The problem with non-vetted sellers?

[takmelius]

I haven't been on fiverr very long, but a week ago I came across a seller that had displayed work in his gigs from at least 23 different unaware artists; none of whom have fiverr accounts.
Is that a common occurrence with non-vetted sellers and are vetted sellers vetted in that area?

Please go to the seller's profile and report him/her using the report flag that appears underneath his/her username.

[takmelius]

I already have. He changed the images and replaced them with new ones... also not his work.

You could either report the seller once again or directly contact CS explaining them the situation. Here's the link in case you want to reach CS: https://fiverr.com/support_tickets/new?source=help_center

Thanks for the link. My question though, is should I expect to encounter that often on here unless I choose to work with pro sellers?

You're most welcome!

You will also find Pro's who aren't honest, maybe not that many, but you will definitely find them. Honesty depends on the person, not on his/her status. 😉

Oh I absolutely agree, but that's not what I meant. What I meant was, does fiverr check Pro sellers' gigs to make sure they are their own in order to give them the Pro badge and label them "Vetted professionals, verified for quality and service"?

@frank_d is a Pro seller. I think he'll be happy to answer your question and to clear any doubts you may have.

Thank you for tagging me in @maitasun

hi there @takmelius!

 

yes to answer your question, Fiverr Pro sellers and their gigs are vetted by Fiverr staff.

 

Not only that but if I edit my gig, or change the samples on my portfolio, it triggers a new manual check.

 

Furthermore we need to consult with the Fiverr Pro editorial team before opening a new gig, to ensure our offering is legitimate and compelling.

 

Hope this answers your question!

this is why new sellers like us gets no order and have to get disappointed. just report them please

[takmelius]

I have reported them, but like @frank_d mentioned in a post, the admins are busy for the time being.

[takmelius]

Hey @frank_d! It's been almost 20 days since this guy has been reported and they still have stolen work on their profile.
