advanced rating system

Here is a summary of all the feedbacks given by different sellers working online in Fiverr. These points list out the negative consequences of the advanced rating system.

1. Most of the buyers are over-demanding. Once the order is started, their demands also rise. They discuss pdf, order for pdf, then in the end also ask for the doc format file. Many are not satisfied with the first draft of design, and ask for modifications. Revisions in $5 are not affordable, better is to cancel the order. If the demands of the buyers are not fulfilled, they will never leave 5/5 star rating, even if the finalized design is satisfactory.

2. Seller response time is not fair. Because most of the sellers in Fiverr are freelancers and handle projects single-handedly. Unlike Elance which is dominated by groups and companies, Fiverr should cooperate sellers working from different parts of the world, with different time zones. Basically, the fight is for getting 5/5 when work is done as per the instructions of the buyer. 5/5 is not possible in this system. Earlier system of rating is better. Sellers want this system to remove and retain the earlier system of rating.

3. This system of rating proves Fiverr an unreliable source of online income. Because this system pressurizes sellers, and they are always afraid to keep their rating safe and high. Sellers will become slaves of buyers, who even now blackmail many sellers in the name of “positive-negative” system of rating.

4. MOST IMPORTANT: I don’t think new comers (sellers) will be able to maintain their reputation and grow their profile. Since many are fresh designers, their designs are not premium and high end. The earlier system, at least, would give them a ‘Thumbs up’ instead of 3.9/5 rating. Hence this system discourages not only the existing sellers, but also the new comers.

5. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT REASONS WHY SELLERS PREFER FIVERR THAN ELANCE, ODESK…
In Fiverr, it is much easier to get started, sell, and progress. But in many other online marketplaces, due to the 5-star rating system, it is quite difficult to show yourself to the buyers, since buyers search for people having 5/5 rating. This system will not allow the new sellers to withstand the harsh competition from the existing top rated sellers.
