That’s a lot because the majority of buyers caring about price not value.

It’s a normal and reasonable service fee. I don’t see anything wrong, I’m sorry. can you imagine all the expenses Fiverr has to manage the platform, the servers and so on? The fee is more than reasonable.

What are the expenses that makes fiverr cut $2.25 upfront from buyer and then again 20% for all offers below $50? What rocket science upper end scientific calculations are their apps doing or what mega terabyte volume of storage are they hosting?

I think their expenses are huge anyway, consider all the data, all the transactions, all the info, all the text, audio, video and so on played at the same time by the customers. I think all of this needs a powerful data center.

All expenses of running a business aside. The Fiverr fee structure has become unethical. I have been a buyer on Fiverr for many years. My most recent two orders included a $50 tip and a $5 tip. The tips are suggested by Fiverr as a percentage of the gig cost. Paying a service fee on any tip is an absolute joke. Let’s remember the idea behind tipping. TIP - To Insure Prompt Service. A tip is not something that should have a service fee! Unfortunately for all my vendors on Fiverr I will be seriously considering NOT tipping. If you are selling on Fiverr make sure your Gig is EXACTLY what you want to make taking into account the terrible fee structure involved. I have been running a design and marketing company for 20 years and all my vendors get paid what they ask for. I don’t tip designers, developers, SEO specialists or any other service provider outside of Fiverr. I feel pressured to TIP based on the Fiverr system and workflow. The service fee has made up my mind. Either 1, I will just not look for vendors on Fiverr anymore or 2, I just won’t tip as I wouldn’t normally anyway. I would hate to not work with vendors on Fiverr but this has become an ethical concern that I will have to seriously consider. My thoughts go out to all hard-working, amazing Fiverr vendors! Good luck.
