It can be a good site for making money or purchasing a service. But the rate at which they disable account without investigation sucks. One minute you are a top seller, the next minute your account is permanently disabled. The cry is both for buyers and sellers, and do not even do conclusive investigations on any issue.
They ought to do better, other freelance websites are becoming more attractive now

I am unable to see my order or the artwork from the graphic artist. I submitted a support ticket and when I click on the link provided, I get a message saying "Oops! Page does not exist". LOL! I only spent $13 so it is no huge loss but it did cost me some time. Find a different service and save yourself some headache.

My account was blocked when I tried complaining about an order cancelled 2 months after being marked as completed. They told me to refund the money. I was a great seller, giving customers great service (check the amounts in the photo). They found a non-existent reason to block my account and later blocked my access to Customer Support the same day. Fiverr is really a scam. Please don't use it.

I've tried fiverr a few times and the experience has been exact the same fiverr clearly hires unprofessional people that can't find work and fiverr provides support fiverr earns money the seller too and the buyer looses money and time no protection to the seller this is a true rip off, attached a picture where you'll see 42 messages back and forth with fiverr for them to end up saying sorry you lost your money...

Fiverr for freelancer
April 29, 2020

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.

Tough Love
July 5, 2022

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.

Fiverr.com Sales
December 7, 2015

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.

Apart from losers that have failed to meet any reasonable quality criteria and are now venting their anger over here, the platform is broken in many ways and often ends up being a waste of time for both sides.

A successful conclusion is the exception!

Biggest Scam Ever!
May 18, 2024

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.

Thieves, crooks
April 26, 2024

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.

Scammed
April 28, 2024

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.

Prepare to be spammed
February 18, 2024

I needed a flyer made more appealing and found someone who did a good job quickly. After completing and tipping (fiverr takes a fee of both project and tips) I started to receive cold solicitations for work. I deleted my account, but they still come and customer service won't do jack about it. Don't use the platform if you like having privacy and not using your time to sift through these solicitations.

I contracted one the seller to improve my website However I'm concerned because our website is no longer visible on Google or anywhere else. My google developer has asked me to give her half of the money by PayPal instead of paying Fiverr.

She's ignoring me and not answering any of my messages.

We are really worried, has any ideas how we can get our website back.

**I paid Rs **₹8,186.97 for an order which was never executed. The refund I received is only Rs 5575. 68. What happened to Rs 2611. 29, almost USD 35? Is it the Fiverr fees through the seller for the cheating client?
Almost all the reviews of sellers are purchased systematically making reverse payments.

Fiverr are thieves!
July 25, 2021

In a nutshell They are thieves! Seller produced lousy work and revisions were worse, resolution request was obviously going to go in favour of the seller as they have a financial interest in them after seller refused cancellation.
Fiverr were only interested in supporting the seller and his artistic opinions, even admitting to me they are not qualified in music or producing. The seller butchered a beautiful song which I was to cover. Fiverr refused to get my hard worked for money back, £361 to be precise.
In my opinion I would stay clear of fiverr when you run in to creative problems with a Narcissistic seller, fiverr has their back all the way. You don't have a say when it all goes south and their interest in making their money through the seller far exceeds your customer rights. You'll end up exhausted, depressed and going around in circles until you buckle. In essence. You've lost your money and have no choice but to accept it!
Give them a miss. Stay clear of Fiverr.

*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.

Fraud
July 19, 2022

Everything I have ever received has either been poor quality or a direct rip-off that could get your business in legal trouble. Fiverr customer support will do nothing to help either. I guess you get what you pay for...
Save yourself a headache and money and pay a bit more for a better freelance elsewhere.

Lower quality of seller
March 6, 2024

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.

Poor billing service and freelancers not so expert
February 14, 2022

The billing system is very rigid, you need to enter the right billing info from the beginning which is not clearly stated unless you contract service, and then it is too late. And you will never be able to change the old billing information. So you just lose your money using this page.
As usually, you can find low-quality work where they send very nice work in the test picture and then for the rest is just a low-quality one.

Overview

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with some customers appreciating the affordability and variety of services available, as well as the potential for building long-term relationships with freelancers. However, significant concerns dominate the feedback, particularly regarding delayed payments, unresponsive customer support, and a perceived lack of accountability for both sellers and buyers. Many users express frustration over unresolved disputes and the platform's failure to ensure transparency and quality among its freelancers. This highlights a critical need for improved customer service and stricter oversight to enhance user trust and satisfaction.
