r/Fiverr

So I wanted this one song to get remix right? I decided to go to Fiverr to see if there was anyone who was offering remix commissions. I found this one particular one, and paid $82 to get the song I wanted remixed. After a few weeks I decided I wanted to cancel the order. However the seller keeps declining the cancel request and I keep having to make a new one. I keep telling them over and over again that I don’t wanna carry out with it anymore but they keep being stubborn and saying they can improve the song and make it how I want it, but I don’t wanna carry out with it anymore! I can’t seem to find an email for customer service, so I can’t talk with Fiverr directly to cancel my order and get my money back. This seller is basically holding my money hostage and keep declining my cancel request even after I told them I don’t want it anymore! I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. How do I contact Fiverr directly? This is $82 by the way. I’m so angry about this whole cancel request system in the first place. I feel like I should just cancel the order straight away.

Buyer sent google link for his requirement which has his contact no in it.
What should I do ?

So I’ve a client who pays per hour rate.
Let’s say 5$ per hour.
So me and my acquaintance work on same project, mostly we divide.
It’s basic data entry task.

I complete work in 2 hours and delivers and he completes the same work in 5 hours.
So I get $ 10 and he gets 25$ for the same work.

So my question is, isn’t it unfair ?
Shall I talk to the client or just do my work.

I got a message from a client, he wanted 13 animations based on some images.

I gave him a price but he denied and said his budget is low, but we agreed on a mid price, but we agreed and excluded so many things including SFX, HQ rendering, and One revision for the whole order.

I deliver him the files early.

He likes everything but wants some stuff fixed too, so he sends a revision, says these 2 files needs this this and this change.

One demand was absolutely doable but the other was technically impossible or at least very very time-consuming and he never mentioned it while submitting his requirements.

I told him this is very difficult to achieve but i can try and see, One file was fixed but that impossible task was not.

So I deliver his files again and explained that its impossible. He sends a revision and and says try again or I'm not paying, I already spent 3 full days working for hours on his delivery I tried again and he still didn't like it so he sent 6-7 revisions and was becoming so rude.

At 7th revision I confronted him that sir thsi is entirely somthing new and different from what you originally wanted, he said you're not understanding me, you're misunderstood from the start this and that.

He requested to cancel but I declined, he said I'll leave a bad review I said do whatever you want ruin my profile but this is wrong, its been consecutive 9 hours I'm sitting at my computer saying yes sir yes sir to everything, you crossed the limit of revisions too far, he involved fiverr so did I.

Then he started saying okay let's do it this way, I'm very happy with 99% of the files but chnage this, I declined.

What do you think is gonna happen? Will I get justice?

This is my first time using Fiverr and I’m certain this person is a scammer but I’d like to know your guy’s thoughts. For context, someone reached out to me offering to give me tips on how I can improve my essay. I had done my essay but I wasn’t sure if it was strong enough or if there were other things it was missing that could’ve made it better. This person offered to look over it and give me advice. I paid them $15 since that’s how much they asked for. Soon after they messaged me back telling me that they were done but that they would like to have a call to discuss things better in detail. I didn’t mind at all so I told them it was okay. We scheduled a day to have the call. Now this person has a picture of a woman on their profile and the name they’re using is Joyce so I of course thought that I was going to be speaking with a woman. Instead I got a guy and it completely caught me off guard. He did go over his points though and what he thought I should fix. The call wasn’t long it only lasted about 30 min. That was that but now he has messaged me again asking for $30 because apparently he said that another student prior to me had disappeared without paying. He said it was his first client after 3 months of being jobless and that their actions affected him. Now he is asking me to help him out because he said the money I originally sent on Fiverr is going to take about two weeks until he receives it and that he’s in need right now. I haven’t replied back but this definitely seems like a scam to me. What should I do from here? Should I report his profile to Fiverr?

They said i need to verify to get payment, verification doesn't work, my funds were taken and not returned even though it stated that they were reserved and will come back, I lost 2000+ pln cause of it (now i know i shouldn't have done that). Can't get my funds back because of "we can't return funds in this step of verification", and when i said to give me paragraph in rules where it states that i need (amount) of money to verify and to give me link to support i got no response. I'll try to call my bank and explain it

Hello! Basically, the question... I decided to try Fiverr Plus for 1-3 months and see what happens, I have one gig that is pretty well, it was 10 SS and got 2 "big" orders but I needed time to complete them, like 1-1.5 month, and the SS lowered to 8, and now I'm falling to Level 1 (It's ok, I have accepted to ignore the SS) But... I wanna know if changing the FAQ or adding negative Keywords can restart the system... Probably, if I change the title, images or keywords, it would, but I can't be sure about those two.

Thanks a lot!

And it seems every gig is run by AI!?? What's going on? Wanted to make a dance challenge video for TikTok but the communication from the 'gig worker' was nothing but AI and I'm pretty sure the videos being made are just stock videos badly matched to people's music. Yet many folk in the reviews seem oblivious to it and cannot tell that their vids aren't human made. Don't know if I'm more miffed about AI run gigs or people unable to notice they are being played!

Hi, how does it work when a client want a revision on freelancers side ? Do I deliver the work first normally to close the order first and then they ask for revisions or would you send it in the chat the process or order and ask for feedback and if they want to revision ?

