Hey - long time fiverr seller who stopped working on the site for a while. Just came back this month and wowsers. I dusted off my gigs and updated them. I've never used the milestones feature before but I added it to one of my gigs. I had a client place an order directly from the gig page and there are no milestones! In the pre-order chat, she wanted the milestones for progress check-ins and partial payments. Instead it's a single order, with a single large payment and a due date 60 days out. I messaged support and got a boilerplate answer with a link to the help page about milestones. It was not in the least bit helpful, but I guess it's nice to know the boilerplate answers are the one thing that hasn't changed. Is there any way to add milestones/payments to active orders without canceling them? With this very weird and super secretive scoring system, I'm reluctant to cancel, even for a re-order. Thanks all!

there is no dedicated manager on this tier. It's analytics, coupons and 7 day clearance. It's 19.99 USD. After the exchange, that's $30 bucks for me. It doesn't seem to add enough value to be worth it, at the moment.

Fiverr used to be a bigger chunk of my pie but back in the spring that stupid virus put me in the hospital. I had cancellations out the wazoo because i had orders in progress plus new orders came in. I went from level 2 to nada and never really recovered. My other contracts weren't damaged as badly and have continued to grow. Since my calendars pretty full, I've not been worrying about Fiverr. I get a few orders here and there but like a hundred bucks a month? After the exchange, the plus is $30 bucks a month for me - so I don't think it's worth it. Unless, like I said, there's hidden benefits to split out the scammys.

Thank you for the info! It sounds like its not for me.

I have some questions about the new tier for Seller Plus. For the cost of it, I don't find it offers enough value to opt in. Fiverr makes up a pretty small portion of my income pie so the cost wouldn't be worth it for me. Unless. Is this the start of paywall? Does joining offer unlisted, future benefits? Such as subscribers get shown in search more often? Can customers see who is Seller Plus vs not? If subscribers are not given these unknown benefits, are not subscribed sellers penalized in any way? TIA.

Just to follow up with this thread - today this order was marked auto completed and my order response stat dropped. So yep ... you need to have the last word I guess.

I messaged a client today, to ask for a link I needed to go with the project. He sent the link, ended with talk to you tomorrow. So I didn't respond. Now I've got alerts about how my client has been waiting for an update for 12 hours. Is this tied into any stats? Do I need to make sure I always get the last word now? I don't recall ever seeing this before.

they're so purty!!!!

Posted on a subreddit for another freelance site. Sadly, I don't believe there's anyway to connect the post to fiverr account but boy oh boy.

Many years ago (before cell phones were a thing), I was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee through the Appalachian Mountains, on my way to Atlanta, Georgia. We were close to the Kentucky/Tennessee line. The jeep belonged to my dad. I was 20, maybe 21. I had my younger brother and sister in the back. There was a road on the side of the mountains and it was sorta twisty, with sharper corners. I took one of the corners, very carefully. But, it was too much for the poor old jeep. The rear axle fell off. It was sorta hanging. Bits were still connected but most not. We walked down the road aways (like a couple hours slow walking) and got to a gas station. Called a cab and a tow truck and went to a Holiday Inn. I called my dad from the Holiday Inn and told him I'd left the jeep on the side of a mountain lol. Could he please come get us? We never saw the jeep again. Fun times lol.

I think that's what setting off flags in my brain. IRL, I do this for clients but it's a different type of relationship than what's possible on Fiverr. I think given the type, size and scale of this order, Fiverr's just not the right place and I'm going to pass. I'm sure there are other sellers who will take it. This type of fully managed service just doesn't work well here.

Fiverr reimburses you at their discretion, and it says the funds are held for 45 days only if it's related to fraud. It says service related chargebacks are not covered. Since the amount of seller protection is such a low bar, and I would still have paid the person I outsourced, I'm concerned. Each milestone has a rough value of $500. And actually now that I'm typing this, I'm inclined to pass on the order. If something in my brain is saying you should be worried, I need to pay attention that. Somewhere something has set off a red flag, even if I don't recognize it.

I've been asked to provide a quote for an extra large project. It would be an estimated 3 months and a value of $5000 or higher. It would be set up as a milestone project, 2-3 milestones per month, with set deliverables at each point. The buyer, depending on what screen I'm looking at, shows as Fiverr Select or Fiverr Business. Since a portion of this order will require outsourcing and the quote includes me obtaining that service, what is the best practice to protect myself as a freelancer? The risk of order cancellation or chargeback exists for all orders here on Fiverr but the risks seem magnified with such a large dollar value. The potential buyer did say he was collecting quotes so I don't know how likely it is I'll actually get the project - but I'm also wondering if I should just pass because of the risk. I know some of the very regular forum members do orders with a larger dollar value - how do you protect yourself against the risk of cancellation or charge back? Thanks muchly in advance!
