Shenko, Incorporation
I paid actualreviewnet $565.00 for a website after using him to make a logo. He never delivered my website. I messaged him several times if 2 months and he ignored me. I finally contacted fiverr support and apparently they will not help becauSe the fiverr "gig" for too old while I never received replies back from the Actualreviewnet.
I don't understand how someone can take $500.00 from you provide you with nothing in return and keep your money. I don't understand how fiverr can not help their clients. I am going to contact my credit card for the dispute now.
Don't use fiverr but if you do do not use Actualreviewnet. I promise it's a big mistake and I can give you $565.00 reasons to back up what I said. I am so upset about this situation that I am going to build a website dedicated to this fiverr vendor explaining how he ripped me off and how fiverr did not help
Used to be level 2 seller there for 8 years. I had an outstanding record and one morning Fiverr decided to disable my account and all sellers within my niche the gigs were removed. Sent numerous questions to ask why did they shut me down the only answer I got is "breaking TOS". The so-called "TOS" are made in a way to punish always the seller. Nevertheless, no TOS was broken.
I don't recommend Fiverr because the sellers are hit and miss. They also have terrible customer service. Here's my experience:
Their refund policy is upsetting. I cancelled an order **respectfully** and successfully. The money is sent back to my account. There is nowhere in the help center for refunding the money back into the bank. Found it on the forum I should go to customer service. I submit a ticket, there is no confirmation email nor does it show up on my requests. Maybe that is a bug on my end, but that doesn't change the fact that it was still sent *successfully*. I wait more than 48hrs for Fiverr to reply, but there is nothing in my email. I take to PayPal for help. I message Fiverr through PayPal and they give Fiverr 48hrs to reply but again they ignore it. I wait about 72hrs and I escalate the issue with PayPal. Finally they respond and what they say is *we have disabled your acccount* for escalating the issue with PayPal. Great. I don't care at this point, I want the money back. I'm never using Fiverr again. I submitted another ticket so hopefully they'll reply this time. There's still no confirmation email and it's not showing up in my requests in the help center. I'm just so infuriated.
Mostly because of buyers who want that someone work for them for free. They order first after getting the results they will just start the dispute as work not completed such that they get refund or either they will give the bad review.
If you are a freelancer who likes having 20% of your earnings taken from you for each order you get, Fiverr is for you. If you like building an entire client base from the ground up for years and then having them all stripped away and your account blocked for no reason, Fiverr is for you. If you want to complete hours and hours of work, only to have the customer cancel the order once they've received said work (essentially for free now) then Fiverr is for you. This company has screwed me so many times I can't even count them. I had 100+ five star reviews, several orders a day, and happy customers. Then they decided my editing services didn't align with their standards anymore and shut me down in a matter of a day. Never contacted me, just erased me. Thus, I lost my main source of income. They are the worst platform for freelancers that I have ever seen. Totally and completely unethical company who takes a huge part of your earnings even though you do 100% of the work. This company is a leech on the hardworking freelance world. STAY AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN!
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 just had the worst experience ever with Fiverr. Did this happen to anyone else I? After seller stretched me out 4 extra days submitting beyond amateur work, I cancelled the GIG (after I warned the seller of this). The seller went rage on me. He has been stalking me all social media, he sends me emails and has threatened to ruin my business. All the seller insisted on was a 5* review even though I didn't feel that to be true.
I approached fivver and noone has contacted me back. The seller got even more upset at one point I'm presuming after Fiverr contacted him.
This site is going to crash. It now has so many fake people posing as pros when they're not even close to it. It is misleading buyers. It's a site that promotes garbage quality work for dirt cheap pricing from 3rd world countries. Noone is tracking authenticity.
I'm done with fiverr.
Fiverr.com can help you build recognition as an independent sales person in your niche market and is a very easy website to use and the communication from staff is friendly and conversational.
A cont of Fiverr is the limited ways to get paid, mostly relies on Paypal with additional fees.
FIVERR FRAUD COMMENT
Yes, definitely fiverr is a great scam community. Remember fiverr moderators are very cheap and irresponsible. They are always for byers side becoz
If buyer dispute payment from paypal then your money deducted from your fiverr wallet and money will be refunded to buyer and, our work and time goes
Waste. I have requested and created ticket too much time but they were never responded correctly. In last i leave hope to get money back. And i lost
My $65. In my suggestion to all seller dont sell your service in fiverr, search other best communities. Your money is not safe in fiverr and there
Are many strict rules provided day by day for sellers on fiverr. FIVER IS FRAUD COMMUNITY.
Due to the New TOS they won't care if you spent 4 years from your life in fiverr and have more than 2000 reviews, in the first second you getting complain from buyer they will remove your level and block your account in the next time.
$#*! you fiverr.
I really like Fiverr. I use the site all the time for various needs related to my business including voiceovers, social media graphics, web design, Google indexing, Logos, ads, etc.
I have been pleased overall and there are a few freelancers I use on a regular basis. Just make sure you check out the person's profile. I tend to use Level 1 and Level 2 sellers. I've only had a few gigs that didn't turn out the way I wanted, but overall, I've achieved a lot of goals through Fiverr and plan to continue using the site.
I created a fiverr account and I purchased a service and I waited for the service to be received to close my account.
I do not know why
My money was stolen
Do not waste your time
Horrible place. It charges money and gives nothing back and it's not improving.If I complete a $10 job it takes $2 from it and also I have to wait 14 days to redeem my money.
Most enquiries ask endless questions and ask for highly involved tasks to be completed, but then never actually book. The small number that do book, specify the tasks extremely nebulously and then deliberately request endless revisions to try and push your buttons and waste your time. Save yourself agro by finding quality individuals who respect you in business.
