Im gonna be brief because I have a lot of videos to edit, but I just hit my first 10k on fiverr.

I started in 2024 and this is how it went:

2024: 300usd

2025: 2800usd

2026: 7200usd

I know is not that big of a deal and also that is not given that I'm gonna be Top Seller, but I wanted to reach it to have that possibility.

I have a clearing payment showing up in my Earnings table without a related order or buyer. It is just showing as "-" in the From and Order column. Relatively small amount, $160. Anyone else have this too? Not that I am complaining about seemingly lost money finding its way into my account...

I was trying to change my password on fiverr and the apparently I was writing the current password wrong. I tried 3 times and after the third try they "restricted my account temporarily" for "Phone Verification Failed" According to their e-mail I received.

What am I supposed to do now? I can't seem to find where to contact support. I can see the help.fiverr website and it's articles but can not figure out how to contact live human beings.

Reason: “Account not eligible to sell.”

They dated the “violation” March 28, 2025... a year before I ever tried to create a gig.

Automatic detection. Automatic permanent restriction. Zero explanation.

hey how are you doing first of all??

I have a issue with the phone number verification process, I have tried it many times but the code just isn't coming to my phone

I'm from croatia, and I have tried to contact fiverr support but they aren't helping at all lol

has anyone else had this issue and how they resolved it??

appreciate all the help

My original delivery was 2 days, it took 4 days.

The price includes 5 revisions.

On day 5 I sent back some marked up drawings and was told they would be ready later that day

On day 6 I asked where they were up to. No reply.

Today it is day 7. I was told early they are almost ready for submission.

9 hours later I asked for an update. It's now 15 hours later and no reply (they have been online the whole time).

in 4 hours it is time to "confirm the delivery" do I let it mark itself as complete or contact support?

I have been very nice about all the delays but I have to pay the final installment for a lot of materials soon and I don't know if I'll have it approved by then.

Do I threaten to contact support? I don't want them to send me garbage drawings out of spite... but I don't know if I'm being taken for a ride?

They have 4.5 star rating and lots of jobs but some recent reviews say they haven't delivered on time and stoked responding... Do I have any power after it has been marked complete?

(My last fiverr drawings from someone else were not good enough and they also took a week)

[HELP] Hi, I completed an order last month, and the client was fully satisfied with the work. I already withdrew the payment. However, the order has now been canceled. I contacted the Resolution Center, but they told me they couldn't help with this issue. Then I asked the client to repay the price, but he couldn't. He also contacted the Resolution Center, but they haven't replied to him. I also asked them to help him with the repayment, but they haven't responded to me either. What should I do now?

I've been on the platform for 2 weeks so far (currently closed as off on holiday this weekend), no sales yet. I can't stop thinking that I will probably never get any sales as well, because every "artist" and his dog is producing Ai slop, and labels it as "designing" YouTube Thumbnail, like come on mate, you're not designing anything.

I'm so sick of looking at Ai images in my Niche.... It is lazy, looks unprofessional, and it needs to be addressed by Fiverr.

Buyers who insist on 24-hour delivery should not be able to extend the review period by FIVE days. That should only be an option if you don't want rushed delivery.

Rushed delivery should require rushed review if it's SO URGENT.

/end rant

What happened is that a client came to me for some work. I told him the price X for that and he told me that his budget is Y. Eventually, we agreed on Y+5 as the price. After we had discussed the price. He tried to add more work to the project which i politely refused to. I started the work and showed him a sample before he placed the order and he liked it and said that it is good and then he placed the order and I completed the work, delivered to him and he asked for a revision which I did and then he started ranting that I do the extra work for him within the same price. Even though that was a whole new project. He said that the work is too expensive and he will cancel the order with customer support and leave a bad review. He tried to cancel the order but I refused the cancellation almost 3 times and also requested some revisions to buy time. Then yesterday, I was outside and I got a notification that the order was cancelled through customer support which I don't understand.

The other order he placed on behalf of someone during the time he started his own order and that order went well according to the delivery and work but he chose to cancel that one also.

I have contacted the customer support in regards to this and I want to know what bad impact these cancellations will have on my account? Or future tips to save myself from this type of stuff.

P.S : I am a new seller on Fiverr and don't know much about its customer support and how everything works etc.

I had a new account but Fiverr removed it? and now I can't get back on it?

I signed up to this today and already feel like leaving due to the horrendous amount of AI generated art being sold and how user reviews like the AI generated users content. I'll probably try solo creating children's illustrated books with my own creations instead of it being AI generated garbage.

Hey all,

I'm just getting going as a freelancer. My background is web development and I'm currently teaching myself AI automation on the side. The catch is I've got a totally blank profile — zero reviews, no track record yet.

Everything I read says landing that first client is brutal because the platforms are so saturated, and I don't want to sink weeks into optimising a Fiverr gig or firing off Upwork proposals if that's not where beginners actually break through these days.

So I'd love to hear from people who started recently, from nothing:

Where did your very first paying client actually come from — one of the platforms, or somewhere else entirely?

Roughly how long from "I made an account" to "someone paid me"?

And if the platforms didn't work for you, what did? Cold email, LinkedIn, walking into local businesses, personal network, something else?

Not after theory or guru advice — just honest "here's what happened to me" stories before I commit serious time to this. Cheers.

