They are going to expect everything you said you would do and anything they think that includes.
And sometimes they are going to expect something you just don't get. I had a guy make me a logo. It was for a hermit site, a guy who is a hermit. The seller made me three versions of the logo, all with snails on them. I could not make him understand that a snail in not a hermit crab, and I didn't want a fucking hermit crab anyway. I wanted a cave, or a cook fire or something having to do with a hermit. Could not get this thru his head, and he wouldn't let up on the snail.
Handle it two ways:
Sell products instead of services.
Make a questionnaire out for your gig and send it to the customer to fill out. Get it back and look it over, them send it back with a deliverable section listing what they get. Have them sign off on this. Start work after they approve the deliverable, and use this to defend yourself if they squawk.

You do know that 90% of the articles sold on fiverr are googled > copied > then pasted, right?

I have problems with fiverr sellers actually. They tend to mislead, promising millions of fans, etc.... But usually their gigs suck. I can get more traffic for free then from their gigs. And these types of gigs are always on top, have positive feedback, collected many times.
So it takes patience to dig deep and find a reliable provider.

Many of the providers on their waste your time. The good ones are usually backed up with orders and cant deliver on time. But most of them are too good to be true.
There are a lot of cheapskates and freeloaders in this world. Sadly, they become even more demanding, and expect even more quality service for pennies (or free) once they get online.
Great idea. Would be nice if a database like this could be shared among other sellers.
There is no such thing ass fiverr customer service. only thing we get is some automated responses. Once i got a negative feedback (my first negative feedback) from a competitor. he was intentionally gave a fake feedback and he used all possible length and All caps to write that feedback, so i just gave him a refund asked him to remove feedback. but he didn't. so i contacted fiverr customer service. they started to send those automated SHIT. i didn't stop also. i replied everytime i get auto response asking them to remove feedback. finally a real person contacted me and threatened me not to ask about removing feedbacks.
So if you want more sales. Just buy gigs from competitors and Ruin their gigs Or find some other place to work like oDesk.

well I was looking to do some stuff on fiverr. But right now it seems things are pretty negative.. although I have to say, some of you are nuts with the amount of work you are doing. I have been thinking of things to do that take no time but I'm not the type to deliver email lists/likes etc...
but I won't do anything that takes me longer than 30 minutes. Sounds foolish to me personally. So like the guy back on page two, your gigs should only take 1-5 min to complete

A few years ago I was just like you. Always mad and raging about retarded customers who can't read, can't understand the simplest things and so on.
But then I realized that it isn't worth all the troubles. Look, you can't change the customer. But what you can change is your own attitude. You need to accept the fact, that there will be always a retarded customer who expects you to do things you never promised. Everyone who deals with customers has to deal with those type of customers. That's usual business. If you get a customer like this, stay cool and don't take it personal. Be polite, offer a refund and move on. Believe me, life is getting easier if you do it like this.
I never had problems with the fivers customer service. I contacted them like 2 or 3 times and they always replied fast and helpful. They even deleted a negative feedback I got from one of those above described customers. So I really can't say anything bad about their customer service.

using fiverr is like paying $50 for a car and then bitching about not winning the indy 500.

i've worked on net 90 before as a contractor. that sucked.
I've got this really worst experience with Fiverr customer support. It's really getting me mad over them.
I got an order in fiverr, and I completed them, but the buyer argued that I did not do the work and gave me a negative feedback. I stated the start count before I start, and told him the end count of the order as well.
I submitted a ticket on 3 September, someone named Susan attended me. I asked to look into the order between me and the buyer, I suspect it was my competitor who purposely left me a negative feedback. Then she asked me to wait for 24hours.
After 24hours, I contacted her again, she said me to communicate with the buyer. But the buyer is not logging in his fiverr anymore. And she asked me to wait for another 24hours, she will look into the matter.
I replied every 24hours, but everytime they tell different things. Asked me to wait for several days. I questioned about "several days" but they can't give me an exact timeframe. The guy called Joel is the whole shit of the story. I screwed it.
They are not helping, overal. If you are thinking to ask help, think twice

I had the same experience on Fiverr.
But it's not as bad, you earn some good money, you have lots of buyers and some of them are recurring. I had buyers that bought me like 5 gigs per day.

A nice little tip when you contact fiverr support is to provide the Order No. (can be found below your name in the order page/conversation). You help them find the problem fast.
That's what I do and they always reply.
Also if you have provided info to the buyer to contact you out of fiverr (skype, email, etc) prepare for the banhammer so think clever before you take any decision,
cause they always check your inboxes.
