Does Fiverr Need SSN?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 1:26 am

Fiverr is a great platform for freelancers to sell their services. It is also a great way for businesses to find freelancers to outsource work to.

However, there is one major downside to using Fiverr – it does not require sellers to provide their Social Security Number (SSN). This means that there is no way for businesses to verify the identity of the freelancers they are working with. This can lead to serious problems if a business hires a freelancer who turns out to be a scammer or who is not who they say they are.

There have been many reports of businesses being scammed on Fiverr. In some cases, businesses have hired freelancers who have then taken their money and disappeared.

PRO TIP: Fiverr is a marketplace where people can offer their services for “gigs” starting at $5.00.

There have been reports of people being asked for their Social Security Number (SSN) when signing up for Fiverr. It is unclear if this is a legitimate request from Fiverr or if this is a scam. If you are asked for your SSN when signing up for Fiverr, we recommend that you do not provide this information and instead report it to Fiverr customer support.

In other cases, businesses have hired freelancers who have done a poor job or who have not delivered the work they promised. This can be extremely frustrating for businesses, as it can cost them time and money.

So, does Fiverr need SSN? There is no easy answer to this question.

On the one hand, requiring sellers to provide their SSN would help to reduce the number of scams and improve the quality of work on the site. On the other hand, it would likely deter many freelancers from using the site, as they would not want to provide their personal information. Ultimately, it is up to each individual business to decide whether or not they want to use Fiverr, taking into account the risks and benefits involved.
