“Terrible experience hiring
This isn’t exactly a review against the company, but they are part of the problem for not controlling what their freelancers publish. I hired a freelancer to help me with a task I couldn’t figure out due to a lack of time. So, I went on Fiverr to look for someone. I found a freelancer named Anada A and selected the basic service, which was priced at $20.
The task was simply to open a port in a firewall—something that, if you truly consider yourself a networking specialist, should take no more than five minutes. This so-called "networking specialist" accepted the order, but once it was confirmed, he reached out and demanded more money. This infuriated me because it’s an unethical tactic that takes advantage of customers' needs.
It’s not about the money—it’s about respecting what you offer. If you advertise a service at a certain price, you can’t change it after the customer has already placed the order. But that’s exactly what happened. I saw the price was $20, I placed an order, and then he changed the terms. Fiverr should take action against freelancers who list services at low prices just to attract customers, only to later increase the cost unfairly.
I had a terrible experience with this freelancer, and I won’t be using this platform anymore.

“My first foray into using Fiverr was an absolute disaster, marked by subpar service and a complete lack of professional competence. Despite multiple attempts to resolve issues with my project, getting support from an actual human was impossible—responses were automated, unhelpful, and delayed. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is not a priority, and there is no accountability for freelancers who fail to deliver. This entire ordeal has been a frustrating waste of both time and money. I strongly advise potential users to consider other more reliable services where customer support and quality are taken seriously.”
“I regret ever registering with this Trade Company. They are just being dishonest when they promise to let you know but never follow through. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I strongly suggest contacting Mrs. Charlotte Scott to avoid making the same mistake that I did. They gave me great assistance in getting my money back. It is strongly advised that you take advantage of this opportunity to get in touch with "Charlotte Scotte and her remarkable team". You can contact her via

“I invested $17,500 here to trade based on their signals. The scammers provided me with videos of real trading based on signals, as well as screenshots of PNL. I was eager to earn the same, so I fell for it and invested the money. But I didn’t know that I was dealing with a fake broker, not a legitimate one. As it turned out, the scammers just took my $17,500 and then stopped responding and i got so worried about it, so I decided to share it out to my friends, before a friend of mine directed me to Mrs. ''' Morris Meihua '''.. she was the one who helped me recover all my lost both my profit and i was so glad, yo can also reach out to them if you are being scammed before or even finding it so difficult for you to withdraw the money which you have invested on any broker, they can help you out....

