What can existing sellers do?
Unfortunately, there is no provision of converting your existing profile into a pro profile.
You can retain the old gig and create a new pro gig offering different services.
No existing level will be discarded by Fiverr so your old gigs will continue to function fine. You can operate through both profiles.
Fiverr pro aims at making the online marketplace a highly professional space with certified sellers who are handpicked.
A quality guarantee coupled with safe transactions will make this version highly desirable.
The new version will also make life easier for both talented sellers as well as large scale buyers who do not have the time or energy to filter profiles on their own.
A easy hassle free process which helps the buyers meet the sellers and do simple transactions is assured.
“As our marketplace has evolved, we’ve recognized the growing demand from entrepreneurs for bigger and more complex projects that sometimes need highly professional freelancers with years of experience”, said Micha Kaufman, Fiverr CEO in a company release.
