I just hate Fiverr !

Use Upwork

Fiverr is full of kids, who want to earn money using free methods which they found on the internet. If you want to earn money on Fiverr, get Fiverr Pro.

I was with Fiverr since the very beginning. We had our ups and downs, i was a top rated seller at one point. I collected a few strikes throughout the years, finally last year (or maybe the year before it?) i got my account banned. lol
One of the strikes was total BS. They accused me of asking for email addresses from buyers, when in fact i was selling a CPA approval guide, which required an email address, it was needed for the applicant to contact the affiliate manager. I never once received an email address, nor did i ever asked for it. I guess not only PayPal use monkeys for support.

Yes, Fiverr is full of cheap and/or stupid buyers. That's how sellers can sell absolute garbage and get away with it.

I had push button gigs only, descriptions were clearer than the sun. If someone greated me with a question, i knew, that it won't worth my time. After some time you develop a 6th sense to spot morons after the very first message, even if it's just a "hello". After a while i stopped answering to stupid questions and after a while i stopped answering to any question following the "don't bother me, just buy my shit" mentality. This strategy worked pretty great and helped to keep my sanity.

You can't really blame a platform for stupid users though, but you can blame them for incompetent staff.

Lots of wisdom in this post.

Ive made 20 x's more money in 8 weeks on BHW with the same gig than an entire year on Fiverr. 100% less hassle to.

Good riddance OP!

Lol. When I first started on YouTube, I was referred to use BigBuddy's YouTube Views BST thread. I used it a few times and was getting great results and didn't have any problems. One day I was on Fiverr looking for something and saw some YouTube views for $5. I guess you already know what happened next.

I bought some.

The channel was still fairly new, so I wanted to start slow. I bought 2k slow drip views for one video.

Within 24 hours the whole channel was hit with THOUSANDS of views, likes, comments, and subscribers. I was like, "WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!????????? I DIDN'T ASK FOR ALL THAT!"

The video went down and the channel got a 6 month strike for "Suspicious activity impossible for a human to perform".

I haven't been on Fiverr since.

I am laughing so loud right now. I thought I was the only one who figured this out. Haha!

A long time ago, I was selling an ebay tool on YouTube and the product/sales pitch was pretty cut and dry. All the customer had to do was click over to my website and click "Buy Now". I was getting plenty of automatic sales, but every now and then I would get an email from a customer asking for additional clarification about the product before they bought it. I would respond, but there wasn't really any additional info I could include in the email that wasn't already stated in the video/website. So responding was pretty redundant. Even still, they would often reply back numerous times asking more questions, sometimes causing the conversation to go on over a period of DAYS.

Then I started to notice that NONE of the people who had asked me questions via email had bought anything. They just emailed to talk, I guess.

After that, I told myself the same thing you just said:

"After I respond to one email, I am not responding anymore. I have already fully and accurately explained the product on my site. If they still can't figure it out, then that's their problem."

It really is liberating when you can immediately spot a fake customer and tell them goodbye. Maybe we should post this as a method:

I'm sure Fiverr link buyers (from several years back) would not run out of NIGHTMARE STORIES to share
