  1. Totally agree. I quit my job hoping to be a freelancer, now this is worse than any boss I've had before
  2. I am in the same situation as you unfortunately and I know what you feel, I am one of your competitors, I have been there since 2014 and it is a shame that every "improvement" that is made in the system we are despised more and more, just like You have kept my job as professionally as possible to find out this terrible news. Every day I have had to endure more and adapt to the system but this is the last straw, I think this will not end until we sellers leave Fiverr.
  3. Well....i implored 9 years and now i am tired, nothing will happen, it is always the same pushing us sellers. It seems like they care no more about us
  4. I've have mantainted: 100% reponse rate 100% order completition 100% On time delivery 5 Positve rating Just to realize today that I have a negative impact on customer satisfaction and cancellations, when I haven't had a single cancellation in more than 3 months, it seems like a bad joke but nothing surprises me anymore on Fiverr, it seems that every so often some members They require them to make changes to the platform where they put more pressure on the seller. I can't imagine how the value for money works if the client is seeing the type of work and gallery before purchasing as well as the price. There is no way to know what I can improve because they are all metrics that the client does privately, how can I improve something that I don't know? My impressions dropped from 2000 a day to only 190 a day as did my orders. No matter how hard I try here I can never have the client 100% satisfied, I have been on Fiverr for 9 years and I have never been able to reach the highest level, neither maintaining the best attitude, nor staying up late, nor doing everything humanly possible. and this is not going to change, these changes to pressure have been since I can remember, that is why in my case I am going to migrate my talent and my work to other platforms and not keep all my eggs in the same basket, i need to feel valuable again. After more than 8000 orders now they realize i do not have any value for their system. I think I'm more than tired of this situation, there has come a point where I don't even care anymore. Can you imagine how i feel after so much time and effort, trying to keep the perfect score?
  5. I totally agree with you and i am thinking of doing the same
  6. "Of course, we want to ensure a win-win situation for both buyers and sellers" I don't think this is a win-win situation for both. When we want to extend the time as sellers the buyer needs to approve, no matter if we are sick, or weekend or any emergency situation. Now the seller has the power to extend the delivery forever no matter if our gig states 2-3-4 day delivery. Same win situation for sellers, unresponsive buyers are now rewarded and can have control to retain funds of delivered work, we do our part of the deal doing the best to deliver on time but they don't. Maybe i would preffer to block those buyers that use this feature in the future before feeling they abuse. Now i cannot even plan my vacations! this is unfortunate.
  7. I know hundreds of Nightmare experiences What about these?: 1- The client that does not want to give you any information, you ask him several times but he refuses to make their part or be cooperative. Example: Seller: "i know that you want a graphic with a car included, can you please name a car model or kind of car you want in there?" Client:" You are the expert, work your magic" After that you explain you do handcrafted work but the client remains to say the same "read my mind" thing You deliver and the revision arrives with the client mentioning he was thinking he wanted to see a different car and model. Now i just need to press CTRL+(carmodel) key on my keyboard and it should be designed as magic!. 2- The one that threats you saying he knows someone from customer support... you report him and you realize he keeps doing the same and lives forever on the platform with no consequences. 3- The one that contacts you mentioning he only had bad experiences in the plattform, he even dares to mention their past orders being refunded!...for me this is a big warning light. A client with very high expectations nobody can please. 4- The one that was expecting to see several "iterations" of your work with no adding any extra. Sometimes they promise a tip for the work to be done or future projects...of course, these are false promises. 5- The ones that threat you with a bad review, or the ones that ask you for something extra before closing the order "i will leave a very good review IF you do this or that" what if not? 6- The one that needs to consult every change with a team of members and each one of them ask for a change or wants something different...i wonder why they do not make a decision before ordering what they need. 7- The one that canceled the order and still uses the work you did. 8- The ones that leave a raging review because the order was closed automatically... always have a sick parent and they were unable to check the order earlier. 9- The ones that ask for impossible stuff Example: Attached is a picture of my girlfriend, i want her to be facing front (the picture attached is from a profile view) 10- You explain to the buyer something wrong in the order and still want to continue even with those mistakes, after delivery he wants to correct those mistakes you explained. Lately, i just refuse to work with people that just arrive demanding with not even say a Hi, or hello. I've learned to trust my gut, unfortunately, this will continue happening, there are a lot of abusive buyers and the system was made to be on the client side. Also, there are lots of sellers that would be willing to accept all these behavior to get a little money, so clients assume all of us work the same. All these kinds of clients along with: -The clients that order by mistake -Other sellers asking you to give them work -The ones that send you viruses inside a zip file to get in control of your account, or a link to a phishing site. I can mention a lot more but i am afraid i am dealing with another Demandogorgon right now, so i need to RUN!
