What Are Fiverr Buyer And Seller Levels? Fiverr Levels Guide

What Are Fiverr Buyer And Seller Levels?

Fiverr is one of the emerging freelance marketplaces in the world. It claims more than 2.5 Million registered sellers onboard.

It assigns different levels to its well-performing sellers and buyers. These levels are divided into different categories.

Each month Fiverr evaluates the preferment and decides to promote a seller to the next level.

Sometimes if a seller fails to maintain these requirements, he faces a level demotion as well. 

How Does Fiverr Level System Work?

After accomplishing a complete and active gig, a seller is given the new seller badge. Meanwhile, the evaluation clock starts ticking.

Each seller needs to fulfil the prerequisites assigned by the marketplace for next-level promotion.

There are two types of conditions you must accomplish.

1. Next Level Requirements
2. Standards to Maintain

What Are The Fiverr Standards To Maintain?

There are 4 standards you have to maintain during each evolution. If you fail in a single one, you will not be considered for advancement.

During an evolution time, if you fail to maintain these standards, your level is also dropped.

Response Rate:

You have to answer 90% of messages or inquiries in the last 60 days. Fiverr counts only the first message by the new buyer or seller as an inbox inquiry. This standard is permanent, and you have to maintain it.

Order Completion:

In Fiverr, you have to maintain a 90% order completion rate in the last 60 days. If you drop your order completion rate below 90, you will miss your next level or lose your current level too.

On-Time Delivery:

Fiverr starts an order’s countdown or delivery time when the buyer submits their order requirements. You can start the order clock by skipping the requirements as well.

If the buyer doesn’t submit requirements, Fiverr keeps such orders in pending status, which doesn’t spoil your profile. You have to deliver the order before the deadline. 

Late Delivery:

A one-minute delay will mark the order as late, and you will face a penalty. If you can not complete the order by the given deadline, you must submit an order extension request to your buyer.

If the buyer accepts your request, you will get extra time for the delivery. You have to complete at least 90% of your orders on time throughout the last 60 days.

Positive Rating:

After closing each order, Fiverr gives its buyers an option to rate the seller’s services. Most of the buyers choose to rate the service experience. However, some of them ignore it as well.

The overall rating count is five stars. You have to maintain a 4.7 or above rating through the last 60 days.

Note: If you force your buyer to rate you or change any previous rating, you will get a Fiverr warning. Asking a buyer for a review or a 5-star review is against Fiverr’s TOS.

Fiverr Level Evaluation Time

Fiverr evaluates a seller profile on the 15th of each month. You need to qualify for the next level requirements to get a new level badge and perks.

Suppose you created a Fiverr seller profile on the 10th of Aug, your first evaluation will be done on the 15th of August regardless of the requirements criteria.

Fiverr unlocks several benefits for achieving advanced levels like quick payment withdrawal, extra gigs, and fast customer support.
