Fiverr Reviews Summary

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.

I paid $225.75 for design work. It was never completed. Fiverr even allowed for the cancellation of the order. Fiverr has not refunded the money to me. I requested several times. They ignored me. So I disputed via paypal. Now they claim I am going against the TOS, and are refusing to refund the money. They demand I shut down my dispute with paypal, and they will be willing to help me then. I am not falling for that scam. If I shut down the dispute with paypal, they will just keep the money and I will have no recourse.

Steer clear from this company. You get NOTHING in return for your payment.

Dunjabosanac
June 28, 2018

I am very happy with the service that Dunjabosanac provided. I needed a very particular logo for children's products and I found them very easy to work with. I was extremely precise about everything and this seller was very patient and very professional. I highly recommend them.

Purchased a logo creation service with a guarantee of a two day turn around. It took two weeks and the logo was not even remotely close to the specification provided, including a completely unrelated company name on it. No recourse for having it corrected or refunded. I closed my seller account afterwards as I cannot be associated with such a bad customer experience. The website also performs terribly for sellers, with links not functioning.

This company steal from their customers. They overcharged my account for $96 and refuse to refund me. When I brought up disputing with my credit card and filing a police report, I was threatened with legal procedures. They stated because I used their service, I agreed to a privacy policy that stated I can't dispute. I have never ever seen this privacy policy/... PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THAT COMPANY. $96 sounds like a small amount but you could be their next victim and it could be worse.

The designers are actually quite good but the site is glitchy. Customer service takes DAYS to respond and if you have an issue... you wind up going to several differnt people in customer service and nothing gets fixed. TOTAL train wreck and waste of time. Spend more money Go somewhere else. I feel bad for the talented desigers.

I wish it worked out. I paid them waited for a week for the picture and nothing. The artist came back three times about what it should look like. I was like guy you are the artist not me. I asked for a refund they said they would process it and it never came. I had to call my credit cad company to dispute it. I would avoid these guys as they have good intentions but very unproffesional

Aliraza6 used the system to avoid getting a bad review for his bad work. Fiverr knew what aliraza6 was doing, and they allowed it to happen, even though Fiverr's policy says that a seller cannot Dispute an order when they do bad work.

Here's what happened.

1. aliraza6's code created a HTML Error 500
2. I requested a revision
3. Aliraza6 disputed the claim and lied in his dispute stating that I changed the order
4. Next, aliraza6 lied again and blamed the coding error on other php
5. Marty from Customer Support just ignored my complaint, closed the order, and then said that he was sorry that I was disappointed.

All of this prevents a seller from getting a bad review. Aliraza6 has a 5/5 review, but I'm sure that it is only because he is using the system and Fiverr let's him get away with bad work.

Do not use aliraza6.

Extortion
June 15, 2018

I ordered two t-shirt designs, they were late, one never arrived. I tried to resolve it and got a message saying sorry I forgot to send it a week ago. I asked for a revision and never heard back. Messaged Fiverr and they just canceled the order rather than letting me work it out. They had a 5 star review. Never received a vector file for anything. Tried again, this time the seller tried to extort more money, contacted Fiverr they gave me a coupon for $4 off. Tried a third time and same thing, a very simple 2 color design allegedly required more money or so the seller said from $10 to $20 for a simple super simple design.

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..

If you want to stress out, have someone f*@# you around and throw away your money, this is for you. I have tried 2 projects (both had 4.8+ star reviews, and lots of them) and both times got screwed over. Fiverr wont let me leave an honest (1 star) review. Hence, why there are only good reviews on line. I have tried to contact Fiverr, but no answer. FIVERR IS A JOKE!

With the follow I sent to Fiverr, evryone will understand:. Here is what happened and what I said they steal when they want, because after this they cancel 1200 dollars more and closed my account taking my money... when I have 5 star in all aspects, nobody made complain for our jobs. But maybe we are the competttion of some of their members and their sales was down, who knows. Here is the messages I sent.

Not understand what mean,

What I know is that Fiver have many months closing account of customers I have, cancelling orders that has been compled with more than 2 month for many dollars, and now disable my accoun,.

Here is what your terms say

" During that time frame, the order may be canceled. After 13 days, the seller is able to withdraw their earnings from that order, and we will no longer be able to cancel it. "

But fiverr has cancelled 5 orders by 800 each one with more than 2 months completed. That is not honest, is too bad,.

YOU not solve the problems of the sellers, the last time they closed a client's account, and after several months that my orders had been completed they canceled the orders as if nothing, when each order had more than 2 or 3 months completed... and nobody fights for that, nobody defends us,.

Now they just do the same, but disabling my account, after having 5 years in Fiverr without any problem,. Never I did something bad, I have only good reference, and I have some customer fans of our service.

HOW DO YOU THINK THAT I CAN RECOMMEND SOMETHING DIABOLIC AND DISASTROUS FOR US. WE ARE HONEST SELLERS,. BUT WE NOT RECEIVE THE HELP AND RESPECT OF FIVERR

These guys are idiots. I went with someone who had a lot of positive reviews. Then I saw they all only have 5 star reviews. I was able to finally get a tshirt logo after MUCH coaching and telling him what to do. I gave good instructions and he first slapped a shirt design together that an 8 year old could have put together. After 7 or 8 changes I agree. I paid extra to receive the Vector. Our last communication was that when I approved of hte final design he would send me the Vector file for my tshirt printer. I completed the transaction and all I received were 2 attachments - both the same JPG file which was just a picture of hte Logo on a t-shirt.
I contacted Customer service and they are worthless. 2 different men have contacted me and say he sent me the file. He has not. SO I just opened up a new ticket with him for $5.00 so I could get a message to him that I still need the Vector file.
I am very frustrated and I have lost another day without being able to start on the t-shirts. I would NEVER use them again. There is a definite language barrier and I am very considerate of that. As soon as you accept you have no way to contact the seller. I am so annoyed right now.

As it is cheap it is bad for freelancer and clients. Besides its terms of service for freelancer and clients are not good. They only knows how to take money (about 20%). If a client purchase a service at cheap rate, freelancer will be bored once and start working reducing work quality. He may find his service is ok but after sometime, some months or some years, the site will get the result of bad quality work. Besides as it is cheap, only less experienced freelancers work there mostly as this is good for them.

I contracted a freelancer to promote a YouTube video. He stated he would get it viral over a 5 day exposure to over ******* people.
The first day it got about 3500 views. The second day 1200 of those had been removed by YouTube, probably because of the use of bots instead of real accounts. The third day it dropped another 800 views! And it stayed there for the remainder.
He then had the gull to say the job was completed and collected the payment.
2000 vies is hardly what I would call viral.
I complained to customer service at Fiverr and got a "that's between you and the seller" response and that they did not guarantee in any way customer satisfaction.
I have since cancelled my account and will never use them again.
