Guys,
I read tons of stories, the prostest post as well, for the past 3 days I had to cancel completed orders almost 100%. For the past 6 months, I completed over 280 orders with 100% Customer Ratings. For the past 3 days, I have been getting: "Excellent work, will be back for more", "Superb! A++++++", "Great job, excellent customer service", etc. and get 2.5 to 4.5 Buyers' Ratings. How everything was fine before and how now everything changes... I'm making anywhere between $10-160 per gig order and now all of my work goes to the trash... I guarantee 100% in every single gig that I will complete what I do. I put a disclaimer explaining what I can do and what I can't. I over deliver my work 100% of the time and now I am forced to cancel my orders all the time... It's not fair. How is Fiverr making money out of this screwing not only me, but probably 99% of its sellers. This new ARS doesn't work 100% of the time. All buyers who I discuss this issue with told me the same: We are not sure how to rate the work... Come on! For $5, I won't make you a millionaire neither anyone else here. Everyone is trying to help in a way and try to do his or her thing. I am trying to quit my full-time job - not to quit fiverr for god sake! I spend all of my time promoting my fiverr gigs and trying to do my best to serve others for a small fee which costs 10-100 times more if made by a consultancy. The worst is that the consultancy does the same thing, they rip you off and you feel happy cuz theres not rating system to put whatever mood you feel like at this particular moment and just use people then screw them up and leave the site.
If that continues for the next two days, I am going on 1 month vacation and might consider deleting my account permamently. This is not a safe enviroment to work in if such rules and terms are put in place.
Thanks!
