I opened a seller account to set up a few freelance illustration and writing gigs. 99% of the customers are too cheap to even pay beyond the basic $5 and will try to force you to give them work for free or "Samples." They will also turn around and use the work for commercial purposes or resell them when your gig T. O. S states specifically that they have no right unless they pay the extra licensing fee.

Customers also force you to do free revisions for completed work that they initially gave a five star review for and personal messages of praise for such a good job you do with your work. Believe me when I say it. They will twist your arm to get free work out of you and hold you hostage with threats of bad reviews if you don't.

Speaking of ratings, they're an elaborate joke. You can be the nicest seller and give the best work possible, but they'll still give you mediocre reviews.

Customer service is non existent. I've only gotten automatic replies from bots with regurgitated info that has nothing to do with your issues. I never once was able to get into contact with a living human being. They don't even have a phone number.

After a while of dealing with this website I decided to pause my gigs and take a few months off to focus on a full time art job I was offered and get my sleep schedule rearranged so I can work on Fiverr and my full time at the same time.

A few months turned into five months when I finally felt ready to come back to Fiverr. Lo and behold, when I tried to log in my account was restricted. I figured they restricted it because I was gone for so long. I went to customer service to get into contact with them and I couldn't even submit a support ticket because I'm not even able to log in to begin with.

Their customer service frustrated me a bit too much over something so simple. This website is obviously not worth my time, so I'm not bothering anymore. At least I won't have to deal with shady people anymore. Good Riddance.
