What do you need to give your address for?

Hi, if you hired a WordPress developer or else like that, so you have to share your WordPress login credentials to do the job completed.

I think its mostly for the W-9 tax things that Fiverr requires for the platform's taxes. It has not shown up anywhere for me so I doubt it will leak.

You can hire different countries' seller. 

Fiverr won't leak it.

In another thread you asked about a service where someone could ship something to you. If it's really needed for the order (eg. because you want someone to ship something to you) you shouldn't do that in a private message but instead do it on the order page.

The terms of service says:

Quote

Any exchange of personal information required for the completion of a service must be provided in the Order Page. Sellers further confirm that whatever information they receive from the Buyer, which is not public domain, shall not be used for any purpose whatsoever other than for the delivery of the work to the Buyer.

Maybe you could create a PO box number and give that if you bought a service that requires an address for sending something to you but you don't want to give the normal address.

Also, might be worth adding that if you (OP) think that the inbox messages between you and Fiverr are private, in the sense of Fiverr won't be able to see them but just your seller, that's not the case. If there are any issues, they'll have to be able to, and will, look into the inbox conversation/"Messages" as well if needed.

And the above is correct, exchange of any contact info (only allowed if needed for a service) has to happen only after an order has been placed, and on the order page.

This is not very clear - which address, for what? Your home address? Is it something about taxes or any of that?
