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.

Sure. We tried it today. Not surprised at the add-ons and handling cost of $12 but furious that my "refund" is not a refund of what I paid and then cancelled the order. I don't ever want to use the service again and I want my credit card refund of $25. I don't want a credit. I want my money refunded. I think I make myself clear. A refund is not credit. A credit is not a refund. Boo Hiss to the owners of Fiverr!
http://forum.fiverr.com/discussion/*******/gigs-disappeared-from-search-because-fake-orders-for-over-18-months
Extremely disappointed. Sellers make the proposals and cheat you. Promising everything, delivering just fraction of the order and promise. 5 star rated people deliver extremely low quality work asking 180 EUR for this, delivery is late even with 2 weeks delivery time. I am not able to cancel the order. I am not able to get my money back and the support does not answer. Never again!
I agree with the comments about potentially exploiting talented individuals for little pay but hey, no one if forcing folks to sign up to sell their skills and it does provide a commercial arena to build ones experience. What I have the biggest issue with is the fact that they use copyrighted artwork and music illegally potentially putting the buyer at risk for legal action and damages. I have notified them of this on several occasions and still they offer gigs like "The Minions" BE VERY CAREFUL - it doesn't matter that they sold it to you, if you use it, you own that use and are subject to legal actions against you.
How dare they expect to pay hard working creatives $5. For their creative services? This is insulting and disgusting!
I offered a translation gig on fiverr, 800 words for $5, in 2 days max. A buyer picked up on it and ordered several gigs at once, several times. Since they always ordered several gigs I ended up being late on most of the orders, which led to a bad score. The buyer told me they didn't care and they were satisfied with my work, never left a positive review though. At one point I ended up in hospital for a few days and wasn't able to respond to another order the buyer had placed. They cancelled the order and left a bad review and now my gig's score is so low, that no one will order it ever again. Also fiverr keeps $1 for every gig you sell, which is basically 20% and far too much, and it takes at least 2 weeks until you get your money. Never again.
TOTALLY BOGUS. COMPLETE BS. At least if you drop $5 on the street, somebody worthy of it will benefit. Not these liars, theives, and for all intents and purposes, criminals. Trust no one on this site. Seriously profitable scam they have going on. Sickening.
Fiverr.com a 5 Bucks services where you can get stuff done, i would say its a great marketplace to sell your services, if you are too good you will receive a junk of order and you can start from 0 to 50 order per days as well.
Some of sellers services are really an awesome, like video reviews, Video compose, some backlink stuff, some traffic, some Google campaign and many more.
But you have to accept that, quality will be poor, what make the different where some one provide 500 USD services in 5 USD? Yes you got better understanding now
So try it when you need to make thing filthy, Not all the services are in this categories but sure some one who give you 5000 visitors and 5000 likes in 5 bucks what will be the quality?
Ya BAM!
Do not buy ANYTHING! This site is a fraud, I had 470$ IN MY SHOPPING BALANCE AND I GOT BANNED FOR TOO MANY CANCELLIONS WHICH ISNT TRUE THIS SITE IS A SCAM, I HAVE TAKEN LEGAL SCTION AGAINST THEM AND SUED 15.000$ GUYS LETS SHUT DOWN THIS FRUAD SITE
Just try to navigate their website. As a buyer of these type of services for many years I can only say, I tried to find my "seller" and the site is so poorly constructed that you'll literally waste hours there. They don't allow you to alter or pick your own deadlines so your seller is pushed to get something / anything out to you without feedback. They're all apparently terrified to not receive payment for their work! But what a waste of time for business men! Customer service?! NONE. I wanted to fund my sellers account before leaving for a trip. I received no response after a week. FINALLY, my credit card rejected 2x and when I asked Chase why they said all transactions are originally rejected because of so many complaints! Well I met some decent sellers, it's so sad that they are tied to this horrific company. Yes Fiver r stings!
AmazeSolutions & Fiverr Are Both Frauds
I provided them information proving they use bots for fake clicks to websites. I let them work for 1 month which showed not on single real person came to my site from them and all clicks came from three different cities with only the ip addresses changing slightly. They immediately filed a mutual agreement to refund my money which initially I thought was pretty straight up until i realized the money goes into your fiverr account for more jobs. I did write a ticket to the head of the support and he actually did refund it back to paypal... but
As soon as the seller sent the mutual cancellation and i accepted it (with no knowledge of what ill explain later anywhere in site), that erased the possibility of me leaving a review of this fraudulent seller (he had something like 22k reviews 5 star) so basically the fraudulent seller have a shield and a way to hide on the site provided by fiverr themselves.
I have to wonder if fiverr is in cahoots with fraudulent sellers because of the high 5 star rating for an obvious fraud and for the ways they provide them to keep this hidden and does not give an accurate review system which is so important. It all only makes sense if this whole thing is geared to screw you from your money which is what i think is happening here.
Based on the many other reviews I've read across the internet i think i got extremely lucky getting my money back to paypal. Even so I can tell this site is still active in fraudulent activity.So be warned. I should also mention no job i ever bought amounted to any sale or anything beneficial. You do the math.
This website is full of fraud i was seller on this website and today what i saw they blocked my account and it was nearly $700 was there in my account including upcoming payments now am trying to contact them and they are saying they can not unblock so means all the money they are gona take it in their account. A BIG FRAUD WEBSITE
If anybody want i have a full prove screenshots of my account that show the money.
I recently bought gig on fiverr and got cheated by guy from "INDIA", and there is no effective support given from fiverr team, so, I gave up! There are many good service providers also, but keep yourself ready to for disappointments.
I just had to file a dispute as a buyer with PayPal because Fiverr closed my account and took my money! Fiverr is able to get away with these types of illegal business practices because they are located in Israel and not the United States?
