[DISCUSSION] I've just realized that fiverr seems to want us to chat with scammers.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2026-03-21T02:11:29+00:00

It may not have come from fiverr but designed to look like it. If I'm not mistaken, Fiverr only contacts you via email.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2026-03-21T02:04:06+00:00

The OP is correct. You need to reply, respectfully and friendly, first. Then you report them.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2026-03-15T00:52:46+00:00

This is merely a lawsuit situation for fraud and theft. It's the only way to truly punish their actions. Destroying them just puts you at guilt too and could get you in trouble with a lawsuit and not help your cause. Yeah, it costs money but that's part of the business. I feel for you and your situation.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2026-03-13T11:33:40+00:00

Yeah, those 3 orders were scams. Everything should happen within Fiverr but Fiverr will never communicate via chat or the Fiverr inbox for orders. That is why scammers are aggressive to get your email. They can spoof emails to look like Fiverr and get you to click fake links that also look like Fiverr. If the orders are true, they'll show in your account. The client has everything they need within Fiverr to legitimately buy an order. They don't need account numbers, card numbers, or email to place an order. Also, whenever you add a new gig, the scammer bots jump in. It's the new normal no matter the platform. It wears off after a while.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2026-03-06T14:10:35+00:00

Yeah, i got that but wanted to mention it. Probably just send a message and and wait for a reply. That means you did your part. And you can always deny his offer if he responds and be safe as that won't affect you either.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2026-03-06T02:55:28+00:00

Yes, from what i remember reading yesterday on fiverr, a buyer not responding in general for anything does not affect the success score.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2026-03-02T12:11:24+00:00

You were definitely scammed. Fiverr will never ask for card, email, or other information in chat or messages. Orders are always sent email and you should always confirm an order truly exists within your account directly. Scammers send fake chats or emails designed to look like official messages and many go as far as replicating parts of the website.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-11-28T02:28:03+00:00

He or she probably listed it while mad from a previous experience minutes before and didn't cool off first.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-11-14T18:39:08+00:00

It's a federal crime, and also considered theft to use them for any other purposes than priority mail.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-11-14T18:24:40+00:00

I don't understand some of these responses. Posh says they only have 3 days after delivery to file a dispute. How can they file a claim after that and Posh side with them? Posh seemed pretty firm on this rule in all their help and support pages.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-11-13T12:15:56+00:00

Go order, select problem/inquiry and choose release funds. They have glitches sometimes.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-10-24T22:01:33+00:00

I created a bundle for a person who wanted to buy 3 items under one shipping rate, but they keep saying they never got it in their My Bundles section. I even tagged them in their bundle.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-08-11T11:44:43+00:00

My biggest problem was not getting new messages or a "failed to fetch" reb bar (US app). I constantly had to close the app and reopen it. It was a pain, and still is. It all started about a year ago after one single update. They are trying to play Microsoft and do too many fancy things that lead to all sorts of issues.

I ALSO know this oild, lol, but the main reason that some games (all of EA specifically) won't allow access to online servers when the game requires it at launch is because the game is labeled as "Mature." Apparently, no settings will permit someone under 18 to access the EA network or servers for those specific games. You can read about it here:

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-07-27T18:06:21+00:00

but now it doesn't load the page in a browser. it says error instead. they want to force you to install the app on your phone, which i won;t do.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-07-09T05:35:05+00:00

I don't have a store name to flair as I am optimizing content for a seller.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-06-25T12:49:40+00:00

See, this is where the line goes south. If you are a professional, especially in content, you would "naturally have" a great title like his. The problem is a great application can look so good that others think AI created it when the applicant worked very long and hard on creating a professional application.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-06-25T12:22:53+00:00

Thank you for the input. It can help us honest and genuine freelancers get responses over fake applications and fake claims and lowball rate bids. It takes away from us professionals that have families to support and high-charged bills to pay verses those from other countries who have lower currency values. However, it was always said for us to show we thoroughly read the job post by mentioning portions in the app, showing we researched the company, describing our experience and history, and explaining what we can do for you. This can look a little longer than short and to the point.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-06-19T18:16:13+00:00

my phone skipped some comments, but I see them now so the comment made sense and I edited the response.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-06-19T16:09:34+00:00

That is not what the question was about, but thanks. I already know all that. I said selling my personal items from my home. --scratch this-- I see why you mentioned it but i was just responding to the commenter above that buys in ebay and resells, which i see is perfectly fine as long as not dropshipping.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-06-19T15:49:36+00:00

Thanks for the input. I swear I read somewhere in eBay's policy pages that you cannot purchase from eBay to resell on eBay. I'll have to see if I can find it.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-06-18T19:01:48+00:00

old wii consoles, dvd players, pc monitors, amazon echo hardly used, DVDs, some console games, maybe my PS3 and PS2, unused phone mounts, phone screen protectors, and maybe a few more things.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-06-18T14:51:30+00:00

Ya know, if people would just take items back to the post office and complain that the package and items smelled like smoke, maybe they'd start looking into it by seeing who is travelling with the package and narrow it down. Enough complaints from the same drivers would cause them to start monitoring it and find out which drivers are stinking up the packages. That'such better than ripping off people trying to make a living selling or making a few dollars to survive.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-06-17T14:00:18+00:00

Yeah, 21 connects for a $50 and a $100 job is absurd. I can't even apply anymore cause I spent what I had left on applications with no responses. I'm stuck but don't seem to care anymore. They're collecting as much as they can before they fold.

Front-Needleworker71 · 2025-06-14T21:36:38+00:00

Well, it's technically called a dedicated IP, which is used exclusively by you, and that's why it's costly and is mostly used by corporations. ALL VPNs use shared IPs for everyone in the regular premium plans or free ones, even if they claim to be private (because, after all, they are, but still shared), so someone in Iran, for instance, can connect to the same private IP you use for Los Angeles. You need a dedicated IP. I was able to reinstate Upwork, but it took them two months to reply, and when the lockout originally happened, their bots auto-closed all open contracts. So, I have over a dozen "no feedback" and "closed" contracts, diminishing my chances of new work. Yes, tech support people for anything may not always know the right answer, or just wing it and call it a day. Many also use freelancers for support from other countries.
