Hi all, I've used Fiverr for about 7 years as a buyer and about 4-5 months as a seller
I find the watermarks to be....counter productive.
Imagine this, I need to share the image with the team to get their feedback and see if they want any revisions. The watermark is obtrusive and unprofessional. Actually looks like I stole someone's work
Imagine this, a common business, I get a local client who wants a design. I hire my friend through Fiverr, and now I want to share the design with the local client to see if they want revisions. I can't without making it clear that I am working with someone through Fiverr - which I don't mind them knowing, but in their eyes, it cheapens the work because they think it was cheaply done abroad.
On the seller's perspective, I imagine the fear is someone using the work and then canceling the order? I believe that is the only way to abuse the image without a watermark.
I can't imagine this happening often at all. In fact it seems Fiverr support lately has been favoring the seller more - as long as the initial requirements were met.
Anyways, it seems some people have reported this happening with the watermarks too - so it's almost like it'll happen either way.
Personally as a buyer, the watermarks skews perception of the image, and doesn't allow me to be a liaison with Fiverr or with my friends who work through Fiverr.
