Five years ago sellers on Fiverr could be from anywhere. Now it seems, a majority are from the Subcontinent where "juggaad" (Hindi for "gaming the system") rules apply. If you get taken, ha ha, it's on you. An interesting phenomenon is the same group acting as brokers for others. So the person you're buying from isn't even the person doing the work. Instead there's talk of a mysterious "team" with anonymous members. Curious how the women are always blond-haired and blue eyed, even if the email address tracks back to Nigeria or somewhere in Uttar Pradesh.
Bad customers can be a real pain. If Fiverr isn't offering support to most of their creators, it might create a great opportunity for another service to spring up and address that issue.
