Fiverr Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with some customers appreciating the affordability and variety of services available, as well as the potential for building long-term relationships with freelancers. However, significant concerns dominate the feedback, particularly regarding delayed payments, unresponsive customer support, and a perceived lack of accountability for both sellers and buyers. Many users express frustration over unresolved disputes and the platform's failure to ensure transparency and quality among its freelancers. This highlights a critical need for improved customer service and stricter oversight to enhance user trust and satisfaction.

Would strongly advise any freelancer/contractor to pursue other channels for sales. They can restrict your account at any time and will not give you an exact reason for up to 60 days. We have a perfect score across their metrics and over 10 five-star reviews. Happy to comply with any requests, but they do not provide details. They also take 20%, which is a lot.
--
Update: They expedited their review process - only because I left a review on Trustpilot. Good to know they really care... They ultimately decided to ban me for offering a similar service to other freelancers, which is AI vocal cloning.

I have been a long time user of Fiverr for many years. I have bought many gigs and supported many of my favorite gigs over the years. And I woke up to an email saying that my account has been deleted and cannot be restored. They apparently did some investigation and through their results had deemed my account to be disabled. Of course they didn't reach out to me, or perhaps let me know of what was happening. They just decided that my account would be deleted. Really disappointed in this company. And the email was almost rude in a way saying that your account has been disabled and this cannot be undone, and do not contact customer support for this. They just deleted my account without any reasoning whatsoever. All they say is that it went against their terms, but of course they don't actually State anything specific. I probably use Fiverr on a weekly basis especially for my business for all kinds of things. I have happily used it and recommended it over the years.

UPDATE:
Since my account was deleted with no reason whatsoever provided, I decided I would set up a new account and start all over. I just created a new account, with my business email and the only thing I did was verify my email. That was it. Two days later I get an email saying how that new account is now disabled for violating their terms of service. The only thing I did was verify my email which Fiverr is the one who told me I had to. So how can I violate your terms of service for doing literally the thing you told me to do.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER
January 29, 2024

I want to give NEGATIVE STARS

I have had the worst experience with FIVERR. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. I have been SCAMMED by two different sellers for over $1000. In addition, I have been battling with the company AND my bank, as I have disputed these charges. It has been months and I am still battling to get a refund.

Absolutely horrific company! They are impossible to work with and service is very unprofessional.

Wish this company goes bankrupt

Updated review

Upon requesting order from seller. Seller delivered as promised but soon after week nothing work. I placed positive review and so on for seller. But had to cancel order in one week. Entire platform service is a scam. I tried contacting them no answer. I called my card they replied and blocked payment transaction. Now fiverr wants money anyway. They overcharged me 600$ for a service that they did not provide. For a review that is falsified as of now. But the moment I signed out fiverr ban me. Stating that email was sent out explaining what happened. No email was sent to me.
If I give a chance I would shut them down permanently. No star for this company. Stay away and don't even bother using this scam platform

I would not even give star.
Over priced.
Over egocentered.
And simply put not a good platform with to many rules and regulations that make only sense for the corporation greed.
I deleted my account and now I can't even start new one.
Glad I am no longer with them.

I have placed an order with them and they disabled my account and withheld my funds for 90 days.

I thought that it might be that i used some phrase or something that's wrong according to the fiverr policy.

Then i placed a second order using another account and again the same thing happened even though i was very careful because of my first bitter experience. I never did anything wrong.

It is the worst experience and i just quit and am thinking now about using other platforms.

Highly recommend not to trust them whenever they want will disable the account.

Highly recommend not to use your worst services.

This review began as a 1 star, and I changed it to a 5 star. There is a deficiency in the Fiverr software that made me have to rewrite my complaint every time the seller responded. I thought that the seller had figured out the perfect system to make sure the review never reached Support. However, it did reach support, and support resolved the issue within a few hours after I made the complaint.

I am unable to see my order or the artwork from the graphic artist. I submitted a support ticket and when I click on the link provided, I get a message saying "Oops! Page does not exist". LOL! I only spent $13 so it is no huge loss but it did cost me some time. Find a different service and save yourself some headache.

Horrible experience with Fiverr. Not only was the quality of the work delivered poor, but the customer service representatives hide behind little-publicized policies that limit how much time you have to either request a refund or leave a review.

I actually tried giving my Fiverr seller a chance because she seemed to be trying, but she was obviously incapable of delivering what she had committed and clearly did not possess the skills she advertised.

I actually have a much bigger isssue with Fiverr as a company - sponging money from buyers and providing little in terms of customer service - than I do with the Fiverrs I've worked with.

SCAM WASTE OF TIME
December 12, 2023

Most of the bad experience on fiverr will not be mentioned because Fiverr will not post them. I higher a Professional editor and he didn't follow directions not once not twice but three times. Every time he turn something in it was the same video. He never change anythig and he thought he was going to get away with it. On top of that fiverr did not let me post my review on the seller. Fiverr doesnt care about the customer at all. Yes, I got my money back but I lost my time dealing with this seller. Will I get that back?

Buyers who are dissatisfied with a seller can't get out of the contract unless the seller says so. It may not be working out between the seller and buyer, but the buyer may get stuck.

Nearly every single "illustrator" I have dealt with on this deceitful platform was a scam artists, who lies to everyone who contacts them. They pretend to be artists and illustrators but what they actually do is use photoshop to cobble together art they steal online and foist it off as original work. They are all liars! It's dangerous, fraudulent and can get you, the buyer, in serious trouble. It is astonishing and unconscionable that they 1) are allowed to do this and 2) make money form it all. It's very sad. This website should be sued and shut down, in my opinion.
Stay away. Stay very far away. You've been warned.

This site is a scam
November 6, 2023

I spent a good amount of time setting up my Fiverr account and watching videos they said my selling gig was published no issues and then a little while after i bought a logo for my profile, they decide to not approve my account. I think they do that to make money off of people buying logos for their profile since fiverr gets a cut of the money. Seems like a scam to me- written by BCDailyTarot

It really is hit or miss on Fiverr. Some reviews and sellers you can trust, others you cannot. I've had small jobs overseas that turned out great, and a big job from an American seller with great reviews that turned out to be a scam. Fiverr wasn't helpful at all. Wouldn't help me contact the seller, kept pushing the issue off, and finally to avoid my calling my card and disputing the charges offered to refund me 30% of what I paid to my Fiverr account. Sick of headaches I agreed. Come to find out they didn't issue it to my account balance but instead added the funds as a promotional credit which expires. Constant fighting to even get that reissued. You figure if you can't entirely trust every seller at least the company taking a percentage of each sale is there for a reason and will protect you. NOPE. You can't rely on Fiverr.

Fatima is a scam
October 29, 2023

She did not do the illustrations with proper grammar or spelling! She disappeared and never responded to messages for several days even though you can see that she is online! When she finally responded she tried charging me $280 for edits to correct spelling and facial expressions that she should have done correct from the beginning and the work was suppose to come with unlimited edits!

Do not use her she is a scam
