Overall Satisfaction with Fiverr

I feel that this is on one of the worst platforms that you can work with either as a Buyer or as a Seller, and one of the worst Businesses in general!
  • Nothing
  • Communications between sellers and buyers
  • Algorithm that spots, deletes and suspends gigs and accounts randomly
  • Reliability for business !
  • Reliability for Quality
  • Technological Tools for getting things done
  • Business Approach
  • Relatively High Rate of Commision compared to competitors
  • Nothing Special indeed
  • No, I kept spending money for better services and long invested in that, however, I don't think it is reliable.

As a 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. In my experience, they would anytime suspend your gigs and kick you out especially when their algorithm makes your gigs shine on top of Buyer choices "unless" you start to "spend" what you earned on their platform, promoting your gigs, or taking 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 innovation and the proper discussions with Sellers !! On another 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 are being managed, how would you expect to have a Business Plan through a seller from the 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 reads the IP address, easy to bluff!
