Fiverr

They took my money and close my account for no reason!

This is the text of their email:

Useless to say I NEVER done what thay say...

Stay far from Fiverr

Horrible! Don't use this service. I ended up with a website designer with 113 five star review, Level 2.

I paid him $200. He then demanded $90 saying he had underestimated. When I declined to pay, he threatened to destroy my website. That's exactly what he did!

I complained to customer service and they did nothing and apparently are still allowing him on the website.

Did not get final product, harassment from seller to give her 5 stars Fatine graphics, didn't understand English, the woman used online translator, I gave up on that gig loosing the money to a fake. You get better options doing it yourself. Read all reviews specially the bad ones and the not so bad. Just writing "awesome jobs" means is a friend of the seller.

I believe this is the difference between those who have lost their money and the experience I'm having. I was directed to this person through contacts on Amazon.com from whom she also works. From the start we agree there would be no $5.00 teaser rates. Her rate ranges from 25 -30 a chapter depending on length. I'm constant contact with her concerning the changes she feels need to be made. It's slow work, but my fledgling book is turning into a novel I'm going to be proud of. Her handle is pamelaanderson6 and she's book editor.

I'm pretty sure most of the "designers" there are scammers. I purchased a gig, (extremely cheap and you get what you paid for), they took up to 20 hours to deliver the revisions and at the 6th or 7th I had to look myself for examples for them to understand what I wanted. Thanks to that I found out they were working over pre-made free images from Shutterstock. Not only they didn't get what my idea was (no wonder why) but they didn't even work on making an original design.

Attached is what they sent me (geekirumi) and what they were using in the first place.

Fiverr are not interested in resolving issues when work is not done.
Better to use Upwork our any platform that has third party hold money until work is done.
I paid upfront twice to same worker. I was happy to give work to developing country people. But after initial engagement there was none after they got the money.

DO NOT use Fiverr! Very unethically run business. I ordered a logo to be developed from the same designer I had previously used, but she had me pay for the order up front (BAD idea... won't do that again) and then never delivered anything. After a MONTH of asking her where my order was, she claimed personal problems and that she couldn't do my logo but had already spent my money so... oh well. Seriously!? This is unbelievable! I contacted Fiverr but they would not refund my money or even offer a credit. HORRIBLE business practices. They stole my money and delivered nothing in return. Pretty sure that's illegal! Run the other way!

I've bought many times in different sections. From art to voiceover and web design. The sellers are really professional and have lots of reviews, the community is active and supportive in reviews. I see small sellers get a few reviews and take off like crazy. And the people love their jobs- there's a blog sharing about it. I've never had any issues with Fiverr. I've done freelance work online and Fiverr offers a much easier platform for new beginners than many freelance bidding sites- which are much more competitive and far less personal.

Fiverr learn courses are so bad, they are covered with phony money back guarantee.
First in fine print they say if you watch 100% of the course you will NOT be refunded. Okay I watched 40%.
Second if you ask for refund they cannot locate the order (sent screenshots)
Third: they are not quite sure, is there an order, they ask again! (re-sent)
Fourth: they will let the relevant team check it out
Fifth: they ignore you completely and go IN SILENCE!

They are scammers, don't honor any money back gaurantee!

Immediately sends me a message asking if I want "unlimited revisions" for an add'l $15 and recommended that I "trust" him/her. The "gig" that I bought said unlimited revisions were included. Yeah, no. I don't trust anyone until they earn my trust. Sent me a completely $#*!ty logo I could have done myself. $6 lesson learned.

Seller didn't deliver 3d logo that I paid 138 euro for.
Fiverr support keeps defending seller and basicly keeps giving the seller deadlines he doesn't meet.
Paid 7 day delivery now over 2 months
Stay away from Fiverr or just give your money to charity

I have been trying to get a logo made for an organization I am starting. The first designer I worked with was great, professional, quick, etc I just didnt like the final product. I paid for it but don't plan on using it. The next three either failed to respond, failed to complete, or falsely advertised and tried to get me to pay more. I also did not receive my refund from Fiverr. Bad company, unethical designers...

