Fiverr seller's feedback and ratings

Recommended Posts

I started really well on Fiverr, but then I had to deal with a difficult client who left me negative feedback instead of addressing his issues upon delivery. As a result, I didn’t get any clients afterwards and deleted that gig.

If I create a new gig, will the same rating be shown for my profile as a seller? Or should I delete this account entirely and set up a new one to start over without that negative rating?

Hi - welcome

That’s not a particularly negative review - it’s not good, it’s not bad, just in the middle. And you have two more reviews that are enthusiastic.

I have a negative review (2 star) on my profile - and so do many others here! - that didn’t really affect our success or otherwise.

You can certainly ask CS if you can delete the existing profile and create a new one - you will need their permission for that, otherwise you may get banned for having more than one account.

Or you can do some research, improve your gig(s) and carry on.

Here are some places to start:

I read a lot of wonderful posts here but never contributed much. So, in this post, I’ll share my insights for what I’ve learned in my Fiverr journey and how can you get more orders if you are a new and level 1 seller. A little about myself first- I am a 27 yr old digital marketer and joined Fiverr last September. I’ve been jumping forth and back from New Seller to Level 1 (credit to the order completion rate). I still don’t make much from Fiverr, it’s around $150-$200/month but it pays some of…

Introduction– This is not a list on how to make gigs. This is for gigs that are already made that are under-performing, need an overhaul, or just need somewhere to start for self-evaluation/education. It does contain a few general-information bits, and can help during gig creation, but that is neither the focus nor the intent. For more information on any of the following sections or points, please see ‘Other Resources’ under (RRD) at the end of this post. Sections: (TCT) Title, Category, and…

In my recent poll, the following results occurred. 51% of us admitted “I do not do enough marketing”30% of us know/believe “I do not show up in search results”Only 12% of us have “got an order from a client I brought to Fiverr myself”Only 10% of us have “got an order from a client through social media”7% said “Our marketing is not working even though I spend time and money on it”It is clear that we need to do more ourselves to build our business and increase our sales. If you read the fo…

We’ve all seen these posts here on the forum from time to time. Many sellers have the same question: “Why isn’t my gig visible when I search for it?” and “What’s up with Fiverr’s algorithm? My gig is on the last page!!!”. In this post I’ll try to answer those questions, and give some (hopefully) helpful tips and tricks to help you rank your gig in Fiverr Search, and get more orders and better visibility. This isn’t a full-proof guide in any way. Following these tips doesn’t guarantee top plac…

So many new sellers come on the forum complaining that they have been on the site for a few days or weeks and are fed up waiting for orders. Some sellers wait months or more to get their first order!

Making money on Fiverr is becoming more difficult these days, with so many new people joining up hoping to earn money on Fiverr quickly. Here are my thoughts on this - and, yes, it involves some work and thought before publishing a gig!

People keep repeating the same wrong advice - and newbies are deceived by it. Here’s my take on it - share if you feel so inclined:

So many newbies are being taken advantage of here on Fiverr by a small minority of predatory “buyers”. This is my take on how to protect yourself, thereby reducing the chances of a cancellation or negative review.

If you delete your Gig, The rating will stay in your profile. one negative rating is not a big matter.

Deleting your existing account (and the gig you’ve already deleted) is not very sensible in my opinion. Two reasons…

  1. You’ve already done the hard part. You’ve achieved sales and received some good reviews. There are thousands of sellers with no sales after many months of being on Fiverr. If you start again, you’ll lose this momentum. Don’t assume that starting out for a second time will be any easier. There are many more freelancers on Fiverr compared to just a few months ago.

  2. What are you going to do the next time someone leaves a review that you don’t like? Delete the account and start again for a third time, a fourth time, etc. This is not how successful businesses work. Good businesses ride the rough with the smooth and learn from every experience to ensure that ‘next time is always better’.

An ‘okay’ review is not the end of the world. With another couple of sales and good feedback reviews your average rating will soon bump up, and within time you can achieve a 5 star perfect rating.
