“Fiverr gave me a refund when the seller was crooked”

Arthur H.
1/1/24

This review began as a 1 star, and I changed it to a 5 star. There is a deficiency in the Fiverr software that made me have to rewrite my complaint every time the seller responded. I thought that the seller had figured out the perfect system to make sure the review never reached Support. However, it did reach support, and support resolved the issue within a few hours after I made the complaint.

“Mike Oliver Pakistan”

New Y.
10/28/24

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 started with them way back in 09 or so. When everything was $5, now it's $30-50 dollars so the FIVER is a mis-nomer. I've had countless gigs over the years that were NOT satisfactory, but never charged back, but this last experience of creating a logo for $42 which was the premium price: iamfrk7 charges, who lives in Turkey creates turkeys! Basically used reg fonts you can get for free, + nothing more than cheap clip art attached to it. He claims you get all these different examples, but in the end you only get ONE! Service is totally unacceptable, and the files he finally sent me, will not open in paint to resize even though it has a. Png extention on it, so he did something to it in photoshop so it will not open in paint... have had it with Fiver gig, and this time I will put a claim into paypal for my money back. Total fraud..

I am 10 years experienced freelancer. I was working on fiverr for 1 years. I have all 5 stars reviews with excellent comment. But suddenly my they deactivated my account telling me I violated their terms of service. But when I asked them how I violated terms of serivce and please give me details, they stopped replying. It is not a safe place for freelancer I think. It can't be good for buyers also as fiverr is good for less experienced freelancer for cheap price. A buyer may use less experienced freelancers for price, but it won't be good for your site. As they are less experienced, they will destroy your coding quality.

I've tried Fiverr twice. First time I got causght in a loop of continually awful revisions. I couldn't get my money back from customer service which always gave extra time to the "artist" to do more childish clipart files. I played by their rules and walked away losing my money. This time I carefully chose an artist with over 1k decent reviews and I am stuck in the same continually unsatisfactory revisions when I had a deadline 3 days ago. I went to Paypal and filed a complaint asking for my money returned. I won't lose money again. They did not meet the terms of their CUSTOMER.

If you are looking for something that sounds too good to be true, that is Fiverr. You may get what you wanted. Obviously some people get lucky but if you read their reviews on other sites (not on Fiverr) you will get a picture that represents the real issues. No communication. No deadline No refunds from Fiverr.

After being very happy with a few gigs I bought from Fiverr I was scammed by a seller named Fiverrmaster after ordering a email signature for $5 and a full email template for $40. I only ever received the email sig. This guy Fiverrmaster marked everything complete without ever delivering the full email template. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this seller. For anyone interested I will email the correspondence between us as proof of this arrogant fraud.

Stay away from fiverr... they take a 20% fee from sellers and a 10% proceasing fee from buyers for every gig!

If you are a buyer you will see that for 5 dollars you cant get that good service even if they promise you that... the sellers are usually dumbasses and dont answer to your questions properly... horrible experience!

I have used fiverr before but the sellers are changed and hackers working on fiverr, i had a order placed for backlink building where they even added images this was very poor done wrong images used without asking, and most links did not even worked. I gave a chance to make the changes but also that has been done poorly. So i gave a negative review and what i got was that they hacked my website and injected this costing me lot of money to fix this. I try to get in contact with fiverr but no reaction at all. Now fiverr is a poor service and seller description is not correct a lot of wrong promisses. PLEASE DONT USE FIVERR

You would think that will all the money Fiverr gets they would get a better developer to help with all the horrible and crappy programming this site is the worst and so confusing, now they updated it and it's even MORE confusing. I don't get it! How does this happen- if it was not for such affordable work I would NEVER get back on this site

I've attempted to use Fiverr several times but to be honest the graphic design quality is shocking. The SEO services I've bought have been good. But seriously, if you want a decent logo or graphic design, pay a local person to do it, pay someone with some understanding of marketing and communication.

My biggest irk with Fiverr, is the sellers badging me for a good review when their products have been s**t. I've been generous with some of my reviews and yet I still get emails asking for 5 stars. If it's not worth five stars, I'm not giving it five stars.

