My First (and probably last), experience with fiverr.com

So the idea here is that you have people that will do work for "5 bucks". The reality is, it starts at five bucks and goes up. But, thats ok really, its still somewhat cheap for the most part. But basically you want a logo, or something like that designed, you go there, choose someone based on their work/feedback and get something done.

So, 5 bucks, what the hell. Hell is right...

So, I gave a reference example of what I was looking for. What I got, was actually good quality, but basically a design/image taken from elsewhere (I found almost exact material online). I stated this to the person, and below is my conversation.

My Initial Post of what I wanted:

1 company name which include in your logo.
2 Tagline/slogan if require.
3 Which Font and color used in your logo.
4 Any sample (must send)
5 Brief discreption of you business.

1: NA
2: NA
3: Black
4: http://previews.123rf.com/images/cattallina/cattallina1408/cattallina140800018/30828828-black-panther-design-element-sitting-big-cat-vector-outline-Stock-Vector.jpg
5: For the Conan the Barbarian game, I'm looking for an aggressive panther image

I'm looking for something more original in design.

The quality is good, but the pose is too standard, you can see the obvious similarities here: http://www.freetattoodesigns.org/images/tattoo-gallery/old-school-black-panther.jpg

Possibly an image of a cats eye?

So finally, I was just done with it, called it a loss and put in my review:

Me added 11 minutes ago
After the order I was given the first draft, in which I was asked to tip generously and leave a good review. After I suggested some changes, I was told that I needed to pay more. Always pressuring for more money, more money. What I got was almost identical to images I found on the web with some changes, I even said that. Was told to pay more.

Communication: 3
Service as Described: 2
Buy again/recommend: 1

And then... the flood of responses started:

emilymoony2

i AM POOR PLEASE SEND ME GOOD REVIEW PLEASE,i am poor please please give me good full star review i am poor , i will be thankful to you for this kindness ,please you are going order page then send me good review please pleaseplease please please please


So to recap, here is what I gave as reference:
http://previews.123rf.com/images/cattallina/cattallina1408/cattallina140800018/30828828-black-panther-design-element-sitting-big-cat-vector-outline-Stock-Vector.jpg

Here is what was delivered
aggressive_1.jpg
Here is what I found searching the internet
http://www.freetattoodesigns.org/images/tattoo-gallery/old-school-black-panther.jpg

And now the guy is disputing my review... for this reason:

"i am poor please please give me good full star review i am poor , i will be thankful to you for this kindness please please please please"

The cost was way more than 5 bucks in my time and annoyance. I still think the service can be good, but I'll have to do a better job pre-screening someone next time (if there is a next time).

Holy shit, dude! The guy literally ripped a picture off Google images and asked you for more money to do more than that? Now they're harassing you?

There must be a way to report them to Fiverr. That's crazy!!

I've never used Fiverr but it was just recently in the News because Pewdiepie posted some videos asking people to do some crazy shit through there, and then he ended up getting himself and them banned from being able to use the site again.

The fact that it was that troll-able, and there are people that desperate for Five bucks scared me away from looking into it haha Yipes.

I appreciate the post. I shall stay away...
