espumita Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 What is wrong with people? There is a buyer’s request in the “virtual assistant” category where a seller offers to buy a 6$ gig IF you buy him a 5$ gig first and leave him a 5 star review. After he delivers his gig he will buy a 6$ gig to “return the favor”.Just a way to obtain 5 star reviews paying 1$ for them. I don’t think tha’ts fair for all the hard working seller here on Fiverr.Here’s what he wrote:“I need someone to leave a positive 5 star rating on my gig,here it goes, you will order a $5 gig from me and I will complete yourorder, and you will leave some positive rating on my gig.I’ll also order a $6 gig from you to return your money”I noticed that buyer’s request don’t have a “report” button like the private messages. I think it would be very useful in cases like this one.(BTW he already has 16 offers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espumita Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Please report it to customer supportAlready done 🙂 but I suppose it’ll take a while before Customer Support reads my report.That’s why I think it would be useful a “report button” on buyer’s request as well.

frank_d Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I will charge $5 per star in the review. So for a full 5 star review, that’s a total of $75. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantompower Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 He’ll buy a 6$ gig. But that’s not the point 😛He will buy at 6$ - 20% - paypal fees. it’s still zero… When I checked the BR section I am left to assume that the requests are not really approved by real people but rather by a machine which looks at specific key words in order to approve or disapprove.

miiila Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 The requests can´t all be checked by people, no way some of those I´ve seen would have passed then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espumita Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 The requests can´t all be checked by people, no way some of those I´ve seen would have passed then.Yes, it’s impossible that all buyer’s request can be checked by people. That’s why I think a “report button” would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dianagrigore Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 And this is why we can’t have good things 😒 …because others have borrowed a chicken’s brain and pasted them dollaroos on their eyes and screw everything up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
