timastar Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 So I discussed with the seller the total amount for work. 300$He told me that I pay 50% now and 50% after the work is completed - totally agree.Today he started to tell me about the fiverr fees and that I should pay more. I was like - WHAT?!Fees should not be the concern for buyers. We pay according to the gig amount. We should not care about fiverr fees for sellers. Thats just wrong.Hope the work will go well, because I have a feeling that this is a scam.Can please somebody tell me what should I do if this is going to be a scam?Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanc99 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 look at the seller, see if he’s well rated or not. He might pull the PayPal trick. If the customer is unrated/or has a bad history turn down the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pranavbatra0027 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 You can switch the ‘instructions for buyers’ to optional. This may not help you with present order but will start the countdown as soon as the order is placed in future 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcopywriter Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Why are you buying a $300 order with a seller you hardly know? Test him! Purchase a $5 gig, then $20, $50, etc. The Fiverr fees are irrelevant, everything has fees. Us sellers live with those fees. A $90 order may be $72 after Fiverr’s cut, but so what? We’re still making $72. That’s better than making $0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcopywriter Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Reply to @cyclopx: That’s how Elance works, although sometimes there you get paid half or the full amount or in three parts. Fiverr is different, so establishing trust between buyers and sellers is very important. Basically, when in doubt, buy for less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartgroupvn Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I think that seller don’t estimated about the 20% fee which fiverr will take of him. if he is a newbie on here, we can sympathy with him. You can explain to him about Fiverr’s fee, all of seller will know about it, and if he don’t accept your explain, a mutual cancellation is best measures for this case.