“The seller conned me into closing out my order and did no work. I contacted Fiverr and they are just giving me the run around, they keep asking me the same questions just waiting for me to give up, they arent trying to help me. They asked for pictures and video of the issues and they didnt even look at it. BEWARE OF THESE VENDORS ON HERE! If you have a problem dont expect Fiverr to help you!
It was not addressed, I was conned by the seller. Be careful sending large amounts of money to anyone on Fiverr.”
“DO NOT USE THIS PLATFORM IT IS A SCAM. I purchased a gig on 9/24 and it was supposed to be completed in 10 days. Here we are (10/28) several weeks later and it is still not done. What is worse is the freelancer that was 'helping' me did something and now when my business is googled, multiple versions of my website some up. There is no customer service at Fiverr, they only have AI customer service. I am not sure if this is allowed but his username on Fiverr is Mike Oliver and he is from Pakistan.”
“You will create it Yourself faster.
If You want to play with scammers and kids - Fiverr is Your place.
Your order can last for a month and in the end seller will disappear - Fiverr does nothing about it. They don`t even close such account.
It`s a bad idea, go somewhere else.”
“I’ve been a loyal Fiverr user, but my recent experience has been incredibly disappointing. I hired a seller for a project, but the delivered work was full of fraudulent practices and copyright violations. As someone without programming skills, I initially couldn't verify the quality myself, but the seller was struggling with their team to get the software working. They were practically begging me to mark the order as complete, and in good faith, I did.
After a month of continued issues with the software, I had a programmer from Holland review the code, and he discovered that the seller had copied content from different applications into mine. After confronting the seller, they agreed to cancel the orders (#FO83193B8C708 and #FO61E7330EA84), but despite this mutual agreement and solid evidence of fraud, Fiverr refuses to issue a refund.
Fiverr's position is that, because the orders were completed more than 14 days ago, I’m not eligible for a refund. However, this isn’t just a case of delayed dissatisfaction – the work was clearly fraudulent from the start, and I’ve provided Fiverr with extensive evidence, including a document detailing the issues and screenshots of the seller admitting fault and agreeing to the cancellation.
To make matters worse, the seller has refused to return the money directly, leaving me with no choice but to rely on Fiverr’s mediation. Unfortunately, Fiverr’s support has been unhelpful, sticking to their policies rather than addressing the fact that I was scammed.
Fiverr’s marketplace should be a safe place for buyers, but this experience has left me feeling frustrated and unsupported. I trusted Fiverr to help resolve fraudulent activity, but their lack of action has me considering legal steps and filing complaints with consumer protection agencies.
This experience has completely shattered my trust in Fiverr. If you’re considering using Fiverr, be cautious, especially when it comes to their refund policies and handling of seller misconduct. I sincerely hope Fiverr takes action to protect buyers in the future, and I still hope I can recover some of the money I’ve lost.”
“Insane religious freak owners who allow sellers to harass you about their cult, and if you ask them to stop they ban you and steal your $. Fiverr belongs closed & the owners in jail. Complete nutcases.”
“Absolute trash for buyers. System is full of scammers and Fiverr staff supports them over the paying customers. So even when you prove the contractor lied and couldn’t fulfill the job, the contractor and Fiverr keep the money and say there’s not enough evidence.”
“Biggest scam I have ever seen. Fees are applied everywhere you turn. Be aware, you only going to get a tiny proportion of the actual amount, by the time you withdraw, plus you will have to wait at least "10 years" to be able to withdraw your money. Customer service don't exist at Fiverr, its like their run by 2 rats in a bedroom. Stay away from these scammers, there are plenty better then them, use Guru, Toptal, PeoplePerHour, Freelancer, Truelancer, Outsourcely.”
“Unfortunately, fiverr deleted my negative review on TrustPilot so I am sharing 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.”

“One of Fiverr freelancer infringe my copyright on audible, I presume he does not know now how to remove. Fiverr not helping.
So beware if you have written a book and a freelancer stole your copyright you will have no voice and forced to hire a solicitor.”
“One of the worst platform that you can work with either as a Buyer or as a Seller. And one of the worst Businesses in general !
As as Seller , Firstly they will let you run your services as long as you need , charging the most famous highest rate ever of 20% and another from the Buyer , then they would anytime suspend your gigs and kick you out specially when their algorithm makes your gigs shine on the top of a Buyer choices "unless" you start to "spend" what you earned on their platform , promoting your gigs or taking a training or whatsoever! The simplest way of doing it is picking up the easiest reason "Not complying with our Community Standard / Integrity / Policy " !! A policy that I doubt any of their staff read or understood ! Or whatever comes on their way !! They tend to find all the ways to diminish your business and they would accept anything from anyone of their Buyers that helps on that as long as it is against you!
P.S: Their decisions cannot be "undone" and not "discussable" :)
As a Buyer , nothing special on the platform except a huge enormous security system that hinders the innovation and the proper discussions with Sellers !! On other similar platform , you can Video call the Seller through any meeting app ! In fiverr , the maximum would be to find a data entry specialist ! They are trying to expand .. true , but with their mentality in how business and innovation being managed, how would you expect to have a Business Plan through a seller from USA , who is not vetted and probably staying in Bangladesh and not the cute lady that you see her profile photo ! Only cause the platform read the IP address , easy to bluff !”
“Very poor service by Fiverr's support team.
I am a second tier seller on Fiverr and in six months my sales exceeded $16,278.
But my order number on #FO71AF87781C5 got canceled after buyer accepted my delivery.
I complained about this to Fiverr support but after 15 days I still got nothing, because of this the order fulfillment ratio decreased and I became a new seller.
And the main thing is debt fever has added $668.25 to my account and they are deducting this money from my other orders.
I have never seen such poor service anywhere, it is very bad and sad too.”