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
After an appallingly bad vocal recording this site still hasn't managed any meaningful dialogue nor a refund. Truly a ship of fools.
Fiverr to me has improved alot during the past year in terms of banning sellers. Etc I will recommend to anyone now. Especially sellers.
The site is potentially interesting but there is no control by those offering the service. So I found myself paying for the construction of a website that 3 months after the deadline not only was not delivered to me but the one who was dealing with it has disappeared by deleting her account. I wastes so my time and money as well because the guy askd me to buy the adress of it. Fortunately, at least I was repaid by Fiverr for what I paid to them, even if the repayment procedure is not at all immediate.
The quality of my logo design was LAUGHABLE. A kindergarten class with a bucket of fingerpaint could have designed a better logo. I found the font used on a website that stated not for commercial use without paying for a license and the graphic was an absolute joke. It only takes one negative experience to lose a customer forever. Fiverr needs to have these "graphic designers" submit a resume and ORIGINAL work done. The portfolio I viewed was NOT the designer's work. There is no way. I don't leave reviews often but when something is THIS bad, I feel compelled to keep others away from nonsense. Now I'm out 42 bucks.
Answer: I used Fiverr for my company logo. The guy lives in Vietnam and speak minimal English. I paid for an upgraded package with an unlimited amount of revisions, 3 original logos, stationary and Facebook as well as Twitter page covers. What does unlimited mean if a revision takes 24 hours and each revision is correcting spelling mistakes or telling him you don't want a green dog in your logo, I want a natural looking dog. His response is "you choose font and gives you a pale old lady stockings colour dog" instead of a white Dalmatian with black dots or a brown German Shepard. In the end I used an online translator to translate my requests from English to Vietnamese. He told me to sketch something and he'd make something. If I could sketch something then I would do my own logo. The one logo that I liked was the one I gave him all my ideas for. All he did was put it together in the right format. I was so frustrated with his other two attempts that I said ok give me the first logo with stationary and everything I've paid for. I got the most basic design, no stationary or headers. Did I go through customer service? OF COURSE! Throughout this whole ordeal. I described every little detail. Each time a different person would reply and say "I can understand your frustration and I will contact him". Only to have him return with the same dog in orange or turquoise and every time customer service would spit out the same line "I can understand your frustration and I will contact him. We see he is responding to you within 24 hours so for us that means you are trying to work things out. I want my money back! Sorry we can't give you your money back. The seller has received his money and its up to him to give you any money back if he so chooses. It was a dreadful experience. I ended up using an online logo maker and I loved it. PLUS it actually cost less. I'm now doing my own website. If you have the patience then try to do it yourself. Do NOT skimp on your website. The way the world is run today you want your website and all social media presence to correctly reflect your quality. If at the end I'm not happy with my website I will go to a professional and pay what it costs. Hope this helped and good luck
Answer: I know I have to wade through a lot of questionable sellers to get a good one. Happy hunting. There are good ones out there though.
Answer: All I can say id Fiverr is the BIGGEST SCAM going. Had to dispute the charges through my bank to get the money back
Answer: Stay far away from fiverr. I paid a guy to do some work and proved with third party techniques they used bots for fake views to my site. Yet this guy had many many great reviews. You cannot trust this site whatsoever. Stick with paypal as you most likely will get nowhere with fiverr.
Answer: If you want a site designed to steal credit card data from hard-working, civilized people, please use Fiverr. It is designed for one thing: to take your credit card data and leave you to deal with a mess. More details, reply or search for my previous posts.
Answer: I can only imagine you got swindled and feel bad about the fact you trusted someone. Don't feel bad, you did nothing wrong. There are sites who take the time to vet their sellers and then there are sites like Fiverr who let's anyone to join with zero check on their credentials. The entry into selling on Fiverr is so easy that it borders on ridiculousness. Anyone can lie about their location, experience, education, and just about any credentials. Some of them are really clever and mask their fake profile pictures and gig descriptions really well. Fiverr is so secretive about their vetting process, which I seriously doubt there is anything in writing, that you can't trust it. The seller's level is a joke - I've gotten cheated by ones with thousands of reviews. How they received literally a thousand or more review is mind boggling. Go back and check again, you'll notice like 99.9% of the million or so sellers all have 5 star reviews. All legitimate businesses have a combination of good and bad reviews, most average around 3/5 or if they are a really great business 4/5 but for a large company with like a million or so freelancers with zero credentials having 5/5 pretty much tells you there is something wrong. Like I said, you did nothing wrong. I hope you didn't lose too much money. Their philosophy is "We don't care how crappy the delivery was as long as the seller delivered you don't get your money back."
Answer: The answer is plain simple NO! You will get your followers, yes! But they are all bots, so you will lose 90% of the followers the same week, might as well throw this 5 bucks in the air.
Answer: There is very little in the world that is unique. You have to trust or spend a lot more $$$ or do it yourself
Answer: I would suggest having nothing whatsoever to do with Fiverr. When things go wrong - and that happens a LOT - there is no customer support line to call. They make it very difficult (in my own case, impossible) to resolve any problems. Read the evaluation reviews- they are extremely negative. My advice: find another site on which to offer your services. DG
Answer: I've had 28 orders and all but two were very satisfactory. Most were PDFform building or business card templates, but I had s few design logos for me then used the one I liked. Buyers: it's cheap. Remember that. When the service is good I tip generously then use the same person. I get great service, often in one day. When I order, I add express service and have yet to be disappointed. It's a business model without customer service. Face it. If you want customer service, go to Nordstroms or Nieman Marcus. Do a better job selecting your service provider; be clear in the order, and overpay.
