What You Can’t Do in Fiverr Inbox?

Spammers are all around you! No doubt, the Fiverr launched this inbox to facilitate it doer’s to collaborate more easily with their clients. However, there are certain people who do it not un-knowledgeable or maybe knowingly. Let’s have a look at the actions you should not perform at any cost in the Fiverr inbox:

1) Sharing Personal Contacts

According to Fiverrr Terms of Services, any seller or buyer is not supposed to share any details which can pose to the communication outside Fiverr. This comes out to be one of the biggest reasons why the Fiverr accounts get banned. People especially, the beginners don’t know the rules of using Fiverr inbox initially which results in the account restriction. So, be careful in the conversation and sharing files!

2) Urging for Outside Payments

Fiverr has a secure and well-defined payment process to withdraw the earnings. Which clarifies that you can’t request your client to pay you outside Fiverr. Doing this can kick you out from Fiverr. If your buyer does it, you should immediately report that to Fiverr.

3) Five Star Rating Request

As an honest seller, you can ask the buyer to rate your work on merit. However, requesting your buyer for the 5-star rating is not allowed.

4) Rubbish Behavior

As mentioned earlier, Fiverr inbox is the place of collaboration where you engage your buyers, build strong relationships, and smack a few bucks as well. That’s why the misbehavior, abusing and all other unethical activities are strictly prohibited on Fiverr.

The Take Away,

This by no means is the end of Fiver inbox as far as the features are concerned. Fiverr is looking for the advanced features to include like the Live Chat, creating some workrooms, chat rooms, work diaries etc. to add some lovely icing on the cake.
