Fiverr

It's junk most of the people selling junk and with false advertising and once the order is completed the only thing you can do is thumb down but your money has changed hands no where to complain.

DECEITFUL. Graphic Design Seller Leenjay was highly immature & unprofessional - he made an agreement, then deleted work without my consent & didn't refund payment for my child's birthday gift. This behaviour was encouraged by the alleged 'Customer Support Advisors'.
I WOULDNT even recommend this service to my enemy!
'Working'with this seller/Fiverr was an absolute nightmare!

A big cheater of all time! Allows Fake People to Sell Anything and making the buyers ruined. Even if the Buyer is Cheated Fiverr is Assured of getting its Payment without anyone figuring over it. I left $15 with them to let them Buy Some flowers to Put on their Grave.
I NOW KNOW CHEAP IS CHEAP ALWAYS!

Buyers ask I phone in the cost of Korean phone. They doesn't know the value of work and they never try to understand.

Fiverr eats 20% sellers money happily without any customer services.

Ratings on fiverr are not really right: many users are paying for a gig in exchange for a good review. As a result, you face lots of bad sellers from India or Pakistan.

Took my money without my permission! Customer service does not allow you to contact them until you provide them with your information (email etc.) probably so they can sell it to others!

BEWARE!

Fiverr only allows for good feedback to be left on sellers. The only time it will allow you to write a review is when your order is marked as Delivered or Complete.

Ask yourself what do you do when you are unhappy with your order/designer. 99.9% of people will answer with "cancel the order". Because why would you want to pay for something that you are dissatisfied with……. I thought its was a little funny that ALL the sellers have 4+ stars but now i understand why...

In my situation I needed a logo design, I had an image of what I wanted no creative input needed.

1st designer canceled the order on his end- couldn't leave feedback because the order wasn't completed

2nd designer just told me they couldn't help me and left the order sitting there without canceling it. Once again I can't leave feedback because the order wasn't completed.

Guys i m using fiverr.com and i think this is the best website on planet for freelancing. Alot of gigs with different services and very good experience.

Stay away, Fiver has a bunch of thiefs on the site. It's just trash trying to make a living off other peoples work. I'm sure your site does not even check the work they are peddling. Crap website.

I'm a seller on Fiverr, I sell custom full-cycle game development. Recently I delivered a game to a client of mine via Fiverr, he ordered a "fishdom kind of game" for 800$. After 20 hours of work and 3 small revisions I delivered the order, it was quiet for almost 2 days until I got a message: 'The order was canceled by Fiverr Customer Support.
The order funds have been returned to the buyer'. So the buyer just contacted Fiverr customer support and asked them to cancel the order AFTER I did the final delivery. Fiverr didn't contact me to discuss this with me, they just canceled the order. This is something unbelievable as the buyer CLEARLY didn't want to pay for my work, and just simply canceled the order when I delivered and essentially got a free game.

IF customer support wants to contact me here is my user name: steynisback

I paid for a 2-page CV only to wait a week and not receive it. The cancel/refund process is a pain and is designed to waste your time so you don't get your money back.

Unfortunately, most of the reviews on here are for the independent sellers on the website instead of for the actual website. Fiverr can not control what the sellers do and you should all be aware of this. If you have a bad experience with a seller or buyer, don't blame it on the site. Report them to customer service instead!

I've been on Fiverr since October 2015 as both a buyer and a seller and have never had one bad experience. As of today, I've made $300+ on the site by offering my proofreading, editing, and writing services. Nobody has ever tried to trick me out of the money they were supposed to pay me, and no seller has ever lied about their services or tried to give me less than what they were offering.

I'm giving them 4 stars because I dislike the fact that, for sellers, they take $1 from every $5 you make. I understand that the site has to make money to keep offering themselves as a platform for freelancers, but I think they take too much. I also dislike the fact that it takes funds over two weeks to clear.

PROS
+Sellers can accept custom orders
+Sellers can set their gig to vacation mode if they're going to be away
+Buyers can cancel their order and get a refund if the gig is late

CONS
+If you buy something and don't like it, you can't get a refund

A buyer cancelled his order on my service when I already delivered 100% of my service (and this is hundreds of dollars social media service). His payment's on my pending clearance state. But it still gets cancelled by Fiverr. Imagine delivering something worth hundreds of dollars only for it to not be paid.

I can't even describe with a proper word on how ridiculous and dumb Fiverr is on imposing their rules. Fiverr NEVER even questioned me anything about the buyer's complaint (Buyer claimed that I never delivered my service which is crazy: scammer). Fiverr straight up cancelled the payment without asking for clarification from the other side of the issue. Like is that even professional?

What's worse is when I tried reporting this issue, I never heard back from Fiverr, not to mention how difficult it is to actually find their customer support, I found it from going through the community forum. That's an effing joke. Fiverr also charges 20% of my income for their supposedly "middleman/platform" service. Jokes on YOU FIVERR, charging 20% for doing f*ck all? For making it easier for scammers to actually scam people out?

DON'T EVER USE FIVERR! I'm trying not to be biased, I'm throwing out all the facts, what I've experienced. If you were in my shoes, I bet you you would be much more mad than I am right now.

What a joke of a company.

