Update Terms of Service

[hotwebideas]

A better thing for Fiverr to do would be to display a pink box like they do when you mention an email address or phone number. That works well to deter sellers from giving out that information, so why not show the pink box for anything that causes a seller’s level to drop?

I can’t find anything in the TOS prohibiting the transmission of URL’s through the messaging system. With exception, if it were a direct attempt to communicate outside of Fiverr, a violation may be interpreted under the Staying Out Of Trouble section.



"To protect our users’ privacy, user identities should be kept anonymous. Requesting or providing Email addresses, s***e/IM usernames, telephone numbers or any other personal contact details (Other than your name) is not permitted. All communications, information and files exchange must be performed exclusively using Fiverr’s messaging system."



If this was not the case, I don’t see where the TOS was violated.

oldbittygrandma said: You mean to say that you take Fiverr traffic, traffic that Fiverr's pays to bring you and you redirect buyers onto your website to where they are offered to buy something from you directly, off of the Fiverr platform?? I would think that doing that, is not allowed.

 

No, Jo.

 

He's saying he sell a "review" , "post" , "etc."

 

And that in order to "prove" delivery he sends the buyer a link to "his website"/"blog" where he's written the review.

 

Now, I suppose he could "send a youtube video showing a screen capture of the post. However, I would think that would cause more questions than answers for the buyer.

 

I think fiverr is powerfully reasonable.

 

Will errors be made? Sure.

 

However, I've found Fiverr generally allows an "exception" to the rules. For example, OBG posted this: To protect our users' privacy, user identities should be kept anonymous. Requesting or providing Email addresses, s***e/IM usernames, telephone numbers or any other personal contact details (Other than your name) is not permitted.

 

However, Fiverr allows s***e and Oovoo based gigs.

 

Now this even became a problem ONE time in my history. A buyer bought a s***e based gig. And another gig. Asked about the s***e gig in the other gig. Got himself "redlined" I contacted CS and told them what happened, and they were like, OH OKay, no problem. Keep with the rules bye :)

 

LOL

So if you hire a graphic design person or website fixer person for instance, how would you transmit your web site URL to them?

[voiceoverwork]

Reply to @oldbittygrandma Ah, I see clearly now. There are gigs offering services via telephone, so the buyer must provide a phone number. Once a seller has a web site link or phone number, doesn’t that open a back door for future contact outside the fiverr system?

[caiterz]

^ that is true…

[marieknight]

All I am saying is that in a court of law ambiguity in a contract such as the TOS benefits the person who didn’t write the contract. That would be us sellers.



It would just have been nice to know about all of this BEFORE I had to go through it. I read the TOS and it doesnt specifically state Anything like what i posted



It’s all over now, but I lost half a months worth of sales. My hope is that by putting it here that someone else can avoid it. Or that Fiverr will update their TOS so others don’t have to go through what I and others like me have.

This is clear and understandable. But what about when I want the seller to connect with one of my team members to fix a technical issue? I have several people user testing a mobile website we wrote … I’d like them to connect with my techie people.
