is honestly a disservice towards the sellers, there should be a limit!), or after i delivered the video they ask for a revision they cancel the order. They get the order, and they get their money back! And i as a seller get a bad reputation!

So i want to give them a sample first, basically have a giant transparent watermark over the video, and after they accepted the order give them the full order. Is this allowed by Fiverr?

[I'm a new seller on fiver, I want to be a top seller on fiver, but I'm posting about 4 gigs so far no orders come. what can i do.]

Well, first, you started a gig in a field that is basically oversaturated on Fiverr. Just search for "data entry" on Fiverr and you get like 20 pages. Advertise on your social media pages. See what top sellers are doing to get gigs and learn from that...
