My Fiverr seller response time went from 2 hours to 3 days and I think I know why
Six months ago my main guy on Fiverr would reply in like 2 hours, now it takes him 3 days and sometimes I have to send a follow up just to get a yes or no. I checked his profile and he went from 12 active gigs to 40, so I'm guessing he just took on way too much and can't keep up anymore. Is this happening to anyone else or did I just pick the one seller who got greedy?
Used to figure this was just sellers being busy, but seeing the gig number jump from 12 to 40 pretty much tells the story. More gigs means more orders than one person can handle, so replies get slower and follow ups become normal. Feels less like greed and more like they don't know when to stop taking work.
