I've tried this service two times based on rave seller 5 star reviews. First for $5 mastering gig, then & $5 to submit 1 track to 1000's of radio stations. The master was horrible & I only got 1 response from a radio station. I got a lot better results submitting on my own. It would have been more helpful if they provided proof of submission, but they didn't. Do not believe all the review hype. I'm never using this service again.

I am a buyer for this site. I ordered some banners for my business and for whatever reason both orders totalling $61 were cancelled and the funds placed in my fiverr balance, only problem with this is there is no way of transferring that money to your bank account. I paid via Paypal so I expect refunds to go back to my original payment method- PayPal. I was left with no option but to open a dispute with Paypal and now I'm getting emails telling me that my fiverr account has been restricted and guess what?! The $61 has vanished! This is a nightmare of a company- I've emailed them and they never get back to you. I should have seen the warning flags from the start, I mean what company doesnt have a contact number? Their contact email is not easy to find either. Steer clear of this company everyone, whether you're a buyer, like me, or a seller. Something dodgy about these cowboys. Thankfully I paid with Paypal so I'm hoping I can escalate it with them and receive a full refund.

I'm trying to get an e-commerce site built. After my time on fiverr I'm still trying to get it built. To start, the freelancer claimed they were fluent in English and they're profile was in good English, but when I talked to them they were very hard to understand. Terrible grammar. I probably should have pulled the job at that point, but I continued anyway. I gave excellent instructions, but they never produced anything. There was lots of back and forth, but no progress was ever made. And he kept calling me sir even though I said repeatedly that I am a woman.

Eventually I got sick of it and got my money refunded through my credit card company. I will never use fiverr again. How are you supposed to trust that your project will get done if the sellers don't even tell the truth about what language they speak?!

I m member of Fiverr community since 2012, recently one month ago a buyer name with "fay*******" has a ordered me with $80 for my services, i have completed his work and sent the work as per time duration, after complete all the procedure, payment also cleared in my wallet, and after one month the fraud buyer had dispute the amount from paypal which he has paid on fiverr from, and I lost my $64 from my wallet balance. I complained on fiverr about this issue i requested many times to get my money return, but they are not responding correctly. This means fiverr has not responsibly about sellers earned payment, so guys dont trust on this community they are also fraud, Fiverr is fraud community dont register on this site.

They took my money and close my account for no reason!

Useless to say I NEVER done what thay say...

Stay far from Fiverr

Hired a "guru" who didn't have the knowledge required to complete the job he was given, despite being given a detailed specification before he accepted the job.

When he realized he couldn't deliver, the seller opened a dispute in order to cancel the job. When this happens, the buyer is refunded in the form of "store credit" (minus a processing fee) rather than receiving a refund to the original payment method.

My Fiverr account has now been frozen as I opened a PayPal dispute in order to claim a full refund. F**k 'em, it's not like I was planning to use them again anyway...

Scummy business. They're parasites really - they take a 20% cut of the seller's fee in return for doing nothing. Given that, I suppose it's easy to understand how buyers have to deal with lazy, unmotivated sellers.

I contracted someone to do some quick word press fixes. I laid out what needed to be done - moving pics and text, creation of a form.
They deleted work of mine they weren't supposed to touch, reconfigured pages that makes it awkward to read and resized a calendar into a postage stamp.
It's not like I was getting it for 5 bucks... I paid almost $50. And am out of luck. The seller won't respond to emails and did about a half hour of work (maybe) on the site. I have put in a dispute, but from the looks of things on here, it won't go anywhere. Oh, and he said he was in Toronto Canada, but is actually in India (just happen to have a map on my site that shows where the users are located.)
Won't use this site 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've tried fiverr a few times. Each and every time I received utter garbage. Do not trust their profile or bio summaries. I've hired straight up ivy league school grads (that's what they say anyway) with hundreds of reviews who charge top dollar who spat out material that my 14 year old nephew could write better. They don't refund you either. And a warning to all... many will hack your Fiverr account for your information. One of Fiverr's power sellers (hundreds of positive reviews) did it to me to extort a positive review for shoddy work. It was obvious he had done it before. Don't trust the positive reviews that the sellers have.