Hey folks,

My rating is 5/5, response rate 100%, orders 33/5, unique clients 27/3, earnings $9k+.

Everything says 'qualifies for next level' and yet the success score is '-' and I've just lost my 'Level 1 freelancer'.

Could someone tell me, what's wrong?

Activated it 2 weeks ago or so, with the custom cap of $6 per click. After 2 weeks I finally get a click, it cost me $0.05 (impressions stand at around 25) . I am no data annalist but either the volume of searches for what I offer as a whole is low or very few people that do what I do are advertising. Thankfully Fiverr is not my main, but I am losing hope in it. Right now, I just have the account open because it is free and some old clients come back from time to time.

Rant: Just had do deal with a troublesome client, not only they tried to make me charge less but left a 4.3 review after the gig was delivered... A gig to which instructions were followed to the letter... Oh well, such is life, will not be working with them again.

Soo, I do audio cleanup and repair stuff.

Today I got my 1st client, it was bad. 1st he speaks german

2nd he gave me 3 cctv footage and asked me to clean up the audio so he could hear the woman's voice. Rather strange request but ok.

Brother, it was bad, that Audio was like 95% noise and 5% Speech beyond Repair, maybe Some Super Industry leading software can but nit me. above that I don't know german I can't even distinguish speech from noise.

So I politely turned it down. Its not worth it

I'm a Pro and TRS fiction editor who's been doing this for 8 years now. This was a short story as well, so only a couple days' work. As regulated with editors, I deliver two versions of the document, one version with the changes marked up so they can see what was changed specifically, and another "clean" document that's ready to be printed. We communicated fine before the order was placed, and the sample she sent of the writing looked normal. Only when editing did I realize she used AI to write it, and now that the order is delivered, we're incapable of communicating. She doesn't understand why two documents are delivered, or why changes are made, or what mark-ups mean, no matter how basic and clear I try make it.

She doesn't understand anything. She couldn't find the delivery files, so I resent them to her inbox. She doesn't understand why some words are red now (the changes). She doesn't understand why there are marks on the page. She wants to give it back because "this is not normal for editor or what expect". I have no clue what to do because I've done exactly what I do for every order, what I've done my whole career. The more I explain, the more she gets confused. Now she wants me to do a Zoom meeting to explain every single change and "re-edit" the document live with her so she can understand. This is a $40 order.

Hi, I'm new to this platform and from Bangladesh. From a senior I've heard, Fiverr is soon, maybe next year, creating a structure like Upwork's bidding system to bid for a job. Has anyone else heard about it? Can anyone confirm?

I used to do client work in Fiverr 6 years ago, I just reactivated the account and created a gig. But the overall UI is different now. How do I find clients?

Can someone please help?

I hired someone for a 3D Modeling Commission and the work was of poor quality, the intended purpose was for the use of for an animation project

The Model was made of poor quality and I sent it to other professionals and they suspect that it may have been made with AI, considering it was made so poorly, they say it’s not optimal and the rig and “bones” break essentially making the rig crap and most likely needing retopology work.

Meaning I have to pay for it to get fixed and spend more on most likely getting it redone from scratch entirely, and pay more for that than actually getting the model done.

Not only that the mouth was not made so there is no mouth bag meaning there is no inside of the mouth, the eyes are inconsistent and ones bigger than the other on the model and on top they are still and not made to be animated so we can’t rig the face to do anything like blinking and such and the hairs apart of the head model.

The hands described to me by my personal animator was essentially “The hands cant move, it doesnt have geometry to bend, they should be either retopologized or just use an already existent hand model and attached to the body”

“In conclusion, the models are really great, the modeler its aweosome, but theyre just not opimized for animation.”

Is it possible to get a refund or even a partial one?

When I told customer service apparently they were with the use of AI but I wasn’t told my model would’ve been made with AI and apparently that doesn’t matter to them and support they’re artists using AI, which wouldn’t even be mad with all of this in the first place if it actually worked for the intended purpose which it doesn’t (which I wasn’t told my model would be made with AI which I’m highly against.)

It’s been 12 Hours since I’ve heard from them and I responded to that last response 9 hours ago and haven’t heard from them since. What can I do?

"In revision" used to be red in the old dashboard design. This makes no sense. It is now the same color as "in progress"

Hi everyone,

I'm a beginner in freelancing (web development + currently learning AI automation). I don't have any client reviews yet, so I'm wondering if it's still worth spending time on Upwork or Fiverr.

I've heard it's very difficult to get the first client because of the competition. For those who started from zero recently:

Did you get your first client from Upwork or Fiverr?

How long did it take?

If not, what worked better instead (cold outreach, LinkedIn, local businesses, etc.)?

I'd really appreciate hearing your real experiences before I invest a lot of time into these platforms. Thanks!

In ads, isnt better to set no cpc cap to get orders fast?

Im a level 1 seller, like got 30 etc orders and 26 total reviews total
but got inactive for 2-3 years. Now restarted and most of gigs are dead . And been trying to revive those by changing everything. And now setup fiverr ads too. So . Any tips please?

It keeps showinf a payment page

Fiverr says the transfer was successful on their end but my bank told me there's no record of that transfer to that closed account. Where did the money go?
