On Fiverr, we have thousands of creative people who showcase their skills. Being a regular buyer of services I write to them. and then what happens? Silence. Mum is the word. Some of them just don't have the basic courtesy to write back. I understand that they may have a million reasons not to take up my work. It may not be their line of work, or si Life happens, and things are not good all the time, like family emergencies, sickness, just just to name a few. Does that justify this behaviour? I don't think so.
I am also practical and down to earth. We are not here to change the world, but it would be nice for people to be nice. I wish Fiverr has a feature where sellers can be rated on their responsiveness, courtesy, even when a transaction has not taken place. I know this may not make good business sense because other buyers will keep away from these people, and Fiverr will lose revenue. However that will at least ensure that we have a mix of good buyers and sellers. This will also build tremendous goodwill in the fiverr community.
