Reporting content or behavior on Fiverr

We value every member of our community and aim to create a respectful, inclusive, and safe space for all. If you encounter any problematic content that violates Fiverr’s Community Standards, we encourage you to report it so we can keep the platform secure.

Overview

This feature allows you to flag specific content that doesn't belong on Fiverr. You can report messages, Gigs, video calls, or briefs that may violate our policies.

You can also report individual attachments within a freelancer's Portfolio projects and Work Samples in Live Portfolio.

• What the feature does: Sends specific content to our Trust & Safety team for manual review.
• Why it's useful: Helps maintain a professional environment and protects users from scams, harassment, or inappropriate content.
• Who it’s for: All Fiverr users, including freelancers and clients.

Important: Reporting tools are for policy violations only. They cannot be used for order disputes or dissatisfaction with services. For help with orders, please contact Customer Support.

Before you begin

• To report content, you must be a registered, email-verified Fiverr user. If not, you'll be prompted to complete those steps before your report can be submitted. Exception: EU residents may report certain serious violations confidentially without logging in.
• You can report Gigs, messages, Zoom calls and briefs, but you cannot report a user's entire profile at once.
• You can also report individual portfolio attachments and Work Samples in Live Portfolio. This feature is currently available on desktop (web) only — mobile is not yet supported.
• Reporting is available on both desktop and the Fiverr mobile app.
• Misuse of reporting tools, such as submitting false reports, can lead to account sanctions.

• If the Report option isn't visible, check the following:

  • You're not logged in. You must be signed into your Fiverr account to report content. Log in and try again.
  • The page needs a refresh. Try reloading the page or clearing your browser cache. If the button still doesn't appear, try a different browser.
  • If none of the above resolves the issue: contact Customer Support and include the URL of the content you want to report. An agent can help log the report on your behalf.

What happens after you submit a report?

When you submit a report, Fiverr’s Trust & Safety team manually reviews it against our policies.

• If a violation is found: We will take appropriate action, which may include removing content or issuing account sanctions to the user.
• If no violation is found: No action will be taken.

Review timelines

Reports are reviewed manually. You will receive an email notification once a verdict has been issued. You do not need to follow up while your report is under review.

If you submitted a report and have not received any response after an extended period, contact Customer Support and reference your Report ID (included in your confirmation email). This allows the support team to locate your case and provide a status update.

Enforcement actions

Depending on the severity and nature of the violation, Fiverr may take one or more of the following actions against the reported account:

• Content removal (Gig, message, portfolio project, or Work Sample)
• Account warning
• Temporary account suspension
• Permanent account suspension

How to appeal a decision

Whether you submitted a report or your account was the one reported, you have the right to appeal our decision within 6 months.

To submit an appeal

1. Contact Customer Support using your account's registered email.
2. Provide the Report ID (found in your email confirmation) or the Support Ticket number where you originally submitted the report.
3. Explain why you believe the decision should be overturned.

We do not accept evidence from third-party platforms (like screenshots of conversations outside of Fiverr) during the appeal process.

Appeals outcomes

• If your appeal is successful, we will restore your content and remove any warnings from your account. If your account was suspended, we will reinstate it.
• If you reported content and the decision changes after an appeal, we will notify both you and the account holder.
• If your appeal is not successful, the original decision will be final and cannot be appealed again on Fiverr.

Reporting and privacy

Unless required by law, the individual being reported will not be informed of who submitted the report.

Reporting for EU residents

In accordance with EU laws, you have specific options when reporting serious violations such as child sexual abuse material (CSAM), human trafficking, or adult content.

• Confidentiality: You can choose to keep your report confidential when reporting these specific categories.
• Investigation: Our team thoroughly investigates every report. You will receive a personal response regarding the outcome of our review.
• Appeals: If you disagree with a decision, you can appeal as described above.

Intimate Content Reports

Intimate images and videos are not permitted on Fiverr. 

Fiverr complies with the TAKE IT DOWN Act and has policies and mechanisms in place to review and remove reported non-consensual intimate images or videos. 

Fiverr's standards go beyond what's legally required under the TAKE IT DOWN Act - content may be removed under our own policies even if it doesn't meet the legal threshold for removal.

If you've encountered content of this kind - including non-consensual intimate imagery - you can report it for removal. A Fiverr account is not required to submit a TAKE IT DOWN Act removal request. Fiverr reviews these reports promptly and removes content that violates our policies and applicable law within 48 hours of receiving a valid request

How we define misuse of reporting tools

We take action against content and accounts that breach our policies. However, the integrity of our platform depends on honest reporting. Before submitting a report, you will see a disclaimer outlining appropriate use.

Misusing these tools - especially by falsely categorizing reports as CSAM, sexual exploitation, or terrorism or similar - undermines safety efforts. In these cases, the report will not be processed, and the reporter account may face permanent suspension.
