I contracted with a "seller" to produce 3D kitchen design, provided him with a scale top view for 3 elevations.
He took over 1 week to produce 1 view with multiple inaccuracies,
I tried 3x to work out the problems with descriptive messages and I received more LAME work without the details requested.
Frustrated and going on 10 days without a draft I can work with I found a local designer who had my presentation ready in 2 days, no edits, perfect.
I contacted FIVERR requested a full refund and have been explaining myself to IDIOTS in Customer Service (a damn joke) for 5 days, 10 emails no resolution, no refund.
BTW I have used FIVERR previously with OK results, however as a PAYING customer I will not be ripped of be an Incompetent seller then given the run around by IDIOTS in the CS dept.
FIVERR SUCKS, GO LOCAL AND BE A HAPPY PRO

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.!

Now, here's the thing that I felt was bad about Fiverr. Of course they can't always prevent scammers from being on there. However, if you leave a negative review for a seller they have incentive to refund you.

This is important. Refunds come in as a request. If you accept, you have "canceled" your order and thus can not leave a review because Fiverr treats it as if you never received/paid for the service.

So you'll see all these shady sellers with 5 star ratings and wonder how the world that's possible. Simple. Most people, when presented with the opportunity, take the $5 back rather than paying $5 to leave a review for someone else's benefit.

Kinda crappy, right? Fiverr, by design protects scammers. I don't think it's intentional, it doesn't help them to have externally negative reviews of their service (since you won't find them on their site)... But it is nonetheless a thing.

Hi,

I am a Level on seller on fiverr since many months, all of suddent fiverr restricted my account for no reason.
I tried contacting them since a month ago but still that sh! T site have not replied to me. I think they just want me to forget about my earnings and go away...

Please stay away from this website,

Frustrating. The people performing the work are good. My comment is about the issue that I am not a Robot check system. It is broken. I clicked on 50 images. Felt like a Pavlov dog. For such a professional site the people running need to take have one of the Fiverr designers fix the site as they can't seem to create a site that is functional. I am done with Fiverr after my first project is completed. Bottom line is simple, the people doing the work on Fiverr are great and like to work with them but the people running the program can't seem to create a platform that works properly. Too much hassle to log in over and over and over just to respond to a response. Sorry I am not a Fiverr Pavlov dog. Training is over.

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.

This is a scam site. Beware. You will have no recourse to get your money back. The work I received for my logo was supposed to be original artwork. What I was sent was cut and paste that looked like it was done by a preschooler. I tried to get my money back. Customer service is a joke. Rather than responding, they just marked my request "closed" and wouldn't respond any further. Lesson learned to check reviews before I sign up for something.:-( **Update** after saying I was going to dispute the charge, fiverr disabled my account "to keep my account safe". Ha!

I paid for a Facebook Ad and it doesn't fit on Facebook and no-one will get back to me. I guess I'm a slow learner because I then paid for some photoshopping, they make you accept the order to see it, which I did, and nothing was there. No one will respond and now I am getting "snarky" messages from the seller..."hey sister, anymore work, lol". A couple hundred bucks down the drain from me, avoid at all costs.

Had a couple of good gigs in 6 years but for the most part, the gigs are rip-offs.

You really have to be careful when it comes to the writing, most of the writers plagiarize existing articles and use a unicode font (cyrillic) that passes the online plagiarism detectors but since the font they use is a system font, you won't get any of the keywords if you are using it for ANYTHING on the web. Worthless!

If you use the service for links, they will be on sites that don't get indexed or are PBN's which won't pass any rank.

Then, to make things worse, the support staff will do almost nothing to help you get your money back.

When all is said and done, you are better off using a reputable service. It's really not worth the trouble.