I was asked to pay my $420. Which I did, weirdly it said error every time and said my card would NOT be charged. Well horrific surprise when we realized that oje card was charged twice with $420 and another card was charged one with $420. That's a total of $1260!
When contacting them the first representative didn't even bother reading just told me to go and pay again and send me the link. Heck no! I already paid 3 times!
I've gone through 7+ representatives and each and everyone of them says something else. Also they then lost my credit card info (the ending figures and name) TWO TIMES! To see where my money is or went!
To this day we have received ONE payment back, now they are starting firstly to blame another company who they use for payments. Then they started blaming MY bank for HOLDING the fund. Why should my bank hold the funds? They don't!
I've waited to do a review as I hoped this problem to be solved ASAP, and actually considered moving forward with the artist! But after being passed on from one representative to another AND then then blaming firstly a company that apparently takes their money and payments and then continuing to now blame my bank for it. This is OUTRAGEOUS!
It's been 11 days since I made all payments and filed complain etc. Fiverr also promised to have the money back in my account from 7-(MAX)10 days! Again I'm still missing $840!

Stay away! Far away!

I have been both a buyer and a seller on Fiver and I've been disappointed both directions. As a buyer I've had sellers who delivered just horrible quality then got mad when asked to make it right. One even filed a complaint against me when the product he delivered wasn't even close to what he'd promised and I refused to pay. Another did such a low quality job that I think my kid could have done better. I understand I won't get much for $5 but in my case I offered more in exchange for better quality and the quality was still low.

As a seller I find there are very few orders and the site is a bit hard to navigate. Just try to find your own "gig" for example, even from your admin pages, to do edits.

My customers have liked my products and I've gotten "tips" on sales which in many cases doubles my income. The problem is the fees charged eat it up. Let's say I have a $5 item and I get a $5 tip so I made $10 from the sale. But then Fiver charges me $2 in their fees plus an additional $1 to send me my money via PayPal. If I want it sent any other way the fees are higher, in some cases MUCH higher. So Fiver is taking 30% of my gross income on the sale!

If I'd made the $5 sale and NOT gotten a tip they would have taken $3 of the $5 I was paid. Making $2 for an item isn't profitable.

In the "Price-Quality-Service, Pick any two" equation you're getting a very low price, but I'm just not seeing that you're getting either of the other two. When you only get one of the three items it's a bad deal and should be avoided. That's my advice for both buyers and sellers... Avoid it.

I used Fiverr for the first and last time and it was an absolute disaster. My three day book formatting turned into weeks and then well over a month. The "seller" who advertised as fluent in "English" was clearly not "fluent" and made huge errors in the book formatting. Fiverr seemed to take the position that if the seller put text in ANY order then it was a completed job. Consequently text was broken up, Text that read "She clearly thought me a bit soft in the head" was formatted to read "She clearly thought me a bits of tint he head" I could provide over a hundred examples. Fiverr kept insisting I work with the seller whose lack of English skills made the formatting a nightmare because they could not see the positioning errors in text. Fiverr basically held my payment hostage, kept referring me back to the seller and clearly did not read or understand the issue. Finally I requested a revision, again, the seller sent a revision and Fiverr immediately marked the deal as closed (before their three day review period). I will have the entire book done with a professional and I will NOT recommend FIverr nor will I deal with that company again. Most disappointing experience.

DO NOT USE FIVERR.COM. EVERY "GIG" OFFERED IS A SCAM. ANY DISPUTE YOU MAKE ENDS IN YOUR ACCOUNT BEING BLOCKED OR TERMINATED, IN WHICH RHEY STATE, "CLOSE THE DISPUTE AND THEY WILL ASSIST IN THE ORDEAL". THIS WEBSITE WAS CREATED BY CON ARTISTS FOR CON ARTISTS THAT COOPERATE ON ANY AND EVERY MATTER PERTAINING TO THE SELLER. NO MUSICIAN SHOULD EVER USE THIS SITE.

Good website. You can find anything you need. You just have to spend sometimes finding the right person for the gig. But at this price nothing comes closer.

Attention! This person is a scammer, our company was a victim of his actions, please be aware and share this information with your contacts and via social networks

I HAVE NEVER LEFT A WEB SITE PAYING LESS THAN I WANTED TO PAY.

Fiverr wants to look impressive, and sound impressive and get THEIR money.

If Fiverr got the tips, they would set things up in a simple, straightforward way - the way absolutely every business sets up the page where you send in your money.

NOT INTUITIVE- I originally set up my account to hire a web developer but now I'm trying to set up offering of my business services but it's impossible to figure out how to do that on the platform. Extremely frustrating experience I've been on here 20 minutes and have gotten nowhere - it is very unclear how to even upload my photo

I will be honest with you. I bought a coat! I didn't know what to expect but it's so amazing. The site is adorable, very fashionable and the clothes are reasonably priced. Will be ordering again.

Maybe I'm bias because I'm a seller on Fiverr ($4k earned in January 2016). However, most of the user reviews I saw on this site are coming from people who seem to need to be better at reading comprehension. I've never had Fiverr not pay me. I have also purchased many gigs on Fiverr and have had 1 or 2 not go perfectly well, but a simple modification request to the seller was all it took to get them to correct the problem.

FOR SELLERS.
For new users, payment can be delayed 2 weeks (potentially up to a month, it's been awhile since I was a new user). They are VERY transparent about the payment system and you can even see exactly when the money is available for withdraw.

FOR BUYERS.
Use some common sense before bidding on a professional service. Ask for their portfolio (if it's web design, graphics, writing, etc). Ask what specifically is included in your purchase. Fiverr cannot force you to accept a seller's work, so if the work done is not what you were expecting, request a modification and the seller must work with you to make it right. Again, read the terms on the site and utilize the tools available instead of calling it a scam.