Thank you.

I’ve commissioned a graphic designer on Fiverr for a complete YouTube channel rebrand — logo, profile picture, banner, the whole lot. I gave what I thought was a pretty thorough brief upfront, but v1 came back and I wasn’t thrilled. I gave detailed feedback and now v2 is here… and I’m still not blown away.

I don’t want to abuse the system or be that client, but I’m also not getting what I had in my head. Is it normal to go beyond two rounds? At what point does asking for more revisions become unreasonable? And how do you even frame that feedback without it turning awkward?

Would love to hear from both sides — buyers and sellers.

No idea why this is? They trying to flame me into doing more work. Didn’t change a thing success score shouldn’t have lowered by one point.

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to freelancing and I just set up my Fiverr gig.

I’m currently offering a 2-page in-depth Finance memo with quantified mathematical analysis and consulting for $5 USD.

I lowered my price a lot because I’m just starting out and I’m trying to build reviews and experience fast. My thinking was to compete hard on price first, then improve and scale later.

Do you think this is worth it as a beginner strategy, or am I undervaluing myself too much?

Would really appreciate honest feedback from people who’ve been in freelancing longer.

I just made an account less than an hour ago, and was reaching out to a couple of 2d artists with the same basic msg and just got permanently banned?? Is there any way to actually appeal this??

I hired a digital illustrator and she is only submitting AI generated things… I have confronted her many times and nothing is changing, she still says she is drawing them.
What to do, she ruined my whole gift time line and I dont want other people to go through this.
Real artists are losing space to these scammers!!!!!!’

Hi hello! So I have a video editing gig and this one order from a client is under rvision rn. The client said they left a comment on the order. For some reason I cannot or I don't know how to view it. I googled it already and still can't see how to view it. Please help

Qualified months ago and still not approved. Is there anything to speed this up?

I honestly feel sick writing this.

I’m completely new to freelancing and Fiverr and was trying to get started making some money online as a student. I had no experience with crypto/payments/scams and ended up getting manipulated into making transactions through MoonPay and Skin.club.

In total I lost:

• 402.38 USD
• 402.38 USD
• 213.55 USD

Over one thousand dollars gone. Literally most/all of the money I had.

What’s making this worse is Fiverr support has been incredibly unhelpful. I contacted them confused and panicking because I genuinely did not understand what was happening, and instead of guiding me on what to do as a beginner, I got vague responses and then basically ghosted.

I know people are probably going to say “how did you fall for that,” but please understand I’m new to all of this and the scam looked legitimate at the time. I already blocked my card, contacted my bank, and started disputing the transactions, as well as contacting both websites but I’m terrified the money is permanently gone.

Has anyone here dealt with something similar involving MoonPay/skin.club/Fiverr scams? Is there ANY realistic chance of recovering the money through chargebacks or fraud disputes?

Please don’t flame me too hard. I already feel like an absolute idiot. I have no idea what to do now and haven't told my parents yet.

Hey guys, I was already Level 2 on Fiverr, I’ve been on the platform for 3+ years, and I currently still have recurring orders. However, I want to change my niche. I’m a graphic designer and have worked 100% focused on cover arts on the platform, but for more than a year now I’ve been working as a web developer and designer, and I’d like to move my Fiverr profile into that field.

What’s the best way to transition the profile? Should I delete everything related to cover art and create new gigs, or mix gigs from both niches?

I know I can’t create another profile just for this, so I wanted to ask if anyone here has already gone through this kind of transition and what actually worked.

I’m also thinking about using Fiverr Ads focused only on web design. I already run Fiverr Ads on my current gigs, but I’m considering disabling them there and focusing only on web design on the platform.

Has anyone else seen this weird Fiverr scam attempt?

Twice this week I’ve had almost the exact same situation happen with spokesperson video orders, but with completely different people.

The first time, someone messaged me wanting a video, but when it came time to order, they said their “brother” would place the order instead. After delivery, they kept insisting they “couldn’t download the video” and repeatedly pushed me to send it through a Google Drive link instead of Fiverr delivery. The strange thing was the buyer account (“the brother”) never replied — only the original person kept messaging.

Then today, a completely different person contacted me, but the conversation played out almost word for word the same as the previous one. Again, they said their “brother” would place the order, they said the delivered video was “perfect,” then immediately claimed they couldn’t download it and kept pressuring me to send it via Google Drive link instead.

I’ve delivered 1000+ videos on Fiverr and have never had download issues like this before. This feels way too identical to be a coincidence. Is this some kind of known scam, and what’s the angle behind pushing sellers to use Google Drive links?

Whenever someone tries or thinks about growing, most of you have definitely heard these words: “Fiverr is dead,” and that only people who started during COVID like 2020 are still making it, and there’s no way to get new gigs. But that is wrong.

I also heard these things, but I started in 2026. In the first month, I learned the market, like where competition is low. I worked on keywords and optimized my Fiverr. From $0, within a month I reached Level 1.

The whole game is about market knowledge, like where to enter and where competition is high. There’s no doubt competition is tough, but you should know how to pull orders even in that.

I also did outreach outside Fiverr to get orders, and my Fiverr is still growing. Don’t listen to anyone, just start now. You will grow no matter how high the competition is.
