Fiverr

I hired Mike Oliver from Pakistan on 9/14 with the agreement the work would be done in 10 days. He tricked me into pre-paying by telling me he would be my personal designer so I paid him and he has never done the work. He is a scam artist do not hire him. Fiverr has no actual customer service available, only AI. I have sent countless emails that have gone largely unanswered.

I have been a loyal Fiverr seller for 7 months and have successfully delivered high-quality work to my clients, totaling $2,500 in earnings. Recently, I faced a major issue that deeply affected my trust in Fiverr's platform.

Six of my completed orders, worth $800 in total, were canceled without any fault of my own. These projects had already been approved and rated 5 stars by my client. Despite this, the funds were deducted from my account. Fiverr support initially emailed me stating that the amount would be refunded, but later reversed this decision without a clear explanation.

When I contacted support, I received a vague response stating that the refund process had been canceled. However, I met all the requirements for these earnings. My client is also willing to confirm their satisfaction with my work, yet the platform refuses to resolve the issue.

This situation feels unfair and unprofessional, as it penalizes me for circumstances beyond my control. If my account hadn't had enough funds, Fiverr would have had to cover the refunds themselves. Why is this responsibility placed solely on me?

I urge Fiverr to take responsibility for this situation, as these actions damage the platform's credibility and trustworthiness for freelancers. As a seller, I worked hard to provide quality service and ensure customer satisfaction, and this should not result in financial loss for me.

I hope Fiverr resolves this issue soon. Otherwise, I will be forced to take further action, including sharing this experience across other platforms and seeking legal advice.

The seller conned me into closing out my order and did no work. I contacted Fiverr and they are just giving me the run around, they keep asking me the same questions just waiting for me to give up, they arent trying to help me. They asked for pictures and video of the issues and they didnt even look at it. BEWARE OF THESE VENDORS ON HERE! If you have a problem dont expect Fiverr to help you!

It was not addressed, I was conned by the seller. Be careful sending large amounts of money to anyone on Fiverr. Beware of Khawaja Usama for website design.

I chose Fiverr to produce my music and selected a top-rated freelancer with all 5-star reviews. I placed my order, expecting to receive a professionally mixed and mastered final song file as promised. Instead, I faced constant delays and excuses. The freelancer kept asking for more time, citing personal issues, and eventually convinced me to complete the order without delivering the file, promising it would come later. Because he said he needs money badly and he is in crises. If i complete order would be easier for him to work and complete

Despite repeated requests, I never received anything. I opened a case on Fiverr and left feedback. The freelancer begged for another chance, and Fiverr suggested I work it out with him. I reluctantly agreed, but after 10 more days, the freelancer blatantly refused to deliver anything, knowing that the claim date had passed. He even taunted me, saying that after working with Fiverr for five years, he knew I wouldn't get a refund or the product.

I provided Fiverr with evidence, including screenshots of the open dispute and their team's advice to resolve it directly with the freelancer. Yet, they refused to help, stating the claim date had expired. I was left with nothing – no product, no refund, and no support from Fiverr.

This was the worst experience ever. I feel scammed out of my money, and Fiverr's handling of the situation was appalling.

My seller account was on hold or something before 5 months and fiverr asked me to wait for 90 days and withdraw my money $400+ in my account. I could not withdraw my money last week so I raised a ticket on fiverr and fiverr didn't reply at all. Hence, I had to post a review on trustpilot. Within a few hours, my account was permanently disabled and fiverr wants to me to want for 90 more days.

Isn't this illegal that fiverr playing some kind of revenge game?

Fiverr should be taken down.

Insane site run by religious freaks, who allow sellers to harass about Jesus, then ban you if you don't want that. And then steal your money. These psychos belong behind bars. Insane.

Biggest scam I have ever seen. Fees are applied everywhere you turn. Be aware, you only going to get a tiny proportion of the actual amount, by the time you withdraw, plus you will have to wait at least "10 years" to be able to withdraw your money. Customer service don't exist at Fiverr, its like their run by 2 rats in a bedroom. Stay away from these scammers, there are plenty better then them, use Guru, Toptal, PeoplePerHour, Freelancer, Truelancer, Outsourcely.

Never leave money in your account. They make it hard to get funds out and make you wait, wait and wait. I suspect they make money keeping funds way longer than needed in their account. We are busy sir. How many millions per day, interest, do they keep like this? I guess Israeli legal systems don't care. Horrible experience dealing with this platform.

I've been a buyer on this platform for 7 years and I am fed up with the deteriorating quality of the sellers, and I've had enough of falling victim to scam after scam from fake offers. It's become a daily frustration, and the lack of action from Fiverr is unacceptable. The negligence in monitoring and maintaining the integrity of the marketplace is driving buyers away. It's time to wake up and realize that if you don't prioritize the improvement of seller standards, you will lose your entire buyer base.

According to support agent Milo. I can give my freelancer a 1 star review and then ask the freelancer to do extra work for free so that I will remove the review. This is totally allowed on fiverr. No need to thank for the tip. "Best!"

Worst service I have used due to the secure payments 😂 I made a purchase a few days ago and my card got scammed a few hours after for $200. They hi light how secure their payment platform is but it's not. It was lucky I blocked my card and only $200 was taken. I have been messaging the customer support team and they are aware the issue from their side and offered to reinstate me the $10 for the service I purchased from them but not willing to reinstate me the money taken from their unsecure website. Please be careful using their website and don't get caught out like I did.

