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!!!!
A lot of sellers on Fiverr are selling stolen copyrighted materials like videos, logos, etc.
Fiverr knows that very well and they are partners with those thieves. If you open a ticket, they will ignore it and close it. They simply don't care. They care only how to collect money in any way. No ethics or morals. Fiverr are a bunch of thieves and most of their sellers.
Majority of sellers are scammers, no real way to tell who is and who isn't. Fiverr doesn't care. Even if you get "refund" fiverr still keeps their service charge. Also I said "refund" because it goes back as credit to your fiverr account even if you pay with credit or paypal. You have to open a special request to actually get you money back... of that even works...
I had to report over 100 scammers on fiverr.
They claim they're native English speaking copywriters and they reside in the US.
90 % of them are from NIGERIA and the rest are from other countries. Only 1 or 2 out of 100-200 copywriters are actually English speaking.
I reported all those to fiverr and told them this is fraud and deception.
They suspended my account instead of correcting the fraud!
Fiver customer reps do never care about any of these. Days later I received a canned marketing message. But I have checked the reported profiles weeks after they're still there with misinformation.
Immoral people are there.
I'm kicked out.!
Fiver only keeps exploiting users to make money and has no respect for its users. I have not been able to access my account for months. My money is also blocked. They are just not letting me access the account even after entering the correct login details. Their customer support is not being helpful at all. I think they have found that I wrote negative review about them and that's why they are not letting me login.
They hired a scammer and he took my money and they said pretty much its not there fault. He ask me to paid outside there site. Pressured me and they did not care. I will tell everyone to never use this site because they are all scammer... even the company!
I agreed to a 10 day deadline for an animation project with a seller with up to 7 revisions. He barely made the deadline for the first delivery and it has been an average of 4 days between revisions with poor communication and poor revisions.
I wanted to leave a review of the seller but fiverr disallows that after 14 days after the "delivery". $#*!ed policy. I just want to warn other buyers about this guy but I can't leave a review and the work is still unfinished. Horrible experience. Stupid review policy and useless customer support.
Used it for my first time. If the seller cancels an order for whatever reason, you get NO proper refund! Only a fiverr credit amount. They also charged and refunded the wrong amount to me. I wrote to customer service, they didn't answer my question and they just copied and pasted terms and conditions! Still no refund!
Given that my seller's offer says $5.00 to do an SEO and then quotes way over that amount isn't that false and misleading information and if so shouldn't Fiverr be partially responsible for this kind of false advertising.
Secondly it's interesting that I proposed hiring the seller on his knowledge of Weebly and consequently there was a need for him to having the login email address to my account to do the work and I was advised that sending an email contravenes Fiverr's terms of service.
I'm still awaiting a response from Fiverr's support desk as to how to overcome this.
First, the sellers claiming to be a native English or an American are liars. You have to send a few messages to know they are lying. Then you can see their local time is not in one of the American timezones. If the seller responds to you as "Dear" or says "Alright" instead of "OK" that's a huge red flag. Also, I haven't been active on my account in over a year. I was a level 2 but for some reason, I lost my levels just because I didn't respond again to a conversation that was finished. If you say thank you to someone and they respond "you're welcome" you'll get penalized because you didn't respond back. Last, they take 20% of everything you make. They hold your money for 14 days. If a buyer makes a mistake and cancels an order, this also affects your rating. Fiverr... start using more professionals from America and not the scammers from the rest of the world. Your site might become more credible if you stopped foreigners from posing as Americans.
I have been working here for a long time. Therefore, during my work I can highlight the pros and cons of this site. So, the main advantages are that you can quickly find a job. Orders are added quickly enough. Secondly, there are many orders. Any person with any work experience and without him can find a job. The disadvantage I would single out is that sometimes money comes long enough. For the first time, they came to me only in the evening, although I ordered them again in the morning. But overall the site is good and you can work here.
Being extorted by one of the fiverr consultants after they deleted 17 www sites.
Fiverr refuses to take ANY responsability.
Avoid this if you do not have a passport photo of your consultant.
Fiverr is a terrible choice.
I was looking for music promotion.
I decided to give it a try given the low costs, but I can't say that you pay for what you get.
You get almost nothing and waste a lot of time only.
First seller disappeared after a couple emails back and forth.
I cancelled the order, but you can NOT get your money back if that happens, they stay on your Fiverr "account".
So I searched for another service, which actually delivered the service and it had little to no impact.
Forunately only 5$ wasted, a few hours wasted and many doubts on their policy of keeping the money you put for unsuccessful services.
Would give zero stars but can't... full of scammers and fake reviews... do not hire anyone from this site! Scammed out of money for a service i paid for and did not receive... no customer support! Total scam
There are lots of services being offered on Fiverr. Some of them are so bizarre and unothordox that you will doubt them. I have used Fiverr several times, and I have only been disappointed twice. Many people claim to have their orders cancelled at the last minute (among other numerous complaints), but I'm not sure Fiverr itself is to blame.
Sellers can wait 4-5 days, then just up and cancel your order. Then you can't leave feedback. People on there are insanely flakey, and anyone with less than 500 reviews is very likely to be just one more in an army of shady people. Have people make videos for you, K, that works great but in reality it's worthless! All the value that could be in this site is in people who can write, but they are shady.
Hired an inexperienced seller for a book formatting and illustration project. (Not Fiverr's fault.) Wasn't satisfied with the result and saw the seller wouldn't be able to deliver what I wanted after I got the delivery. Customer support then told me Fiverr has no way for me to pay the seller some amount for his time. Then they said I could ask the seller to cancel the contract and give me a lower cost offer. When I went back to find my last messages with the seller, discovered the messages were not all in one place... or even two places! Only given 3 days to pay or reject the delivery, but getting customer service took most of that. The final straw is that after all that, I discovered I'll never get my "partial refund" back. It will stay on Fiverr as a balance for future projects! That's not happening.
I give this company a 'O'. There site is not set up for you to make changes to an order like "remove" or "go Back" so you can customize your ordering. The order was placed and then a conversation between us and the seller went back and forth. The seller whining about his rating will go down and so he disputed our cancellation. We placed 2nd order so that the order we wanted happen. But the 1st order was what caused the problem. A month later the refund had not happen and now they just want to give store credit. We will not be placing any orders with this company... EVER! We suggest that noon else do either.
If you already have started working on Fiverr, please don't do any higher budget project. You may not get your money. Fiverr has a league with the higher budget clients. This is why this website does not allow you to create a milestone for your work. Therefore, clients can go anytime, taking your complete work for free.
Although FIverr takes charges from you, they always will speak in favour of your buyer. Therefore, if any dispute comes, your client will be the winner. Fiverr will only cancel the work after taking their charges. It means Fiverr will get their charges and clients will get back the rest. Here you are the only loser.
He will be allowed to take your work without paying you a single farthing for it. Even if you send the link where your work is live, Fiverr team will take no action against your client.
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.
