[leslie_edmunds]

ok has anybody had this happen to them?  i was looking for someone that could get my campaine birthday surprise going. It was suppost to be a surprize for a friend for his birthdayin sept i was going to raise funds for his plane ticket and hotel stay here in canada. I contacted a seller that i thought could do the job after seeing their reviews.  Anyway contacted the seller named [username removed] i explained what i need and could we get started. it was still early in the campaine. We did a few changes. their last post for me was one Aug 19th and on Aug 22nd before i could respond pooof gone. i guess i should have been more careful.

I’m not sure if these types of services are allowed on Fiverr.

hay guys question. does fiverr really work or is it just wishfull thinking on my part that when you contact a seller who you think that can do the job. you contact them they say they can do the job but weeks and weeks and weeks turned into 2 months later and no donations at all. i thought when cantacting 

[Username removed] he would be able to help me raise donations for my trip next year so that i can start plaining. well it looking like its not happening. yet hes helping a new person that he been working with and within 3 weeks hes helped this person get donations.

am i just picking to wrong person or does the sellers really work on fiverr? oris it just me

I'm sorry to hear your frustrating experience on Fiverr. It's disheartening when expectation are not make specially when it involves an important goal like fundraising for a trip. 
I believe fiverr can be a valuable platform but likely any platform this experience can vary greatly depending on the specific seller. It;s possible you may have encountered a seller who was not able t deliver on their promises and it's unfortunate that it has not resulted the expected outcome.
