Why not ID (identify verification) in Fiverr?


zero_doshomik

Question

I have found that Fiverr has no ID verification option. This is because many people are working with false image and skill, cheating with their academic institutions and teachers for submitting their work after Fiverr delivery as a buyer.


This is alarming for the future generation. 


However, I have found that the Upwork freelancing service has an authentication way to verify ID or proof. 
I know, if more sellers will use Fiverr, it will boost up Fiverr business, but at the same time, there are indeed lots of professionals working here with top quality service and commitment, which will help too.


So, my question is, how would Fiverr consider this issue as a new strategy to the ID verification method?

Fiverr does require ID verification, but usually not right away. No system is fool-proof.

Please see: https://www.fiverr.com/support/articles/360010968038-Verifying-your-Identity and https://www.fiverr.com/support/articles/360011329498-Account-and-profile-settings 

As for the false images, while Fiverr does not require a Profile image be of you, they do require that you own the image.

If you see a profile breaking the rules of Fiverr, report the profile or gig.

I got your point, but if the system is more like government ID verification, that will be better at least the age limit.


And for reporting, should I report about the buyer who is actually a student and doing their project by Fiverr seller?


I don' know how to do it, but my question for the Fiverr system should be updated and more transparent for buyer background.
I am supporting those students who are working to support their education and family by doing service here, honestly.

YES. Report! Buyer OR seller, asking for OR offering academic services is against the Fiverr Terms of Service. (See: Homework and academic services https://www.fiverr.com/community/standards/prohibited-services) Cheating, or helping someone cheat is NOT permisable.

There are plenty of students on Fiverr, but they offer services like drawing, or coding, or voice over work.
