I order a logo and had some revisions and never received the fixed logo. There is no number or way to contact staff. I wish I had gone to 99 designs. You pay for what you get.

I DESPERATELY want to like FIVRR; theoretically, it would be a great way to try out graphic designers before you make a commitment on a bigger job.

First, I think it terrible that someone is forced to even think about making a product for the cost of latte in NY. Seller should open communication with buyers so that they can sell up. I gave very specific requests, neither of the 2 designers made the marks. Instead, they returned something they probably already had on-hand with the addition of a few revisions.

My sellers had great sense for the beginning of "customer service". One had fantastic counter-manner, however,

Seller #1: gave me a logo that "would be perfect for Affliction" (a feedback from a friend). He insisted that all logos would be done based only on his style. The sample logos were a lot more elegant; mine looked like a logo for a B-rated version of the Hunger Game.

Seller #2: I wanted a seal from this seller and had created the whole seal so that this seller didnt have to "think" too hard. He was easy-going, really courteous, but the seal came back nothing like I sent him. Our motto was incorrectly quoted, contained grammar errors, and our logo (within the seal he created) was replaced with something that looks like "double happiness".

I had been working deligently on my SEO work for my website myself and was doing pretty well. Then everything went sideways when I tried several "SEO" people on fiverr. I mean my rankings actually went DOWN! They did black hat SEO and could have gotten my website delisted off of Google! Complete waste of money. I also tried them for a logo and as it tuned out, the same logo had already been used by another company when I searched the trademark database. Fiverr is full of the lowest quality workers that have no real skills except for that they give themselves a title. It's full of beginners with no education nor qualifications. Fiverr accepts everyone and at any age and they don't care if someone is qualified or not. They don't check anything; anyone can give her or himself a title of whatever they want. The only thing Fiverr cares about is making money off of a bunch of stupid people, buyers and sellers, lured by super cheap prices. Sorry! But yes, I was one of the stupid buyers, many times over and each time I got crap. Yes, like you, I was lured by super cheap prices; but then I ended up being the real loser because I got nothing of value in return. It's like throwing money out the window and watching it float around and fly away. It's complete bologna. Complete waste of time and money.
Fiverr is low-no quality work.
(I uploaded one of my receipts to prove that this is a real review).

Fiverr is a scam
September 28, 2017

Dont do business on fiverr. The company is a scam and sellers deliver gigs of incompleted work. When you complain, fiverr cancels your account and keeps your money.

I'm a seller on fiverr and I have had shockingly bad support from admin. They support the buyers and don't support me, DESPITE the fact that they can read the conversations between the client and myself and they can see when clients leave dishonest feedback.
Plus, if you edit your gig, if someone in the office doesn't view your edits and release your gig, it won't show in the searches until you tell them to release it. This has happened to me so many times I can't count.
It seems that if you criticise admin, they do nasty things to stop you from earning money through fiverr. The admin are young upstarts who couldn't provide customer service if their life depended on it. Fiverr admin sucks.
When I became disillusioned with Fiverr, I searched for another similar site and found Fivesquid. What a complete and total difference. I get treated with respect and appreciation over there. No problems at all. Plus the British Pound is worth quite alot more than the US dollar, so I get to keep more of what I've earned.
Ditch Fiverr and use Fivesquid instead.

I tried ordering a logo for $5.00. I placed the order, then it asked me to create an account. During that process, it froze up. My credit card was charged through PayPal for $5.50 (why is there a $. 50 fee if they keep $1.00 of each order?), but no way to get back in to the order. I was able to get signed in sometimes, but no orders pending. I wrote emails for help, and they told me they needed my transaction number. I didn't have one, because they didn't show my order anywhere. Back and forth emails asking me to sign in, me telling them there was no order, finally they told me to contact PayPal for a transaction number. Got that, they emailed me again to sign in and complete my order. I tried in IE and got locked up when I entered my username and password. (It just kept loading and loading and loading.) So I went into Chrome, got into signon screen, but the field for User name would not open up so I could type in it.

They said they will refund my charge if I can't get in... I'm waiting to see if that happens. It's been almost two weeks! So I never even got my order completely placed, but I've spent hours trying to get in and finish my request. So who knows how it would have worked out, since it's impossible to log in.
