As a buyer, Fiverr’s marketplace is open for you to purchase any service within the marketplace. However, this does not mean that every type of service is allowed to be offered on Fiverr.
One such service is academic work or homework.
As a seller, Fiverr’s marketplace is open for you to list any creative and productive service that you would like to offer to buyers within the marketplace. However, this does not mean that every type of service is allowed to be offered on Fiverr. Providing services that include academic work or homework, is not allowed.
This article will help you understand what constitutes “homework” and “academic work.” It will also provide you with resources regarding what to do if you encounter a seller who requests that you purchase this barred service from them.
Overview
First things first, as a buyer, please always refrain from requesting that any academic work or homework be done by one of our sellers on your behalf. And as a seller, please always refrain from offering any academic work.
Doing someone else’s academic work, which is most likely to be submitted as the student’s own work, is unethical as it is a direct violation of most schools’ Honor Codes.
Furthermore, it may constitute copyright infringement. Fiverr does not allow this, and other fraudulent activities, and it is not permitted on our platform.