Fiverr is a cool site for making money online and they have some interesting gigs to buy and valuable services. It's not the greatest site in the world but it's neat and I like it. Also, their gifts section has a TON of cool, unique gifts for Christmas presents etc.

I hired a seller (anna_isk) to help me with coding. She took her sweet time and wasted mine. Project never got finished and I am stuck with code thats useless. Fiverr didn't step in to help and the seller is still on Fiverr selling and has an "excellent" rating. Total crap website. Fiverr allows medicore freelancers to use their platform and doesn't protect the rights of buyers. Just don't use this website. It's a waste of time and you will loose your money. Upwork has its negative elements, but way better than Fiverr.

I paid $55 for a logo and artwork. I was sent one draft which was terrible. The artist, through broken English, told me it was "my fault." I simply asked for a refund, which he refused. I contacted Fiverr support, and went back and forth with them a dozen times -- all they will do is "ask seller for a refund" and ask you to jump through hoops, but never actually deliver. I was never delivered anything beyond a mock-up (not the PSD files I pad for) -- yet they wouldn't refund anything. I eventually contested the charge with Paypal, who thankfully refunded it. I ended up paying a local graphic artist a higher rate, and was THRILLED to. $5 is too much for the junk on that site, let alone $55. Terrible stressful experience. Avoid like the plague.

I found a "gig" that was modern vintage provided a bunch of information and photos etc. what I got was some really hokey work. Although it's listed as guaranteed, in the end you will pay a lot more having to dole out to various "gig" designers to find one that actually delivers the quality of work they show esp. Since you have to pay upfront. Fiverr doesn't honor guarantees unless seller doesn't deliver. This whole thing is a scam.

Paid $11 for a flyer that even after 7-8 modifications (or whatever the word is) turned out like my 12 year old did it. I can't believe someone who has such a high rating for making flyers could be so incompetent on what I wanted. Still gave Fiverr another shot and paid $6 for a google review. The lady promised me it was all good and that google wouldn't delete it paid for the work and a week later google deleted the review? I'll chalk that up to karma but still it was all waste of money and a reminder that if you want anything done right do it your self or pay big $$.

First of all if you're looking to hire someone for something lewd to write, don't say anything in the chat to your hiree about details because they'll flag your account as inappropriately talking in chat. Plus a lot of the buyers seem to just be desperate people trying to make a quick buck while not listening to you and writing their own thing. Do not use this site.

I was a buyer on fiverr for a long time before I was a seller. I had all of my book covers made on fiverr. When I decided to start freelance ghostwriting, I gave fiverr a try. It's been amazing as a seller. I get great clients. I work on really interesting projects, and I'm making a few thousand bucks a month. There are some rotten sellers on Fiverr and more plagiarism than I'd care to see on the site. However, buyers can avoid these scammers, by doing their due diligence, looking through reviews, and be willing to pay higher rates. No one who is actually doing the writing is going to take $5 for 3000 words. Use common sense when picking a seller, and you'll be fine. Sellers at Level Two or Top Rated are more likely to be decent.

I did not had a good experience as buyer on fiverr. The seller (thesocial...) was not responsive and responsible to my questions which resulted in my waste of time. Even after repeated request for reply she did not respond.

I am a buyer for this site. I ordered some banners for my business and for whatever reason both orders totalling $61 were cancelled and the funds placed in my fiverr balance, only problem with this is there is no way of transferring that money to your bank account. I paid via Paypal so I expect refunds to go back to my original payment method- PayPal. I was left with no option but to open a dispute with Paypal and now I'm getting emails telling me that my fiverr account has been restricted and guess what?! The $61 has vanished! This is a nightmare of a company- I've emailed them and they never get back to you. I should have seen the warning flags from the start, I mean what company doesnt have a contact number? Their contact email is not easy to find either. Steer clear of this company everyone, whether you're a buyer, like me, or a seller. Something dodgy about these cowboys. Thankfully I paid with Paypal so I'm hoping I can escalate it with them and receive a full refund.

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.

This is the worse place!! They make all kinds of promises and take your money. When you contact customer support, it's...."sorry about your luck" And then they want you to give them more money with another scammer. If you want to throw money away, at least throw it in the streets. Maybe a homeless person will find it and have a good meal. This place sucks!!!!
