As a business, why do you want all your sellers to look worse? Would you not rather have 100s of 5-star level 2 and top rated sellers than 1000s of 4.95 Level 1 sellers? You are making us look bad and cheapening the appeal of your website.

If 95% of your seller feel that this is the wrong move, aren't you slapping them in the face? Even if you feel like it's better? We are the reason your company makes money. Why insult us like this?

I don't understand how a client can rate your "value for money" when ordering the gig PROVES that it is a value for their money?! You know what they are probably rating is the fees that Fiverr tack on to the order from the client side. How is my lowest rated gig the one that says "positive impact" in all fields? I guess I'll tuck my tail and learn to act like a bot to appease Fiverr, even though I have excellent working relationships with 90% of my clients. I feel like buzzwords in private messages are attributing to this and offering discounts via custom orders. BUT HOW WOULD I KNOW? All I receive are generic copy and pastes of poorly written public statements when I ask questions. I'd be surprised if my business wasn't impacted by complaining here.

It's not negatively impacted me YET... but I am terrified that ONE bad client will cost me my business.

I have only had two orders in 206 orders rate me below a 5, and both were 4.7s (oddly)... so why am I being told that my success score is an 8?! The gigs that I've spent YEARS getting to the optimal SEO and package pricing perfected on are getting lower numbers than brand new gigs that I've done one or two orders with?! I have a "Negative impact" on my communication even though my average response time has never in three years been below a few hours?! I feel like I've been slapped in the face. I defend Fiverr every time my peers give me a hassle, but it's getting harder and harder to understand why I'm here. Up-charging the program to get the money that I earned "early" with the Seller Plus program, even though I pay you 20% of everything I make? I feel so dejected and slightly threatened with loosing my level status. HOW CAN I DO BETTER WHEN YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT I'VE DONE WRONG? I read that repeat customers is now a bad thing? even though you've pushed me to hook clients in for years? if i wasn't in niche markets of my gigs, I feel like my orders would be down. I couldn't imagine being a visual artist or something else. I don't want to have to take my services elsewhere... I like it here... well... liked it... PLEASE reconsider this new leveling system and simplify things. I feel like there is about to be a mass exodus, and that doesn't make money for you.
