Fiverr

Fiverr is the worst if you are looking for freelancer to do some digital work for you.
1-The site is setup in a deceiving way, what you see is not what you get... things turn out to be even worst when trying to deal with the freelancers or the Fiverr staff.
2-Not very good sellers there either... you find the odd good one there but in general they go with the way the site is setup to fool you into paying more.

My advice: DO NOT USE FIVERR.

This is one of the worst companies I have ever come across. They read all your messages and because they misinterpreted what some people were asking for they deleted my account without warning(but allowed other vendors to stay on the site when they were offering the exact same service), they withheld my earnings in their account for close to 2 months and claimed that it was my fault for not knowing how to use my computer correctly to withdraw the funds, and they are extremely unprofessional in their practices. They also take a huge cut of the earnings and then they won't even release them in a timely way. I had to wait 8 weeks, and the only reason I got my money was because I told them Id report them to the BBB and other online sites, which I plan to do for as long as it takes to make this company realize they can't treat people this way.

Skeptical as i am, I hired 5 designers all of them did horrible no effort work, was told i have to accept and they get to keep the money. So nothing I can use and they keep the money. Mind you every artist of the 5 uses extortion techniques, You buy 3 logos they only show one and say they will give you the other 2 only if you accept the order and rate 5 stars.

All in all they took our companies money not a big deal. Was worth it, to know I shouldn't ever use them. Is hard to remain professional when I've never had training on how to handle extortion of services.

The sellers on Fiverr are unprofessional and mostly just simply scammers. The sellers are aggressive and use abusive language because they know Fiverr will support them. Fiverr charge commission from both sides from sellers and also from buyers. I ordered on Fiverr simple Forex indicator and when the seller was unable to complete order he said me literally "go $#*! yourself!" Even I reported the seller behaviour, Fiverr didn't anything and seller continue selling. Many gigs are from the same sellers or even Fiverr own accounts pretending the sellers.

This is the last message I sent to Fiverr.com;

I placed an Order: #FO18F694D1A5 with graphics girl, she sent me a logo I did not like at all, very poorly designed, not only that; but even my first name in the logo is spelled wrong.
I sent her more than three messages, she never replied, then I sent you guys two messages, again no reply from you either, it seems to me that you collect the money but you don't deliver.
I will wait two days, if I don't hear from you then; I think you leave me no choice but to contact the proper channels to resolve this issue. Also I will leave a detailed review with the design for people to see.
I want my full refund of $27.00, Because I have been in business for 35 years and never encountered cons like you guys.
Your reply is appreciated.

Never deal with these guys, unless you want to throw your money away, and get nothing..

Been working as a freelancer for over 11 years and working thru fiverr since 2013. The just cancelled a completed order from the work of a customer even without intimating. When questioned raised racist comments about my identity and integrity based on my country of origin.
The answer is "if a customer complained about a seller, even without inquiring, they will cancel the order invariable of it is a worthy complaint" and wont consult will a seller as they see sellers are always wrong!

We are buyers. This is a story about losing customers quickly.
Teh first impression is that the site is nicely organised and its quite easy to find the right candidate(s). We negotiated our first project with a seller. All good. Seller sent an offer. Great.
We are not able to Accept the offer. Weird. We jumped through a few hoops, discovering that we had to complete some more details. Fine.
But we are still not able to accept the offer. Then we discovered that all messaging is blocked.
Ploughing through forums (always a bad start in our view) we understand that Fiverr has an anti-spamming policy. Which is admirable. We had a negotiation with one person, resulting in an offer. Thats not spamming.
Then we tried to lodge a support case but could not proceed because we didn't have an order. Correct, we can't accept the@#$%&* order.

We simply closed the account. Can't be bothered wasting time on a platform that aims to throw up barriers every step of the way.

I tried to make a new logo for my company. I thought I can save a lot of money by working with the graphic designer at fiver.com. However, the quality of service was horrible. The designer didn't follow my request at all. She created something totally different from my re quest. Although I was upset, I asked to revise the logo politely and gave my direction very precisely. At that time, the designer gave me something outrageous; just trying to piss me off. In stead of responding back to the designer, I requested fiver.com to refund my money. However, the customer service ignores my request for a week now.

I have not use them for over a year so it's conceivable that things have changed.
Spoiled by success?

I have used this service more than 20 times for very VERY good work. The few times it wasn't up to par, I would get a refund.
The only way I can explain so many bad reviews is that buyers were not careful and so got connected to bad providers.
Nevertheless use common sense and you will more than likely also end up wanting to write a good review.

Fiverr has a bunch of unprofessional freelancers, very bad services and output. I belive that the reviews are fake. They are spending millions on advertising the platform, but it's really bad customer support and bad services. I don't recommend it at all.

The site search is not accurate and doesn't capture the tags of all the gigs, and they preach about this proudly proving that they are boosting the sellers who they want (their friends) who mostly don't have high quality products to offer especially in the promotion field. And what's proving clearly this too is that they feature their friends sellers gigs, and giving false unprofessional excuses to the real top sellers just for closing their accounts. Fiverr will fail...

I could not login onto the site as the green login button is not working. Emailed customer service and they are telling me that I have a duplicate account that locked me out. This is outrageous. How can i possibly have 2 accounts. Instead of fixing the issue, they cancelled my orders. Avoid this site as the customer service is horrible and they should really find a better website designer.

No customer support of my issues. I only received one email and it was a lame excuse for not refunding my money. My response with a question in my email was never returned. No further tickets were answered.
I went to my cc company to report a dispute and they filed it. Fiverr answered but did not provide a reasonable answer except to close the dispute with my cc co and to only use fiverr c/s to resolve issue. Which does not work obviously.
How ridiculous but true. I will be filing more complaints with FTC and my state's Atty gen.
