Can I use my family members’ bank accounts to withdraw my funds

[kianusteve]

I am not a US resident and my bank account (Payoneer) is not working at the moment. Can I use my family members’ paypal account to withdraw my funds if they are US residents? Will I have to pay any tax or additional fee for doing so?

I believe you can only use your own account.

Why would you lie about your location? Obviously Payoneer will try to match your location with the account, and if they are different, that's not ok. Use your own account, if you use someone else's account, that might lead to major issues in the future. You can't just add and remove accounts as you please, pretty sure you can only use your own account and you can't change it. After all, most sites like Payoneer or PayPal just allow you to have one account. So...

You have to realize that the entire story looks sketchy. My Payoneer is not working at all but "conveniently" I have someone in the US that uses another platform which can get the money for me. I am not saying you're lying but the entire story seems sketchy. That being said, if it is true.. ideally you don't want to do that either.

What exactly happened to your Payoneer account? Did it get banned?

[kianusteve]

I had trouble linking my bank account to payoneer. Once I had verified all my credentials and added my account it showed me this.  I tried reaching out to them multiple times but they keep sending me automated responses.

Hello! 

That's a great question. Your intro video should not contain copyrighted audio or a watermark that is not your own. It is important that you make sure you have the rights/permissions for all content you include.

@Kesha is right. You need to license music. But that's not difficult. Many VO artists like me subscribe to legitimate music library services and can license a track for you for not that much money. DM me if you want details. 

[mdabdullahalmam]

You can use it if you have a license. Otherwise, gig will be removed.

Obviously,

A big No for an audio you don’t own 🙂

Let me share my experience with you, anyways.

I published my first gig last week with an audio on it which was not a copy right protected and I carefully chose the one not to infringe anything . When the video popped up after twenty four hours I was embarrassed to know it was a muted one by the Fiverr technical team 😌

But !

In coming two hours afterwards my video had the music !

Don’t know what exactly happened if anyone could enlighten me here .

Was so happy to see that !

A video, especially a fitness workout video, my niche, without a track on it feels like a flower without fragrance !

No, you can't use copyrighted music without permission. Instead, use royalty-free, licensed, or public domain music to avoid copyright issues on Fiverr.

You can withdraw a specific amount of money from Fiverr to Payoneer, rather than the entire balance. I need to retain some funds on Fiverr for advertisements.

NO, you will have to withdraw full amount unless its above $5,000 (as its the upper limit per day).
