re7336 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hi,I want to buy a gig with money I made on Fiverr (still on Fiverr, didn’t withdraw yet) and I’m not sure how. the only options I get are only Paypal or credit card.is it even possible to pay directly through Fiverr? I barely have any money and withdrawing it will make things worse because of all the fees and I might not be able to buy the gig.help? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonthaunt Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 It is possible to pay through Fiverr, as long as you have $5 or more in your balance. Buying gigs can be a smart way to invest your income in your own business to start out. If you’ve accrued $5, you can buy a $5 gig with exactly that amount. If you wanted to buy (for example) a $10 gig, you’d have to ask the seller to give you two custom quotes for $5 each. You would pay for one of those with your Fiverr balance and the other with PayPal or credit card. If you don’t have a full $5 yet, you’ll need to sell another gig to be able to purchase.You are absolutely right that it isn’t usually worth it to withdraw a small amount. If you wait until you have at least $50, I think that’s enough to cap the PayPal fee at $1. Getting up to that the first times can be tough, but try submitting bids on buyer requests or put up a new gig to help pull some attention to your page. Search for forum for ways to self promote as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I make purchase, it is automatic from there.The only other thing I can think of is that your funds haven’t actually cleared yet. Has it been 17 days since you completed the gigs to earn the $8?

It said it should clear on the 24th so I just assumed it already did and didn’t bother to check.but is it 14 days or 17?thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said 17 because if a buyer doesn’t mark it complete, there is 3 days wait for it to autocomplete, so by 17 that covers both scenarios. 🙂No worries, it’s a common confusion at first! You came to the right place for answers. ✅ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newajtamil125 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Fiverr has a service charge of $4 now. So, to buy a $5 gig, you need to spend $9 (Paypal/CC). So, do we need to give Fiverr charge if we buy with the sold gig money? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
