  1. Well, that might explain things for me. I've had a ton of autocompletes. No malicious buyer intent; they just recieved their delivery, and moved on to other business needs. Not my fault, and not worthy of a 4 seller success score, due to the enigmatic "buyer satisfaction". As Fiverr themselves have stated over the years, "buyers are not required to leave a review". So, NOW we ARE penalized if an order autocompletes, and no reviews are left? I feel a bit like Fiverr's yo-yo.
  2. I, one of Fiverr's most profitable, long term sellers, am currently sitting at an overall success score of 4. I have no idea how to get out of, or overcome this, so, I, personally, am dreading tomorrow..... but that's just me. I was doing wonderfully until this new system went into place. I can't say that I like it. Let's turn the tables a bit. Anyone wanna help me -- a Fiverr veteran seller (6 digit sales) -- figure out how to get the Fiverr visibility and orders rolling again? Or, am I doomed, now, to reside in "low performance" territory, and not be seen in the marketplace, all because of things that I cannot control? Private reviews for example. This new seller level system is absolutely killing the profitability of some great Fiverr sellers.
  3. Or, just employees who have never actually worked as freelancers within these systems. Managing something, and being subject to the workings of that something, are two very different things.
  4. hi I am interested

      Interested in what?

  5. This happens to me a lot as well. 😕
  6. I don't know. Perhaps. All I know was that I was asked to be assessed to join a large (intended) team, and it wasn't a paid position.
  7. I don't know how they are chosen, I just know that I was asked. [shrug]
  8. Nope. Not as far as I was informed. Completely volunteer-based.
  9. I was asked to be an SM.... personally. Alas, there was no benefit to me in accepting, so I declined. Given the volatility of this product rollout, that was probably a good idea. 😬
  10. That's the crux of our complaints. The private reviews are breaking the new system -- for us, the sellers, anyway, And, FYI, I was quoting a legal phrase when I stated, "Show me my accusers".
  11. How do I have such a low seller Success Score? I am among the best-selling sellers on this site, with thousands of buyers (in 94+ countries), mathematically great reviews, more all-time revenue than most sellers, and otherwise fantastic metrics.... except -- for unclear reasons -- a low success score. I have dealt with some terrible buyers (most that were incapable of being satistifed -- the kind of buyer we all try to avoid), as we all have, yet, despite being a successful seller -- for a decade on this site (since 2014) -- my newly-imposed low success score means that I -- as it stands right now -- may no longer be able to sell my popular service(s) here. I don't see how I can "improve" from this low success score, and big-gig-weighted "strong negative impact" seller satisfaction metric (and certainly not in one month!). Out of all of my many completed gig sales, within the past two years alone, I have only had three 1-2 star reviews. That's well above average for my gig category(s), and easily outweighed by my many other great reviews. I work hard to please my clients. I always have. That's part of my branded reputation. That's why my clients hire me. So, who the heck has secretly reviewed me so low as to put me into "strong negative impact", low seller Success Score territory? "Show me my accusers". Why am I being penalized for metrics that I cannot/could not control? The new system sees only numbers and metrics, without taking into consideration the true reasons for those metrics. I am not a bad seller. In fact, I am well-respected on the site, as well as here on the forums. People know me. Forum users know me (all too well, in fact). I've influenced hundreds of big business brands.... I've created artwork, logos, and other business elements for celebrities, notable hotel chains, government officials (some running for election at the time), entertainers, a notable Country Music singer, new inventions (some that are already on the market), even an astronaut! Heck, I was even so trusted by Fiverr as to serve as a forum moderator for a while (years ago)! I've worked hard, over the years, to EARN my strong, positive reputation. So why are blanket uncontrollable metrics waiting to kill me, as a seller, here on Fiverr? Surely this new Fiverr system can do a better job of quantifying the value of its greatest assets -- proven, successful, respected sellers like myself (and others). I don't want to stop being a great seller, here, on Fiverr, yet, for some reason, this new system thinks that I should. Where's the fairness, or respect, in that? ---------------------------------------------------------- (NOTE: I am not trying to start arguments, just expressing my valuable thoughts and concerns)
  12. Exactly. The success score should start at the same point for everyone -- under the new system -- and give sellers, like you (and others) a chance to ease into the new score. Old data can be added in slowly, to bring seller histories into focus. It is unwise to dump everyone into the mix based entirely upon old data (especially when some great sellers worked hard to overcome past challenges that, now, once again, penalize them severely under the new rules). This disqualifies some great hard-working sellers right off the bat, with little to no chance to operate (or sell) under the new requirements.
