Some gigs have a minimum less than $15?

[aiprintstudio]

Good day. I have started a gig on the Graphic Design - AI generated - Section of Fiverr. Whilst setting up I noticed that the minimum order is $15 for Basic. Don't get me wrong, I think this is fantastic, the minimum order should be higher than $5.

Where I am confused is that other gigs open have a minimum of $8, I will most likely never be successful if my competition gets to sell at roughly half price.

Question 1# - Is the reasoning for this because they've had their gigs open before the minimum increase? Or am I missing something?

Question 2# - What am I missing? Is it possible for me to post a gig for less than $15 to compete?

No gigs have a min of $8 as far as I know, since gigs have to be a multiple of $5 currently.

Yes it seems like it. The gigs in that category seem to be older than 30 days since none in the "new gigs" section are <$15.

Not in that category. Though you could compete on things other than price (like quality of content, what & how much you'll deliver),

Indeed, but you can make a custom order of $8.
