agwakash Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hello Indian Fiverrers,I was reviewing my pay out method and looking forward to know what you guys prefer.I always used to use PayPal but thinking to shift to Bank Transfer now.Here’s a rough calculation that made me think about trying Bank Transfer. Let me know if I am short of knowledge about this.Let’s take $1000 payout as example:1) PayPal option:Fiverr to PayPal ($1000 - $1 = $999) transferred to PayPal = $999Less: PayPal receiving charges: 4.4% Flat + $0.30 = ($44.26)Not deducted on Fiverr withdrawalNet amount received in PayPal = $999PayPal to Bank ($999 @ 61.84/-) = INR 61778.162) Bank Transfer Option:Fiverr to Payoneer ($1000 - $3 = $1000) transfered to Payoneer = $1000* Less: Payoneer withdraw charges: 2% on total amount = $19.94Not applicable to Indian sellersNet USD transfered = $1000 @ 62 (approx) = INR 62,000.00Net benefit = INR 200 (approx)So, only difference is of $1 and small exchange rate differenceIs there any other hidden charges I am missing out? 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanverma96 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Indian sellers using PayPal to withdraw money from fiverr are at loss.Payoneer is free for India and there are no charges for withdrawal through it. The information provided on fiverr website about 3$ per transaction does not apply to sellers in India.Your PayPal calculations look more or less accurate, I don’t use it for fiverr but clients with whom I work directly, the charges are as you said. Below is an image which shows the net amount I received on 20$ withdrawal.This below image is for fiverr withdrawal through Payoneer - Withdrawal amount was 960$PayPal is a bad idea for Indian sellers due to always low conversion rate than Payoneer. The transactions are also a lot faster for Payoneer.The only disadvantage for Payoneer is when you work with clients directly. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigvee Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Payoneer Gives 3 Bank Accounts adding for one ProfileIn my case they are not allowing to add more than 1, saying if you need to add other account, remove the existing first. May be a new account that’s why … 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