I received many emails from your Fivver about my order, but non relating to my questions/emails/problems. I tried to place my order 3-4 times with Fivver but the web site would not connect to the next page. It did, however, accept my payment. I wrote several emails and they did not follow upexcept to ask me to complete my order. They will not respond to my questions and I can't take my payment back, so I'm stuck with nothing. Since they were able to follow through in taking payment but did not follow through in completing my order I guess I consider it a theft. Fivver is incompetent at best and a scam at worst. Buyer beware and talent sellers: go somewhere reputable

To make a website cheaper cost me a lot more. You can't contact the people who does your website or logo, etc directly. They are overseas and communication via the app makes it difficult. I paid for a website developer and a logo. My website got hacked and I can't get ahold of the developer to give me access to my hosting he used. My website is down and I can't get access. I contacted customer support on Fiverr and a girl Vanessa can't even help or doesn't understand that we need to get in contact with the developer. It has been emails back and forth and my website is down and can not be resolved. I paid for something to save money and now that money went to trash cuz I have no website. DO NOT USE THEM. Learn my lesson the bad way, I wishh I should of read the reviews on this app before I worked with them.

The company doesn't protect selelrs like me. A seller named CREATIVEDIANA made me wait for a long time for a gig to be delivered. On the due date, she asked for more information which I provided. After that, she begged to be given more time. Then in the end wants to cancel the gig. What? You just wasted my time, asked for more info and time and in the end you will just cancel. What a very professional worker.

Don't ever work with a seller named CREATIVEDIANA or just simply stay away from Fiverr. Customer support sided with the seller even with my long history of orders. Their loss, not mine.

Tip for consumers:
Don't hire a seller named CREATIVEDIANA or avoid utilizing Fiverr's services.

Someone tried to scam me but i caught that what she was trying to do yet they blocked my account and accused me of bullying I find that interesting because instead of seeing the truth for what it is they did that to me when i have been selling services and buying services and the truth is a lot of what ive bought in the past were scams so you get accustom to not letting yourself be scammed. But when you catch someone getting ready to scam you they punish you for not letting yourself get scammed?! Wtf!

I wish I would have read these reviews first! I tested them with 5$ for a logo but was charged 5.50$ because they wanted. 50cents for a transaction fee. The gig was cancelled by the seller the next day and Fiverr credits me ONLY 5$ back. They told me to find a new seller where the total 5$ credit covers the transaction fees which means I have to find a 4.50$ seller. NOTHING is under 5$ on Fiverr. The site owners are SCAMMERS and I have already been spammed from tricky sellers on that site looking to pull off a scam. HORRIBLE website, stay away, and they need to be investigated. I hope Paypal drops them as a payment gateway ASAP.

Tip for consumers:
Just don't use them, period.

I spent the money and was guaranteed a product in 24 hours. 4 days later, NOTHING! I was able to get the order canceled after Another 24 hours and 5 days later STILL can't get anyone to help me get a refund. Their link doesn't work and there's no phone number to speak to a human being. Terrible experience! I wish I could give ZERO stars!

I just tried this site for the first time. I did not understand some of the choices that I was given for the logo that I ordered, so I tried to keep my request as simple as possible. Glottis1907, responded by telling me that I did not read his site accurately. So, he did not respond to my request, nor did he complete my order. As a FIRST TIME customer, I was disappointed because this is not what I expected, and did not receive my money back. I will not be using this site again, and will post a negative review on the internet as often as I possibly can.

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT WORK WITH GLOTTIS1907 OR use FIVERR.com

Fiverr sucks very much. I just gave an oder to a seller who siince I paid has gone missing, not anwering me. The fiverr policy is that i have to wait for 2 days for the cancellation to take place. The dude who took my money has to accept and then i can get my money and start over again with a nother seller.

THIS SUCKS

They say, if you top rated seller, you will have fast response from costumer service.
Its lie.
Im top rated seller with 95% good review, and last time iam report that someone hack my account. It actually 5 minutes after the hacker do their bad thing to my account. And the response was 5 day after i report it. Then after all they shout down my account and all my money gone. They say, you can withdrawl your money after 40-60 day. But, after 60 day, i contact them again to withdrawn my money, the response was nothing.
Surely, they took all of your money after your effort and hard job. Beware of this site.
The costumer service and security system soo poor.

Fiverr has a rating of F at the BBB.

Also:
The star ratings by each seller on Fiverr are false. The reason for this is that the Fiverr system makes it difficult for buyers to leave feedback. For example if a buyer coomplains to Fiverr often Fiverr will cancel the order and the buyer has not chance to leave the correct feedback. Fiverr favors the seller.
