Sellers with perfect 5 star reviews wasted at least 3 weeks of my time and only delivered about 15% of the task to be done. Some sellers over-promised and were clearly deceptive.
I had reported a few bad sellers to the Fiverr support team and I hope they do remove or ban these terribly dishonest sellers!
Designers refuse to listen to what you want. Most of them are teams of people and each revision is done by a different person. They apparently refuse to look at all the communication up to that point so they don't deliver what you want. I asked for a two color logo and only got it after I tried to cancel the order after giving them 5 tries to get it right. I even went up to a $25 gig because I had this issue with a $5 one. Will never use fiverr again!
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!
I earned several hundred dollars on fiver with 100% positive reviews from my customers. Fiverr refused to release any of my earnings saying they did not believe my identity. They had my Paypal account info and when I asked how else I prove who I am they suspended my account and kept my money. This is a felony in the US. Fiverr needs to be brought down. The people that own Fiverr are crooks.
I read your reviews here and was not sure whether to use fiverr or not, then I thought only $5 and so many options, lets try.
I got website ($15) landing page ($5) Backlinks ($5) and I am on page 1 of google with fully functional website for my keywords. For $25 no one is going to get this. Love you guys.
Highly recommended
As a buyer, my most concerning factor prior to making any commissioned purchase would be to ensure all my requirements are satisfied. Sellers are easily frustrated with just couple of assuring questions.
My first time using Fiverr, I usually use Upwork but I fancied a change. I chose a freelancer based on her good reviews and throughout the interview stage, all seemed good. Sadly, the freelancer was not able to deliver the order within the specified period and kept requesting additional time. After agreeing to an additional 2 days, the freelancer asked for more time again. When I objected the freelancer became quite rude and I felt vulnerable because she had access to a password. I decided to reach out to Fiverr but unlike Upwork, there is no contact number but the option to leave a support message - it states they will answer within 12 hours. Almost 24 hours later I have not heard from them. They have my money, I have a half-finished project and I have been left feeling vulnerable. Never again will I use this platform!
Profiles are fake. Reviews are fake. Profile photos are fake (lots of white American girls doing graphics work in Pakistan these days). Is it a pretty American girl who speaks fluent English? NO! Thats an Indian dude who will be selling you something he stole off the internet. Dozens of scams They dont even read what you ordered or care. Its a Third World bait and switch scam. To them, you are an American sucker fresh meat. Easy money.
I spent $45 to get an upgraded service. The seller sent me a gorgeous picture of my new custom business cards. 1 month later the actual cards show up and the are complete junk. I could have made better cards on my home computer. It is almost impossible to get any help from customer service. In the end neither fiverr or the seller would refund my money. Complete scam!
I've use Fiverr many many many times and I see their is a problem. If you do get a poor job back the vendors at fiverr, they will beg you not to give them a bad rating. So I leave a good rating because for what I paid how can I not. Wish Fiverr would put a stop to their vendor base begging for 5 star reviews which makes us feel awkward. I also have had many very good projects completed with fiverr vendors. I give it over all a thumbs up.
I have used this site once to have my resume written and even they could not get the copy and paste function right... I ended up being a sales representative who works in a hospital explaining marine biological concepts and attended university in the USA! Never have done any of those things!
I ordered a logo paid $60 and was sent back some clip art so there would not cancel order nor did I ever receive a logo that was usable. The seller also became angry and insulting to me when I made suggestions or ask her to revise the logo. Customer service was prompt But ultimately not helpful. One purchase never again.
He went above and beyond in building my website. This was my first time using this type of service and he walked me through the entire process and even made HOW TO video tutorials for me when I needed additional help. He had a lot of patience and was very responsive.
So far I have enjoyed ordering and selling on Fiverr. I avoid scams easily by reading all of the gig description and contact the seller before buying so we are both clear on what they can do and my expectations. Completed satisfied almost every time!
I have been using Fiverr for more than a year, spent thousand of dollars to get services from different sellers. So far, of course I have met a few lame sellers delivering below average quality and still able to argue they did the job. Some I managed to get my refund, some didn't.
Nevertheless, there are plenty of sellers whom I repeatedly purchased service from them and they never fail me. So I'll say it's more satisfaction than disappointment, and I will continue to use it.
I have used dozens of people on Fiverr, whether it was a video intro, a singer, song mastering, a logo, editing a blog, or a photoshop pic fix and the one time I had an issue I was refunded thanks to Fiverr because they track the progress and if it goes past the expected delivery date, they handle getting your funds back.
You cannot go wrong!
Disappointed to find many mistakes in my logo, After many revisions, it kept getting worse... They rush to get the job done but no real thought goes into the design or image of the company... they don't give refunds instead they hold your money so you can get someone else to do the work... when I did, it was the same all over again... I spent over a month to get a decent logo and this company did not deliver... will never use this company again
After payment and giving the brief, he agreed to a 6pm delivery. Then he went completely unresponsive. After deadline has passed, he finally replied 'wip. Within a few hours'. Even though I was supposed to get 2 revisions, he sent nothing - no sketches, no drafts. I finally cancelled the order 8 hours later because he simply didn't submit anything.
See screen grabs attached as evidence. And the crap excuse he gave.
I placed 3 orders with 3 different logo designers and Fiverr has yet to deliver revisions as promised. Fiverr has a trick where they close your order if you're not paying attention, even if you are actively communicating with the "designers". None of the orders I have placed provided the files they promised. I am contacting Fiverr support and they respond telling me that it is their policy to close orders automatically and there is nothing they can do. I lost all my money and got nothing in return. This is a scam!
We have used Fiverr for many projects and have always been very satisfied with the work of the freelancers. We have gone through many companies before finally connecting with this freelancer and after so many successful designs we now can say our search is complete and we have found a great company with excellent service and the talent to boot! Can't say enough good things about this company.
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.