If you live in the US, this site is basically completely worthless. In a nutshell, people in 3rd World countries use it to provide services for a fraction of the cost that people in the US charge because their cost of living and exchange rate is so much cheaper. So it is literally impossible to get work if you live in the US. Fiverr also deactivates your account if you don't manage to get work anyway. Do not waste your time.

*Edit- I was able to get my money refunded and put back into my paypal account; for this, I improved the rating. * I picked an artist based on the image he had with his profile that demonstrated his level of expertise/work. What he offered after I paid was not even close; I requested to cancel the order and get a refund. He begged me to give him a chance to make it right. I really did not want to continue but I acquiesced and gave him a chance. I was right he still tried to beg me but eventually agreed to cancel my order. There are no features on the website show me how to get to my money or communicate with anyone. Links don't seem to work. The email I received from Fiverr did have instruction i was able to follow and received my refund within just hours of requesting.

This is the easiest way to get project done. Outsourcing your weakness can save you and your company a lot of valuable time and help you focus on your strengths. The pricing is super reasonable considering there are people from all over the world competing for your money / attention. You can build long term relationships and get pricing down if you continue to work with sellers.

Fiverr is extremely strict when it comes to following the rules there. It is expected that the terms and conditions are thoroughly read and that the rules are abided by. I have seen a lot of people complaining about the partial treatment in favour of the buyers so I'd like to address that. I have had a few issues with buyers as a seller there and I do not hesitate to contact support. I have experienced wonderful service and treatment from them and though the replies may be a bit generic, consistent follow-up usually gets you the answer you are looking for.

I'd advise sellers to reread their terms and to thread the site with caution because of ill-minded buyers (that are also on every other site).

In conclusion, Fiverr has been very helpful to me both financially and knowledge-wise (I am a college student, the extra money really helps). I hope my review helps and clears some doubts and questions you may have.

I use these people for many types of advertising including postings on Backpage and Craigslist. They are absolutely great and very cheap. You can't get anyone to do work like this for the price.

I've ordered about 8 "gigs"... had some really good work done and have only had one bad gig that totally didn't deliver what they had promised, and I gave them a correspondingly bad review. However, reaching out to Customer Service for a different issue has been a major pain in the@#$. They take a VERY long time to respond and then finally come up with an answer that doesn't even match your question.

Great way to make a quick $5 as long as you have something of value to offer and it's in demand. The worst thing about this site though, is that when you do successfully make a sale, they place your payment on hold for 2 weeks! After that you can then withdraw through paypal, but keep in mind Fiverr does keep $1 so you really only get $4

I've bought and sold on Fiverr for the last 3 years and find it very reliable. It is so much easier to use than any other freelance site I can find, and a lot less expensive on both sides! There are a few minor bugs and of course there is always someone trying to scam someone else (EVERY website has this, people!) but I've learned to work with the flow and enjoy the extra income and the extremely cheap business and personal services!

Fiverr.com is the site where one can order or complete various tasks for different amounts of money. The prices range from $5 to hundreds of dollars, and the tasks can be anything: writing blog entries, translating, creating company logos, advertising a product, or creating a personal postcard for someone's loved one. The website is perfect for those who need part-time jobs, but one can also make a good amount of money on Fiverr alone.

The downside of this website is that you have to wait for 15 days to withdraw your funds. Also, Fiverr takes 1/5 of your payment as a fee. So if your service costs $5, you will get only $4 dollars back. It's nice to keep it in mind when deciding on a price. This is the only reason why I am giving this website 4 stars, and not 5. The fee could be a bit lower, and the withdrawal period should definitely be shorter.

Had few jobs done, some delivered total rubbish, which I asked to be reviewed and amended.
Others delivery very good quality jobs.
The more expensive are not always the best ones.
So I never choose them and always start with small tasks.

There are some incredibly talented providers to be found on FIVERR and some great prices, but if you want customer service or a company that cares what your thoughts are as a customer, you DON'T WANT FIVERR. They already take a significant cut of the money you pay including if you try and tip your provider and then they make money sending you AD MAILS by promoting providers which have paid them. I have done approximately 150 jobs with FIVERR providers and as such they have made good money off of me. I have emailed, chatted and tried calling to ask that they do not send me these ad emails. On average I get five a week, which is oever 250 pollution emails annually in MY BOX THAT I AM PAYING TO USE...they won't even respond. So in short to heck with them, I will look for other provider like possibly UPWORK and spend some time every day posting so that everyone knows what an awful operation they are. Providers there are GREAT but the company itself sucks hard

If you are a buyer/ seller on fiverr who reading this, I want to tell you that please move away from Fiverr because it is now filled with scammers and frauds. I had my account for nearly six years and I was an active seller for past 4 months. Suddenly fiverr decided to close my account by saying that "Services that you offer harm the integrity of our marketplace and violate our Community Standards".

All I have done is reporting a scammer who asked me to contact them on Telegram. I was an AI artist on Fiverr and that scammer messaged me and asked me to contact them on telegram because they want my services regarding a project related to naked images. I confronted them by saying I am not willing to work with scammers and I reported their messages. After like 1 hour, I received an email saying that "my account has been disabled ". All i did was reporting this shi*ty scammer. Idiots who work in fiverr decided to close my account instead.

In summery following are the issues with Fiverr according my 6 years of experience,

1. There is no any protection towards the seller.
2. Sellers who offer good quality services either left this platform or their accounts got disabled without any reason/warning.
3. It is now filled with low quality sellers who are willing to run away with buyers' money.
4.If you are a seller, any buyer with bad intentions can exploit the system and have their work done for free. As of now they can even leave a bad review after that.
