    I used it once. The guy never did what i paid him to do, and when i brought the matter up with Fiverr, they said they could do nothing.

    I used it once to get Dropbox space increased. Guy did it within the hour. Think you can see people's feedback, just go with high feedback.

    You don't have much to loose, do ya? It's only a fiver. If he fixes it, which I expect he will, you get a bargain, if not, a fiver isn't the end of the world.
    My experience with the site isn't good. The level of English most users have makes getting things done quite difficult.

    What do you expect with a website that spells fiver with an extra r!! ;)

    I had a couple of logos designed for me. All of the people delivered within the timeframe they said they would but the quality wasn't that great. All of them ignored what I asked them to do (colours, font types etc) and chose their own instead.

    But as the above says it only a fiver (4 euro at the time) so I won't be losing any sleep over it.

    Not personally but the quality of work on offer seems far superior. But so are the prices.

    I've used fiverr dozens of times. Brilliant site. Occasionally someone does not perform but you can get your money back - usually its incredible value...

    I've used it many times, but mostly got crap out of it.

    Never trust anyone on jobs like this. Especially if you cannot trace them down easily.
    PM me with info what you need done, I'll do it for free with no access to your files (if possible).

    Hi,

    I've posted a link below to the issue I am having. It's a minor one to do with WordPress and Instapaper/Pocket but it's an annoyance all the same.