I honestly believe they continue these horrible practices because they are not subject to US business laws. Nothing is going to happen until there is International pressure on Fiverr. I will hold my breath on that one.
They just received a $30 million dollars in funding (see this wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiverr.
Awesome website and services. If you are a seller, Be honest and be patient you will gain great money. If you are a buyer, just try to chose the right seller, and understand how the website works. If you get scammed, you should contact customer support and you will get your money back within few days.
I never had a bad experience with fiverr. I work there for 5 years.
I have never seen such system, i earn money there they keep holding it for days in the account, to be true, i did not like the system and i will not work from there anymore, i have done some research and there seems a few web site that fiverr alternatives: such as
https://www.isvarr.com
https://www.seoclerks.com
http://www.fiverup.com
You can choose any of them you like and i suggest you to also contact to them about their safety...
Fiverr sucks very much. I just gave an oder to a seller who siince I paid has gone missing, not anwering me. The fiverr policy is that i have to wait for 2 days for the cancellation to take place. The dude who took my money has to accept and then i can get my money and start over again with a nother seller.
THIS SUCKS
It is a good tool for businesses to increase productivity of the company.
You can buy / offer services from $ 5 administration tools easy to understand.
Paypal payment method
Answer: I used Fiverr for my company logo. The guy lives in Vietnam and speak minimal English. I paid for an upgraded package with an unlimited amount of revisions, 3 original logos, stationary and Facebook as well as Twitter page covers. What does unlimited mean if a revision takes 24 hours and each revision is correcting spelling mistakes or telling him you don't want a green dog in your logo, I want a natural looking dog. His response is "you choose font and gives you a pale old lady stockings colour dog" instead of a white Dalmatian with black dots or a brown German Shepard. In the end I used an online translator to translate my requests from English to Vietnamese. He told me to sketch something and he'd make something. If I could sketch something then I would do my own logo. The one logo that I liked was the one I gave him all my ideas for. All he did was put it together in the right format. I was so frustrated with his other two attempts that I said ok give me the first logo with stationary and everything I've paid for. I got the most basic design, no stationary or headers. Did I go through customer service? OF COURSE! Throughout this whole ordeal. I described every little detail. Each time a different person would reply and say "I can understand your frustration and I will contact him". Only to have him return with the same dog in orange or turquoise and every time customer service would spit out the same line "I can understand your frustration and I will contact him. We see he is responding to you within 24 hours so for us that means you are trying to work things out. I want my money back! Sorry we can't give you your money back. The seller has received his money and its up to him to give you any money back if he so chooses. It was a dreadful experience. I ended up using an online logo maker and I loved it. PLUS it actually cost less. I'm now doing my own website. If you have the patience then try to do it yourself. Do NOT skimp on your website. The way the world is run today you want your website and all social media presence to correctly reflect your quality. If at the end I'm not happy with my website I will go to a professional and pay what it costs. Hope this helped and good luck
Answer: I know I have to wade through a lot of questionable sellers to get a good one. Happy hunting. There are good ones out there though.
Answer: All I can say id Fiverr is the BIGGEST SCAM going. Had to dispute the charges through my bank to get the money back
Answer: Stay far away from fiverr. I paid a guy to do some work and proved with third party techniques they used bots for fake views to my site. Yet this guy had many many great reviews. You cannot trust this site whatsoever. Stick with paypal as you most likely will get nowhere with fiverr.
Answer: If you want a site designed to steal credit card data from hard-working, civilized people, please use Fiverr. It is designed for one thing: to take your credit card data and leave you to deal with a mess. More details, reply or search for my previous posts.
Answer: I can only imagine you got swindled and feel bad about the fact you trusted someone. Don't feel bad, you did nothing wrong. There are sites who take the time to vet their sellers and then there are sites like Fiverr who let's anyone to join with zero check on their credentials. The entry into selling on Fiverr is so easy that it borders on ridiculousness. Anyone can lie about their location, experience, education, and just about any credentials. Some of them are really clever and mask their fake profile pictures and gig descriptions really well. Fiverr is so secretive about their vetting process, which I seriously doubt there is anything in writing, that you can't trust it. The seller's level is a joke - I've gotten cheated by ones with thousands of reviews. How they received literally a thousand or more review is mind boggling. Go back and check again, you'll notice like 99.9% of the million or so sellers all have 5 star reviews. All legitimate businesses have a combination of good and bad reviews, most average around 3/5 or if they are a really great business 4/5 but for a large company with like a million or so freelancers with zero credentials having 5/5 pretty much tells you there is something wrong. Like I said, you did nothing wrong. I hope you didn't lose too much money. Their philosophy is "We don't care how crappy the delivery was as long as the seller delivered you don't get your money back."
Answer: The answer is plain simple NO! You will get your followers, yes! But they are all bots, so you will lose 90% of the followers the same week, might as well throw this 5 bucks in the air.
Answer: There is very little in the world that is unique. You have to trust or spend a lot more $$$ or do it yourself
Answer: I would suggest having nothing whatsoever to do with Fiverr. When things go wrong - and that happens a LOT - there is no customer support line to call. They make it very difficult (in my own case, impossible) to resolve any problems. Read the evaluation reviews- they are extremely negative. My advice: find another site on which to offer your services. DG
Answer: I've had 28 orders and all but two were very satisfactory. Most were PDFform building or business card templates, but I had s few design logos for me then used the one I liked. Buyers: it's cheap. Remember that. When the service is good I tip generously then use the same person. I get great service, often in one day. When I order, I add express service and have yet to be disappointed. It's a business model without customer service. Face it. If you want customer service, go to Nordstroms or Nieman Marcus. Do a better job selecting your service provider; be clear in the order, and overpay.
