I am not new to Fiverr but have hardly used the platform since joining over a year ago. 

I have recently engaged a freelancer to purchase his services. He is suggesting I have 2 ways to pay, one via Fiverr and then another with a part-payment on Fiverr and the rest on an external link. The external link / part-pay option being a cheaper alternative. He's pointed out that I'd be "saving 20% fiverr tax". 

He's also using phrases like "P-ay" instead of "Pay", which I guess is to avoid any kind of Fiverr monitoring. 

All feels a bit suspicious. The guy has a ton of reviews (100+) and the service looks good on the description.
