gem_cutter Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Is it against the T&C?For example, I offer a proofreading service. If I spot a profile or a gig page with many spelling and grammar mistakes, is it ok for me to contact them offering my services? Or is that considered spam?

expertkeya Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Yes, that is considered spam. But make sure that not happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catwriter Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 You’re only allowed to contact Fiverr sellers if you want to purchase their service, and need to ask them something about it. Anything else can get you reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I were to, say, offer a deal to buy one of their gigs for $5 in exchange for them buying one of my gigs for $5, would that still be considered spam?

lloydsolutions Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I will help you to edit and rewrite your long essays.Helping with essays is not allowed on Fiverr. Your gig is likely to be removed at any time. If you type “essay gig denied” in the search bar above there are several posts on the subject.
