everybodydance Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Hi,I’ve been happily using fiverr for several years as a buyer. I always like the option to tip my seller for work well done. Now, all of a sudden, I’m charged an additional fee from fiverr when I tip my seller. This is ridiculous and is a deterrent to people tipping. Is there any way around this???

nikavoice Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I totally agree with you here. :ok_hand:t4:I ❤️ tipping Sellers for a job well done.Recently, the added fee to tip on top of the order fee is just silly.It’s like milking the cash 🐄 over and over again.I’m not happy! 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t get any good suggestions from them. 😦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the seller accepts it, they will definitely get banned. Anything financial being done outside of Fiverr is strictly forbidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everybodydance Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 WOW, that totally sucks!I can see if I know the Seller, I can pay them extra money up front. But if they are a new one to me, I might not want to tip them in advance.Not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will make buyers think twice if they want to tip a seller and if s/he worth it.If you use someone regularly, you can add a tip up front to the next orderIt is a solution, but the all point of tipping someone is to give them the feedback of doing a great job. Here’ it’s just an assumption, even if it’s a regular costumer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had placed a few orders in a row and the last one was for $25, but I didn’t want to make that $55, so I sent a custom offer for $40 instead. I probably did myself out of some money, so its my own fault, but it felt yukky adding the tip onto the order. MUCH easier to tip at the end - with the normal 20% fee, not the additional fee on top… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisdata Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 This is so wrong, fiverr need to correct this, who thought of this idea & actually dare to implement it really is greed till a level of insane stupidness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhammad_osman Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 This is too much greedy. They are already charging $2 for fee transactions on each order and then again charging on TIPS. Fiverr is becoming too much stupid platform day by day. Why they don’t just say the sellers and buyers to leave this platform as we are going to terminate it instead of making stupid changes daily and hurting both sellers and buyers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not “terminating” this platform. I don’t like all of the changes either, but complaining about them won’t help you become a better seller. Take action, and find ways to work within the rules. If those rules change later on, great. If not, work with what you have, and build your business within the current rules.
