  1. @uk1000 might be right, there actually seems to be a Chrome extension that offers to help you rank on Fiverr One thing's for certain though. It's an extension that gets @maitasun to respond on this post 😅
  2. You're timeless... your name will resound in the minds and hearts of the generations to come... for you're the one and the only..... (dramatic music ends, wait for the trailer.. this was a teaser lol)
  3. If you hadn't mentioned Lewis Carroll, I would've thought that this is from Google Maps 😅 In the spirit of sharing quotes, here's one from me: People will come and go but spam will always prevail - Em-Gen-Sun007 (disclaimer: it's one of my pen names, not to be confused with any of the existing or past forum usernames, any resemblance is purely coincidental)
  4. https://www.fiverr.com/gwyneth_galvin I think you have the option to put the link to her gig in the reference field while reporting.. might expedite the whole process of takedown as well since it'd be obvious that the image is stolen.
  5. The ideal thing to do would be to delete the current account and use the "Forgot Password" option to try and gain access to your old account. If you run into issues you can always contact support by sending an email to support@fiverr.com for further assistance. But yes, as the other users have mentioned on here, you can't have more than 1 active account. You can read more about it here: https://www.fiverr.com/terms_of_service Abuse and Spam Multiple Accounts - To prevent fraud and abuse, users are limited to one active Fiverr account and one active Fiverr Business account. Any additional account determined to be created to circumvent guidelines, promote competitive advantages, or mislead the Fiverr community will be disabled. Mass account creation may result in disabling of all related accounts. Note: any violations of Fiverr’s Terms of Service and/or our Community Standards is a cause for permanent suspension of all accounts.
  6. You might want to take this up with customer support, you can email them at support@fiverr.com
  7. Dang, that's a bummer. Why not try asking for a supervisor on the same ticket/a new ticket and ask them to provide you with a detailed breakdown of why those funds were deducted. Sometimes CS reps tend to reply in a scripted manner, so you might have to keep on checking with them till you receive a proper response from them.
  8. Because.. To err is human, to Fiverr divine..
  9. Maybe a typo? The intended word probably was "massage"? 😅
  10. Your frustration is understandable, but Fiverr too is a victim here. Because a) Fiverr too isn't getting paid b) chargeback is expensive to deal with and has probably costed Fiverr a lot of money already. The cost of investigating a dispute is mostly borne by the merchants, not the banks. In fact, even when a merchant wins a dispute, they are still at loss because of the chargeback costs. You can read more about the way chargebacks work and the associated costs (approximate) here https://chargebacks.com/true-cost-chargebacks/ and here https://chargebacks911.com/chargebacks/ I've come across several posts here on the forum where sellers shared their experience of how Fiverr compensated them on orders that had chargebacks on them. And I did admire that about Fiverr, which is why I too am surprised after reading your experience, but then again, the rationale part of me understands Fiverr's stance for the aforementioned reasons. Truth be told, any merchant would rather choose a refund over a chargeback, again because of the costs involved. On the same ticket/support conversation thread, try asking for a supervisor and explain to them that you did all that was asked of you and that the buyer too seems to be happy with the delivered output and request them to compensate for the time you put in. Share supporting screenshots and other details that might help your case. A long shot but worth a try, but I would urge you to think from Fiverr's point of view as well and be empathetic when you make that request. $300 isn't a small amount and I realize that it hurts where it hurts the most, but Fiverr may have lost a lot more money covering the dispute handling costs. At the end of it, in most cases, the dispute might still be resolved in buyer's favor despite merchant's best efforts. And that's just how the nature of things are, the system by design is buyer oriented (the logic being that people should feel safe when ordering online, hence the dispute process was created which sadly your buyer seems to have taken advantage of, you AND Fiverr were just unlucky to have come across this buyer, if anyone's to blame, it's them, for exploiting the process created to protect them)
  11. Hey, is the forum working fine at your end? It seems broken where I am at.

      Hey @surajkartha! How were you able to make that one post?! I couldn't do anything. I even wanted to react to your status update with a 'sad face,' but could only respond with a 'heart.' That was pretty crazy! I'm glad the issue with the forum was eventually resolved.

      Thanks for all your posts on the forum! I really appreciate all you do to make the forum a better place. 😊

  12. Fiverr has never for once declined my refund request. So long till your request is genuine and in line with Fiverr's Terms of Service, you should have no issues getting your money back. Of course, it's hard to deal with support sometimes since they mostly respond in a scripted manner (which is also understandable considering the volume of requests they may have to respond to), but overall, they've been great. So, no need to feel that the money is wasted. If you've shared the proof, details etc. I am sure they'd refund the money. However, if and when they refund the amount, it'd be credited to your Fiverr balance, if you want it credited to your payment source, you would have to refer to this article: https://www.fiverr.com/support/articles/360049910953-Cancelations-and-refunds- My suggestion as a buyer is that if you are new to the platform, go with the experienced lot, sellers who have a decent amount of positive reviews and history on Fiverr. I usually look for sellers based on their a) review count (I have a minimum review count in mind) b) negative reviews and how they handled it (this is the time consuming part) c) pricing d) location (based on the type of job, for instance, if it's translation, I'd prefer to go with a native speaker and location search filter comes in handy). Not in the exact order, but you get the idea. Also, the process varies from person to person, depends on your requirements, budget etc. I guess. Here are the links to two threads you might find useful: and Shoutout to @gina_riley2
  13. I am afraid you will have to wait for the support team for more updates on your refund... all of us here on the forum are either buyers or sellers and even the staff who moderate the forum do not intervene in the workings of the marketplace... so ya, just wait for the support team to get back to you...
  14. Reach out to Fiverr's customer support by sending an email to support@fiverr.com. (alternatively you can open a ticket by visiting https://www.fiverr.com/support_tickets/new) You can check with them to confirm if the seller has indeed blocked you or if it's a technical issue. Btw.. I do have this weird feeling that the seller is probably trying to get you to talk to them outside Fiverr (which by the way is violation of Fiverr's terms of service and might cost you and/or the seller your accounts) The reason why I feel so is because of this review the seller (assuming it's the same seller you are referring to) left you on your recent order: Not trying to insinuate that it's intentional on seller's part, but just a possibility, either ways since you aren't able to reach out to the seller via Inbox, it's best to contact Fiverr's support team and find out what's going on. And meanwhile if the issue somehow gets resolved and you are able to chat with the seller again, you might want to remind them of this specific point from Fiverr's terms of service(https://www.fiverr.com/terms_of_service) (again, assuming that you are referring to the same seller who left you the aforementioned review)
