What happens to my seller level and reviews?

All seller levels (Level 1, Level 2, Top Rated Seller), reviews, ratings, and achievements are permanently deleted when you close your account. These cannot be recovered or transferred. If you create a new Fiverr account, you start from Level 0 with zero reviews.

Can I withdraw my earnings after closing my account?

No. You must withdraw ALL earnings before closing your account. Any balance remaining after closure is permanently forfeited without refund. Fiverr will not process withdrawal requests for closed accounts, even for earnings you worked for.

What happens to my gigs and portfolio?

All gig listings, gig packages, portfolio items, and service descriptions are permanently deleted. Your gigs will be removed from Fiverr search and all optimization work is lost. You cannot export or transfer gigs to a new account.

How long does it take to close my Fiverr account?

After submitting a closure request through customer support, Fiverr typically processes the deletion within 24-48 hours. However, you must first complete all orders and wait for the 14-day clearance period, which can extend the total timeline to 2-3 weeks.

Can I reopen my Fiverr account after closing it?

No. Account closure is permanent and cannot be undone. However, you can create a new Fiverr account using the same email address. You'll start completely from scratch as Level 0 with no gigs, no reviews, no seller history, and no performance metrics.

What is the 14-day clearance period?

Fiverr holds earnings for 14 days after order completion to allow for potential disputes or revisions. Funds become available for withdrawal only after this clearance period. You must wait for all earnings to clear before withdrawal and account closure.

Will buyers still see my completed work after deletion?

Buyers retain the work deliverables you provided, but your profile, gigs, and public presence are removed from Fiverr. Your order history and communication with buyers through Fiverr are deleted. Buyers can no longer access your seller profile or re-order from you.

Important Warnings

Seller Level and Achievements Permanently Lost

When you close your Fiverr account, all seller levels (Level 1, Level 2, Top Rated Seller), badges, achievements, and performance metrics are permanently deleted. These levels take months or years to achieve and cannot be recovered or transferred to a new account. You lose all the credibility and benefits that come with higher seller levels.

Remaining Balance Permanently Forfeited

Any funds remaining in your Fiverr account after closure are permanently forfeited without refund or transfer. This includes earnings waiting in the 14-day clearance period. Fiverr will not issue refunds or process withdrawals for closed accounts. You must wait for clearance and withdraw all funds before deletion.

Cannot Close With Active Orders

Fiverr strictly prohibits closing accounts with active orders, pending deliveries, or late orders. All orders must be delivered and marked complete, or canceled with mutual agreement, before closure is permitted. This can delay account deletion by weeks if you have ongoing projects.

All Reviews and Ratings Permanently Deleted

Your seller rating, all buyer reviews, gig reviews, and feedback are permanently deleted. These reviews build trust and credibility on the platform. If you return to Fiverr with a new account, you start with zero reviews and no social proof, making it difficult to attract buyers.

Gig Portfolio and Services Lost

All gig listings, portfolio items, gig descriptions, pricing tiers, packages, and service offerings are permanently deleted. The time invested in creating, optimizing, and ranking your gigs is lost. You cannot export or transfer gigs to a new account.

Buyer Order History and Favorites Lost

If you're a buyer, all purchase history, favorite sellers, saved gigs, and order records are permanently deleted. You lose access to past deliverables, seller contacts, and order history that might be needed for business records or tax purposes.
