Out of office mode?

[logoexpert48]

Hello everyone, i am a seller and i need help, actually i am going to be busy for a few days, but how can i stop getting orders for a week? If i go to out of office mode, then will my gig’s rank go down?

I mean if, after a week i come back, then will my gig stayed on the same place or it will go down?

I have found it is best to not go OOO because it takes a long time to get your gig ranking back. I always increase my delivery time to when I think I will be ready to deliver new orders.

What’s your alternative? To let buyers take the time to consider you and then hire you despite you not being able to do it?

Inconveniencing buyers is never a good alternative.

Focus on your other thing. Go OOO. The point of Fiverr is to have a life, not to deplete the one you already have.

I went OOO for 8 days while I went on a cruise. When I returned, I had two orders from previous buyers and one person who contacted me before leaving, waiting on my return. Those 3 orders put my gig right back where it was.

I’ve gone OOO a couple of times, always to prevent being overbooked, and every time I come back like clockwork, I have 3-4 messages from potential clients looking for work. I suppose everyone has a different experience with OOO! But personally, it’s been a life saver, and I haven’t noticed my placement drop much from using it.
