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 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.
This platform is just for earning money. There is no customer support email, chat, phone. Nothing. It is ridiculous.
There is no way to contact the customer service department. I've never had a worse freelancer experience. I was duped by a seller. I reported him, and Fiverr surprised me by issuing an alert.
I attempted to understand why they would send such an email without taking into account our chat background, but there was no way to contact their customer service help desk.
I'm no longer working with them, and I'll be closing my account after eliminating all payment methods.
It's one thing having bad sellers on this website (which is not fiverr.com's fault)
But another disaster for fiverr's customer service and quality control not being helpful when things go wrong. All I wanted to do is to leave a bad review to the seller of my bad experience and Fiverr wont allow although they made their nice commission in between. IF this site doesn't help BUYERS of services who do they help? Without buyers you don't exist Fiverr.
For those of you who want to use this service please use Upwork.com instead.
A seller I hired to improve website speed is far off to what we agreed on. I contacted fiverr who've told me that there's nothing they can do.
For anyone thinking about using this horrible website, rather use upwork. It's safer and you find actual profesionals.
A lot of scammers with fake reviews are active on fiverr. Just read through the reviews where oyu can see every 2nd reviewer has been scammed somehow.
I get reviewe on fiver seo backlinks and websit rank and optimization of you Google ranking backlinks
I did 64 freelance jobs on Fiverr, with 44 5-start reviews. The platform offered me many long term gigs and I was able to help people that had no access to banking systems. Yesterday I got scammed for €1.268 on a gig that has been active for 3 years. Fiverr took huge commissions of my work and I received 0 support from customer service. Instead of catching the scammer with 0 reviews they decided to remove my gigs. More people will get robbed because Customer service is failing.
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...
I was looking for a professional and expert who can help me out with my shopify store design and to make it high responsive. I lost money before i met this freelancer who help me out on everything i was looking for including marketing so i do generate sales as well. So i will like to review him here. He's so professional and delivers fast. You can trust him.
Thanks
Poorly managed, juvenile behaviour, no responsibility if something goes wrong. Stay miles away from this company.
Wasted my money and time and surprised it hasn't been investigated by the authorities for misleading statements and exposed on the mainstream media.
1. There's no two-side agreement - after you post a gig someone may just order it without contacting you first. That may cause arguments with clients that made a mistake in the order/ did not include extra pay for some extra service they want, ect. That may also cause clients making orders and then cancelling a few minutes later for no reason (they probably found someone cheaper.). In this case, you're rating will be harmed and you might even get your seller level demoted (this happens A LOT).
2. They take a big cut of 20%, and also other transfer commissions when you want to get your payment. Personaly, I don't find this service to be good enough to take such a big cut.
3. They have THE WORST costumer service. All they do is deny that there are any problems and move the responsibility to the seller. I've spent much time corresponding with them (too much time, since I need to repeat myself and bring them more and more proofs for the problems I found, which they try to deny exist... It's basicly a waste of time even reaching to them - they wil waste your time!).
4. This is a platform made for buyers. Most sellers will work here for much lower profit than in any other companies Iv'e tried working with.
5. Remember - this is not the way to get to the big fish, this barely yields an extra side income... So if you use it don't put to much effort into it. Selling yourself short is never the way.
I am a graphic designer Photoshop artist. I came to this site last year to freelance. Little did I know disappointment was waiting for me. Fiverr has too many graphic designers and you wont make anything on it because many are doing the same thing at low, average or high price (that's if you are a graphic designer). Further more people would only look for gigs with higher ratings and reviews.
If you are a designer, I advise you not to try this site you wont make money. Also the buyers request is totally useless. They won't even remove the request if the buyers had their request already taken.
Very, very bad experience. Orders went completly wrong. One order didn't got delivered and another only half of what was promised. I have to put up a paypal claim, fiverr emedetly blocked account without paying me back. This feels like a real SCAM to me. Nothing received and money stolen.
NEVER AGAIN, beware FIVERR is a real SCAM!
Check this out!

Stay way from SEO gigs on fiveer. They will only damage your website
Reviews are fake most service are very low quality and uselss I will never buy here anything impossible to recoup your money if you are not satisfied of the service! Very disappointed
I've sent an order for a rewritten article to a 5* seller named "bookergr" which cost a little more than Euro 44,-. After the order was sent I received an answer why I didn't contact him before the order was placed! I asked him why and he blamed me and told me again I didn't followed his RULES, checked the FAQ etc. I did this and I placed the order including the text which I would like to rewrite.
No way he didn't work on the order, he still sent answers that I am doing things not correctly. Finally, I had to cancel the order! I NEVER had such a bad experience on Fiverr! So please check before you work with this seller "bookergr".
The seller was a scammer. Called himself planning_. This individual claimed he would deliver a particular digital product but was grossly incapable and did not provide a revision of his unprofessional product within any agreed time frame. I contacted customer support who did not do anything. Just told me to wait. I asked them to cancel the order and they refused! Told me he had made 8 revisions when in actual fact he had made none. I contacted my credit card provider and cancelled the order and got a full refund. Was this the end? Nope. I got an email that says 'Filing a dispute is against our Terms of Service' and another email that says 'We were informed that you filed a dispute/chargeback with your payment provider for one of your orders. This is against our Terms of Service.''This is your first warning. If you repeat this violation or continue to violate Fiverr's TOS, your account will be suspended.' All I can say is please go ahead and suspend me for life without parole. Do they seriously think I'd be using them again? I do not trust any 5 star review for fiverr because it is most likely from staff or their sellers.
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!
Becareful when you send data for work to be done. Some seller ask to see your data before agreeing to take up the gig. They will come back and inform you they can do the job. All they wanted is to collect confidential data.
If you get a service done with Fiverr and the seller doesn't deliver on the service, Fiverr won't refund your money, even if you don't have anything delivered from them.
Now if you get no satisfaction from Fiverr support, who are so slack that they don't get back to you for over a week after you post a support query and try your payment provider, Fiverr threatens to suspend your account. They won't give you back your money and threaten you not to try other ways to get it back.
So basically, if you have an issue:
- Fiverr does not resolve it
- Fiverr keeps your money
- you get nothing for your money, basically you're giving Fiverr money for no reason
In the regular world, if you ordered something and didn't get it, you get your money back. Fiverr seems to think that if you don't get something, you get your money back. Fiverr won't do that.
Don't use Fiverr.
Fiver is:
- unethical
- dishonest
- fraudulent
- unprofessional
- disreputable
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.
