Fiverr

I agreed to a 10 day deadline for an animation project with a seller with up to 7 revisions. He barely made the deadline for the first delivery and it has been an average of 4 days between revisions with poor communication and poor revisions.

I wanted to leave a review of the seller but fiverr disallows that after 14 days after the "delivery". $#*!ed policy. I just want to warn other buyers about this guy but I can't leave a review and the work is still unfinished. Horrible experience. Stupid review policy and useless customer support.

Fiverr is the right place if you have skills and want to be your own boss.
Nowadays it is the time of freelancers and other people who can work from the privacy of their homes.
And the great thing is that such people can earn more than the average person doing a 9 to 5 job. Although I must say that I have a huge respect for blue collar people too.
But I feel like I am more productive when I can choose the schedule I want and when I can set the deadlines for myself.

Fiverr is getting worse on a daily basis. Suspending people for no reason with no possibility to explain. There is absolutely no respect for its users, not even those who have been there for many years without one negative feedback. What I have experienced with them after 13 years of hard and honest work, I have never seen anywhere. From one of the best working sites they turned into the worst one, not even deserving a 1*. It is not worth a second of one's time.

Awful company, I will never do business with them. They hire incompetent designers who are only nice until they see money. Tey hire fly by night designers who are here today gone tomorrow sort of like a homeless shelter. Very disappointed with their customer support. In fact we got no support at all. Very rude and uncooperative company. I will never do business with this company ever again.
Big mistake.

Loads of the scammers on Fiverr.
Fiverr does nothing to help but allowing the crime happening without providing proper solutions to the buyer. Customer service does not disclose reasons why their decision is made nor they do anything to the seller while it is obvious the seller is a scammer. They allow the scammer on the platform and do not proper protection to users. DO NOT USE FIVERR.

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.

My Vendor promised a working set of construction drawing and I she failed to product anything of vaule and Fiverr Customer service is worthless. They do nothing and take no measures to help you get what you paid for Stay far away from them

If you are a buyer/ seller on fiverr who reading this, I want to tell you that please move away from Fiverr because it is now filled with scammers and frauds. I had my account for nearly six years and I was an active seller for past 4 months. Suddenly fiverr decided to close my account by saying that "Services that you offer harm the integrity of our marketplace and violate our Community Standards".

All I have done is reporting a scammer who asked me to contact them on Telegram. I was an AI artist on Fiverr and that scammer messaged me and asked me to contact them on telegram because they want my services regarding a project related to naked images. I confronted them by saying I am not willing to work with scammers and I reported their messages. After like 1 hour, I received an email saying that "my account has been disabled ". All i did was reporting this shi*ty scammer. Idiots who work in fiverr decided to close my account instead.

In summery following are the issues with Fiverr according my 6 years of experience,

1. There is no any protection towards the seller.
2. Sellers who offer good quality services either left this platform or their accounts got disabled without any reason/warning.
3. It is now filled with low quality sellers who are willing to run away with buyers' money.
4.If you are a seller, any buyer with bad intentions can exploit the system and have their work done for free. As of now they can even leave a bad review after that.

According to support agent Milo. I can give my freelancer a 1 star review and then ask the freelancer to do extra work for free so that I will remove the review. This is totally allowed on fiverr. No need to thank for the tip. "Best!"

If you live in the US, this site is basically completely worthless. In a nutshell, people in 3rd World countries use it to provide services for a fraction of the cost that people in the US charge because their cost of living and exchange rate is so much cheaper. So it is literally impossible to get work if you live in the US. Fiverr also deactivates your account if you don't manage to get work anyway. Do not waste your time.

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 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.

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.

I've been a seller on Fiverr for over six years, providing custom services, with over 556 total orders and 99% positive reviews and 5-star ratings. Fiverr changed their leveling system without notifying me that these changes are being planned and are taking place, I was downgraded from Level 2 to No Level and my gigs were removed from the search results. On top of this their system was comparing my custom made approach with sellers that offer premade material and my services that naturally require more time were automatically interpreted as lower performance. After this terrible experience I tried to reform some of my gigs in order to be more competitive and received 2 warnings for changes I wasn't aware happened and received this message:,,Your account has been flagged for offering inappropriate services that are not allowed in our marketplace." - while dozens of other gigs are still offering premade content on the platform. My goal is to encourage newcomers to thoroughly evaluate Fiverr before investing significant time and effort. By sharing my experience, I hope new freelancers can make informed decisions about where to invest their valuable skills and resources. Hopefully not on FIverr.

Unfortunately, fiverr deletes negative reviews on TrustPilot so I am posting it here:

I had quite an unfortunate experience with Fiverr's invoicing system. When preparing my tax documents for the year 2023, I noticed that Fiverr had not issued any of my invoices. Upon reaching out to them, I was informed that these invoices were deleted and are no longer available.

This was a shocking revelation, as it directly contradicts the legal requirements concerning financial documentation. I promptly addressed their non-compliance, only to be met with silence. My subsequent emails have gone unanswered, leaving me in a precarious situation with the tax office.

Now, I am in the process of gathering all email communication to substantiate my expenses, a task that is both frustrating and time-consuming. This incident has made it clear that Fiverr's services may not be reliable for business purposes, particularly for those who place importance on maintaining accurate financial records.

To anyone considering using Fiverr for their business needs, please be forewarned - you may face difficulties in securing your invoices. This lack of support and disregard for legal protocols is not only disappointing but also detrimental to the seamless operation of any business.

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.

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.

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

This site is a great resource for purchasing cheap assets for websites/print/video. I have purchased illustrations and backing music tracks. With pricing, you definitley get what you pay for so remember that when bidding jobs out. Also, several artists will advertise their prices "start at" $20. However, in my experience, once you discuss details, you never get a job completed at the lowest price advertised and I have been asked for $10 the amount at different times. Be careful to read the reviews of the artists you work with as some take a very long time getting final products and some have very poor English language skills which can make the design process arduous at times. Also, be sure to specify the file formats you need because if you accept a final product and later need a different format (for print for example) you can expect to pay again. Overall, this is a good resource to have avaialble, just remember the results can be hit or miss depending on the artist(s) you work with.

Fiverr is forcing me to work with an unqualified seller on my project! I don't have the time to teach this seller! Fiverr dont care about their customers only their own profits! I would not recommend i would use other platforms instead! Unethical!

Don't want to cancel order and to receive order money you need to have 150$ in your card and to ad on it they say take order free

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.

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.
