Sure I get that. But either way, the pros of being able to leave a negative review outweigh the cons. Because of my expierience on here I no longer have confidence in fiverr. I surely didnt expect some one with a 5 star rating to do something like this. If you ask me fiverr is a marketplace and should protect their buyers. The same way if I were to go to an ad agency, and they screwed me over I would be able to leave a negative review about them even though I was refunded. Its as simple as that. If the seller does good he/she deserves a good review and if they perform badly they sure as h*ll deserve a bad one. Imagine this senario for instance, the seller had a good reputation and decided to sell her account or that she had 10 gigs performing very well and now decided to nah screw this, its way easier to plagiarize and thats how Im going to do my job. The next 20 people will buy her service expecting good results only, because they had faith in fiverrs system. But now they risk getting sued if they use “her” work. Sure in some cases it could be used for manipulation, however in the overwhelming majority of cases it would actually serve its purpose. Its a win for the consumer.

I dont think that its unethical. I order a service, the seller couldnt do it and therefore deserves a negative rating. I should review the seller based on their performance. I did end up buying their service and I expected it to be delivered, but it wasnt. They both wasted my time and I lost money because of it. Isnt it more unethical to plagiarize? This is all valid feedback and buyers deserve to know. Fiverrs review system is rigged, people who are unhappy with the service cant leave reviews meaning that the seller can buy their own service and post good reviews. Either way I bought the service and whether or not I got my money back, if it was the sellers fault I should be able to leave a negative review. I’ve noticed one thing and almost no seller has a review below 3 stars. The seller who plagiarised my content had a 4.9 rating and will continue to plagiarize and people will fall victim because she included a fake “plagiarism check”. Because of this more than 1 week of my time was wasted and I had a strict deadline to follow. And who is going to compensate me for that. No one. So the least I could do is leave a negative review right?

Hey there Forum, I was bummed by the fact that I couldn’t leave a review after I was forced to cancel two orders, from two different sellers. I requested for them to do product descriptions to which they both agreed, however my expierience with these sellers was garbage. The first seller promised me that the gig would be finnished within 3 days and gave me updates where he stated that there has been progress and I have nothing to worry about, another day passes and he told me that he is almost finished and that I will recieve my word file by the next day. I heard nothing from him that day, radio silence. The day after the deadline I woke up to message saying that he is sorry, but he wont be able to deliver the work he promised. The second seller in question turned everything in on time, however there was a BIG ISSUE. The work was 100% plagiarised. She took product descriptions straight from amazon without bothering to change a single thing and turned the work in as her own. Once again this was blamed on a partner and she told be that she was busy preparing for her wedding. How is this acceptable? And why can’t I warn other people about potential fraud and potential lawsuits because the work was plagiarised? This could’ve been prevented if there was actually an honest review system in place. Now it seems that you can only leave a review if you were pleased by the results. Sure I got my money back, but my time was wasted. I made it clear to the seller that it was a time sensitive job and what would have happened if I hadnt noticed the? What if I blindly trusted the sellers because of the good reviews? If this happened to me I can only imagine how many other people have fallen victim to this. I want to call them out for their unproffesional and illegal behaviour. This isnt fair to anybody. Can I name them on this forum and provide evidence?
