Using your inbox and notifications

Your inbox is where all Fiverr communication between buyers and sellers takes place.
Your notifications are where you'll receive updates about what's going on with your orders and Fiverr account.

How it works

Your inbox is where you send, receive, and view all your messages with buyers/sellers.

To access your inbox as a buyer:

  1. Click the envelope/message icon at the top of the page.
  2. To view all your messages, click "See All in Inbox."

To access your inbox as a seller:

  1. You can view your messages on the left side of the page.
  2. To view all your messages, click "View All."

Note: Within a conversation, you can see the buyer's online status and local time.
You can also view more information regarding the buyer—such as average response time, spoken languages, order history with the buyer, and if they are a Top Buyer on Fiverr.

Video calls
