Fiverr is the fastest growing freelancing platform on the internet. The reason behind their success is the trust of their users (buyers) in them. Therefore Fiverr doesn’t compromise the negative review of the seller.

If a seller drops his average rating on his Fiverr profile. Then Fiverr dis-rank his gig and also doesn’t show him buyer requests.
