[Sellers lying on pricing]

I agree with the above opinions on the (probably intentional) vagueness of that example. While the ToS does state:

Gigs and/or users may be removed by Fiverr from the Site for violations of these Terms of Service and/or our Community Standards, which may include (but are not limited to) the following violations and/or materials:

• Spam, nonsense, or violent or deceptive Gigs
• Gigs misleading to Buyers or others
• Exceedingly low quality Gigs

It also states:

• Gigs on Fiverr may be offered at a base starting price of $5. Some Gigs are offered at a base price of more than $5 as determined by the Seller.

HOWEVER (source: Integrity and Authenticity - Fiverr's Community Standards):

Integrity and Authenticity

Misrepresentation

Misrepresentation is defined as fraudulent, negligent, or innocent misstatements, or an incomplete statement of a material fact.

Misrepresenting Gig elements

Do not:

• Raise the price of your Gig service in personal messages before or after purchase. Bait-and-switch marketing is not acceptable.

I guess what I’m getting at, is your example is working through a loophole. They promise nothing specific, and thus are skirting the rules. So: report them.

Fiverr relies on it’s community to report gigs. They’re busy enough with reports that seeking out more isn’t something they likely do. Personally I’m glad the wait-time for response from CS is down. For a few months in 2020 they were taking weeks to get to peoples tickets.

which report option would you recommend?

i appreciate the new replies, i was hoping fiverr was monitored a bit more actively by the staff but i guess this is not the case. thanks all for your help.

Your disappointment in the comments is belied by the lack of details in your original post.

In the forum, the practice of targeting or calling out specific buyers or sellers is prohibited. The seller you referenced is non-leveled, offers unlimited revisions, and sells a service of writing legal documentation and binding return policies for a dirt cheap price. Those are big warning signs that you seemed to have overlooked.

The seller you referenced is unrated

they have 5 stars from 16 reviews?

i am disappointed in some of these replies to be honest, so i will explain in more detail…

I do read the whole gig description of course, i did not post in here because I am not reading things, take this gig for example… ******************** when contacting the seller they want $60 for the service.

for those that say there are other sellers that i can find, i am really annoyed at these comments, of course that goes without saying, but I am bringing this up because half of the sellers are using this behaviour… and me contacting 20 sellers to find one thats honest is a waste of my time.

Can someone from Fiverr please tell me what Fiverr is doing to stop sellers who advertise for $5 and then when you contact them want 10x more for the gig they are advertising, its a total waste of my time.
