I ordered a $50 Apple Gift Card at Itunescarddelivery and paid via Paypal so far so good. Then only after you pay they start asking you for a verification including a photo of you holding your ID. I found this a bit fishy so I sent my official ID that matches my name and Paypal account and also provided their requested voice mail verification.

However, they rejected all my verification submissions while holding my money. I contacted their support and I'm still waiting for my money and no gift card. Their verification is more like the one needed to apply for a job at NSA and not for a silly US Gift card. I requested a cancel and refund and still nothing.

Meantime I ordered the same at http://www.mygiftcardsupply.com the verification was done via a code they Text to your phone and voila I had my $50 Apple USA Gift card in less than a minute!

Lightning fast delivery! I will use again! Thank you! They verify your phone conveniently via a text message. Really efficient!

I went to fiverr looking for a new logo design. After wasting tons of time filtering a lot of offerings I chose three designers and gave them the job. One of them despite having an impressive portfolio really wow stunning original logo designs, she delivered a very amateur design so the portfolio logos weren't her work... obviously. Second designer the same story, fake and stolen design portfolios.

How could fiverr be done smarter? When I post a job, I want to be able to filter gigs by the number of verified jobs done and the feedback ratings. I can't do that and it shows me a designer with #1 rating just because she/he got two jobs and got highest feedback probably were her/his friends. If I am willing to pay for quality and say I place a budget of $400 for a design I want to keep all the fake, junk and scammers away and not waste my time.

Beware of Arbitrage: arbitrage are people that have a luxury level portfolio and they look authentic designers but at the end they are subcontracting other designers and getting a margin. Yes they are making money without doing anything... fiverr can detect this easily by automatically analyzing the reviews tree because the arbitrage folks give reviews to the real providers too.

You can get what you need eventually after spending a lot of time. If your budget is higher you will get more junk to filter out and fiverr doesn't help.
