junaid_ahmad92 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi fiverr team, First of all i would like to thank you for providing a platform for the people to work and earn for the living.I am an electrical engineer and full time freelancer on fiverr. I do projects around 100 to 500 USD but when it comes to 20% commission we are charged 120USD on 600USD. 20% on 5USD are reasonable but please stop charging 20% on big orders.Due to this many people ask the buyers to pay through other means. I consider this as a bad thing, I mean if fiverr is providing a client then it deserves commission that’s why i am writing to you.Please consider this matter seriously. Alot of professional people will come to the fiverr and bussiness will become bigger for firverr, for sellers and for buyers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 20% you get exposure on a site that is top 400 traffic, worldwide. You get customer service people, you get the ability to accept any credit card worldwide, and somehow feel that there is no value provided?How about this, realize that you are getting huge value from fiverr and commit to paying your fair share here.Engineers… 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eoinfinnegan Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Its easy - stop looking at your per order commission and look at everyone’s overall annual income.If you sell 20x$600 jobs = $12000Someone else gets 1200x$10 jobs = $12000You both earn the same and you both pay the same.Simples. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes it easier.We had this discussion many times before and I still think that to worship the 20% cut isn’t any smarter than wanting a 5% cut. The point is that they have to make a profit and aren’t just going for break even. Everybody knows this from the get go and can take it or leave it.Mic drop 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just saying processing for 5$ order and processing for 500$ is same.Fiverr will charge 1$ on the order of 5$ and 100$ on the order of 500$. My point is if they reduce commission to 10% on bigger order then still they will get 50$. That is what i am trying to say.Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for 1200 jobs they need to process bank transaction for 1200 times but for 20 jobs they will process bank transaction for 20 times. I am talking about resources that come into action when order starts.There is huge difference between processing of 1200 jobs and 20 jobs. that’s the point i wanted to say. Charge less on bigger orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
