Frequently asked
- What are the Fiverr seller levels?
- New Seller, Level 1, Level 2 and Top Rated Seller. Each level unlocks more gigs, more gig extras, faster payout clearing and better visibility. Levels are evaluated periodically based on your performance over a rolling window.
- What do I need to reach Level 1 and Level 2?
- Roughly: Level 1 needs ~60 days active, a number of completed orders and earnings, plus strong response rate, on-time delivery and rating. Level 2 raises the order, earnings and tenure thresholds. Exact figures evolve, so check your Fiverr level dashboard.
- How do I become a Top Rated Seller?
- Top Rated is partly performance-based (high tenure, volume, earnings, 4.7+ rating, excellent reliability) and partly manual. Consistency over many months — on-time delivery, fast responses, few cancellations and great reviews — is what earns it.
- What hurts my level the most?
- Late deliveries, order cancellations, slow response rate, and ratings below 4.7 are the biggest threats. A single cancellation can dent metrics for the whole evaluation window, so scope gigs carefully and only accept orders you can deliver well and on time.
- Why do levels matter for income?
- Higher levels mean better search visibility, more allowed gigs and extras, and faster payouts. Buyers also trust badges. Climbing levels compounds: more trust brings more orders, which brings more reviews, which protects your level.
