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.
