Fiverr

I uploaded a sketch I made myself for a business logo and asked for a digital revision from a graphic artist because I couldn't work Photoshop to save my life, turns out that compared to the product I got back I could have saved $50 and endured a near-death experience with PS. The original sketch lines were visible, there was hardly any uniformity to the lines, and none of the simple modifications I asked for were completed.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE!

I reviewed lots of portfolios and settled on one where every logo looked really sharp and unique. I paid for just the $5 logo thinking if I was happy I would use this designer again.

Well, I was given a 10 day wait and the order went 11 days. On the 12th day I got the logo along with an additional HD file for having to wait the extra day but it was useless.

My site is about budget family travel. I gave a very detailed explanation of what I needed and my site url for reference. I assumed the designer would visit the site and get a feel for what it needed.

Instead, I got a logo in a very patriotic color scheme that looked very much like it was supposed to resemble a mother giving birth. Basically a large "C" shape, open side down, with a circle on top (moms head). Then another of the same shape, only smaller, flipped around and placed inside the "arms" of the mom. Everyone I asked to look at it said it made them think of a woman giving birth to a baby head first.

My tag line also includes the letter "g" in it but the bottom of the G was cut off. So it looked like a really glaring mistake, or a rush job.

Supposedly, I get a revision so I wrote back and explained why I can't use this logo. That was three days ago and I've yet to get a reply. Glad it was only $5 I lost.

UPDATE: It is now 6 months later. I never received a reply to my request for the revision that I was told I could have. I never received any reply at all.

Elementary level mistakes on my business plan doc. Plus some sections plagiarized. Missed two deadlines. The person had 4.9 stars, but there is now way those ratings can be real.

Hi,

I got cheated by a Seller called Munez_Studio who claimed to be 'Experienced' and of 'High Quality'. The seller literally cut and pasted logos and used 'Arial' fonts for my Decal Sticker project. There are no skills and when being questioned on what design software he used - couldnt answer. Next, he sent me a pdf filled with high quality image (which I found out was plagued from other design agencies) and claimed that those works are his.

Next, Fiverr refused to speak further about the issues on Fake Sellers and closed the case promptly as 'Resolved' without answering any of my complaints.

EVERYONE, STAY AWAY FROM FIVERR. It is fraudulent.

#FO81B2EEE4282 The company is dishonest in many business practices. They do not post negative reviews and then allow sellers to make false claims.

My experience was in an order for a graphic design. There were many claims by the seller (Sony_GFX) about large companies who were their customers, like Amazon, AIRBnB, Shopify and they had 5 star reviews. Even their username suggests an association with the Sony corporation. What I received looked like it was thrown together with clipart and in my opinion was not the quality of the examples given. I was appalled and wrote an honest review. But the review isn't on the sellers page. There is no way to communicate with them to try and get a refund even though I never downloaded the product they delivered. They give only 3 days to communicate the project to an end and that isn't enough time in most all cases. In this case, the seller asked for changes to the design, but they didn't deliver anything that I felt would ever be acceptable from the quality of what was originally delivered. It was a bad experience and I got nothing for the money.

This is Fiverr in a nutshell. There is NO GUARANTEE of satisfaction. Sellers MISLEAD with false advertising. As long as they deliver something, there is no recourse to complain after 3 short days. Once that is complete, it's FU.

How does this work or make any sense...
You order a gig for $10 You get charged $10.50 Yes the 50c is an admin charge...
You do not get your Gig...
You do NOT get your money back... You get a CREDIT of $10 FIVERR keep the 50c
And then to rub salt into wound YOU CANNOT LEAVE FEEDBACK ON THE IDIOT THAT DIDN'T DO THE GIG THAT YOU PAID FOR...
So they can carry on doing this over and over again just picking out the cream jobs and trashing the rest and never get a bad review...
Just feel for the honest Sellers on Fiverr...

I was a seller on fiverr and was enjoying the ride with a just completed job that was worth a huge amount of money that i just delivered and waiting for the approval. Fiverr just disabled my account, seized my cleared funds for 90 days and cancelled an order i spent 2 months working on and just completed, now i would never get paid and they claimed that i was spamming and redirecting traffic because i ordered a gig from someone on fiverr to improve engagement on my amazon store. Sent message to support they didn't reply. I feel like i have been robbed of all my earnings because i decided to buy a gig on fiverr. I WOULD NEVER MAKE THIS MISTAKE AGAIN.
