  1. It's up to the Buyer if they want to permit you to display the order: Source: https://help.fiverr.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010509437-Live-Portfolio
  2. Yes, they're all scam attempts. Fiverr had no barrier to entry, so scam accounts can be made with no limits.
  3. As for how I'm feeling... Well... (In a rushed, venting voice/tone:) I very nearly quit my day-job last Tues, because my boss reprimanded me rather harshly because I forgot the instructions he gave concerning one of our A/R that was giving us trouble. The weekend just before that some of my family visited, one of whom I hadn't seen since before the 2020 lockdown and the other only once since then and only for a very quick two days, and while the visit went great, we ended up at our decided point of interest for their trip right before it closed, so didn't get to see it because they closed the gate early, and I was the one to do most of the many hours of driving over the span of three days. And there was the week before the visit, which was stressful due to preparing for the sudden visit, because I'd gotten less than a week's notice that they were coming. So, how am I? Stressed. Recovering. As for summer plans, none yet. Though next week (still spring, so doesn't count) thinking of going to the NC Pickle Festival, weather pending.
  4. Report and block. It's not a setting, but by reporting it, Fiverr can better identify these types of scams and prevent them from reaching Sellers in the first place. dealing with spam and scams is a part of being in business, and as a freelancer it's a part of your job to identify and deal with them. (Also, please read the rules. Both the Fiverr ToS and the forum rules.)
  5. Thought of another But I didn't write it down So I lost the thought
  6. It's already listed in the forum rules that they count as plagiarism, so if you see forum posts that are AI generated without the source cited, absolutely feel free to report them.
  7. It was short and fun My family is crazy 😁 Sad to see them go
  8. I'm not sure this counts, because it's more 'outdated' than 'pointless', but I use to work in a film-processing lab. 35mm hasn't quite gone extinct, but all my knowledge of that industry is pretty much pointless now except in historical and trivia context. I suppose it isn't completely useless, should someone bring me beta work set in the time-period before digital cameras, but the odds of that are rather slim.
  9. Have you followed none of the links that have been provided to you? The very first one took you directly to the Fiverr Help Center. All you had to do was type 'withdraw' into that search bar, and you would have gotten this: Not listening to people does not reflect well on you as a potential Seller, and in fact dives many people away.
  10. Had family visit Couldn't come on the forums It's been a long week
  11. Read. Research. Take advice from people who are already where you want to be, and ignore the people who have no track record.
  12. I glanced at your profile, and I have some guesses as to why you might not have been approved. Firstly, though, did you actually read the ToS when you joined? Source: https://www.fiverr.com/legal-portal/legal-terms/terms-of-service There's also this: https://help.fiverr.com/hc/en-us/articles/4416325224977-Perfect-your-profile-picture
  13. Most of them come from my day job, so I'd rather not share those in a public forum. Or, they're so convoluted that it would take me hours to explain in typing, in part because some of them I'm still not sure how they happened. Or, the drama is still going on. (I just tried to type out one example, and I'm giving up. I really don't have the time today. I might try again later, if I can figure out how to explain some of the more baffling aspects.) I can think of one that is fairly short and simple to explain, though. A very young coworker (fresh out of high school) who worked with us for about two months was constantly making references to memes and shows that most us had never seen. Without the context, they fell rather flat, and he'd often have to explain, but we'd still not 'get it'. Like jumping to the punchline of a joke without the leadup. Very minor, but a perfect example of assumptions that the listener knows what you're talking about. One that is more related to Fiverr, as an example of 'need more info', is this thread I participated in two years ago, back when Buyer's Requests were still a thing (forewarned: it's a fairly long read). https://community.fiverr.com/forums/topic/276507-new-to-fiverr-and-looking-for-digital-artist-for-large-project/ Also, I just watched this yesterday, and the first 1:45 of the video is a perfect example of cultural assumptions and miscommunication: People are confusing. Communication takes work. And communication skills need training, just like any other skill.
  14. Oh, I have stories about miscommunications. People are not mind readers. Adding two threads related to this topic for reference: https://community.fiverr.com/forums/topic/282452-the-dangers-of-asking-the-wrong-questions/ https://community.fiverr.com/forums/topic/315291-tip-for-new-sellers-ask-the-right-questions/
