catwriter Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I’ve heard about it happening. I’m sorry you didn’t get what you paid for.Keep in mind, though, that Fiverr doesn’t allow the sale of services that take more than 30 days to provide. If a seller offers for the post to stay on the blog forever, as some of them do, that’s breaking Fiverr’s ToS, and isn’t a legit service (in other words, the seller either never bothered to read the Terms of Service, or is knowingly violating them; either way, not trustworthy, unless you already know them and have a great experience with them).

fonthaunt Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 yes that is correct, the gigs promised a high back link didnt realised this was temporary.One seller did a post on cafe mom a couple months ago now gone.It’s always good to keep in mind what @catwriter said. Fiverr ToS doesn’t allow a seller to offer something that extends beyond 30 days. If the seller doesn’t say that a service goes beyond that, then the buyer should assume it does not. If the seller does claim that the service extends beyond 30 days, they can be reported to Fiverr Trust and Safety. It might not get your own money back, but Fiverr can choose how to enforce the ToS which might include removing gigs or even closing the seller’s account.

fonthaunt Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The cafe mom cost 15 dollars complete waste of money:angry:If it was up for a over a month on a site with that much credibility, it should have been worth something. I wouldn’t consider $15 too much to pay for that kind of exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eoinfinnegan Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 It is also possible that the posts on third party sites like Medium etc were deleted for being spam/promotional which has a negative impact on the site’s profile and rankings. Many of the “HuffPost” articles that people post are deleted quite quickly. If the person who sells the link does not own the site themselves then they have no authority to say how long the link will be there - quite aside from the fact that anything over 30 days is not covered by Fiverr ToS.
