I am getting really fed up with all the misrepresentation that goes on on FIverr. I really wish Fiverr would tighten up on this and do something about it. For example,
-
People lying about which country they’re from. And don’t give me that, “Oh I accidentally chose Panama but Fiverr won’t let me change it” line. I have a seller who says she’s from the UK and her English is so bad we can barely work together.
-
People lying about whether they can speak English. No, using Google translate is not speaking English. We all know English is a very peculiar, very difficult language. Don’t say you can speak English if you really can’t. This is a major pet peeve of mine. I’ve wasted so much time and money with sellers on this one.
-
People who say they can do SEO work but don’t have a clue what they’re doing. Another thing that ticks me off. I ask you to do simple <title> and <meta> tags. I even complete half the rows on the spreadsheet for you. I give you URLs for the site, keywords, etc. And yet you STILL can’t figure it out. What this tells me is: you don’t really know SEO. So why are you selling an SEO gig???
-
People who say they can do sales, but really only offer clickbank or other garbage traffic schemes. Sales is sales. Traffic is traffic. Don’t reply to my buyer request for a salesperson with a Clickbank, TrafficMonsoon or other garbage traffic generation scheme. Ugh!
-
People on Fiverr from Ghana, who say that they can’t use Paypal because it’s banned in the country. I’m sorry to hear that, but that’s not my problem. No, I’m not signing up for Skrill or some other payment processor who’s gonna charge me $4.99 on a $5 withdrawal. If you don’t have Paypal in your country, then perhaps you shouldn’t be on Fiverr.
What are your pet peeves?
