Don't you think 20% is maybe to much of a cut for fiverr?

[davasbe]

I know fiverr gives us the opportunity to announce our gigs in a community of freelancers but I still think that 1dollar out of 5 is to much. What do you guys think?

Its a lot if you’re getting a single order every so often. If you’re getting lots of orders, then it won’t come off as a big deal.

For me it’s been well worth it. Fiverr gives us the platform to reach thousands of people a day. They do all the website work, accounts payable and received, they do all my marketing (well, for the most part–I still have to share on social media and stuff, which is easy), etc.

No it’s not. The hassle is taking Fiverr to deal with buyers for each order is brutal. Each order requires email responses if the Fiverr staff has to arbitrate. The fee is the last of the problems at hand.

I am ok with the cut to-date; however, not ok with the additional cut upon depositing to PayPal…

[joeyperezwest]

No, because of the marketing and support they give you. 20% is fair! Think of it this way…



Employment Agency Percent= 10%



Website Management = 5%



Customer support service for buying and selling without merchant account besides paypal = 5%



Its typical, plus the buyer fee is put in place to make sure the investors are happy with a return for an ongoing online website company which is todays age is becoming a high risk investment like a restaurant.

Yes it seems high, but as others have said. They do massive advertising. I see their ads constantly on Facebook and all over other places. One add on Facebook would run thousands of dollars per month for worldwide coverage at the display rates they are getting. Well worth 20%.

I think us sellers need to stop thinking about the $5 that the buyer pays and start thinking in terms of the $4 that we actually make (considering you only cash out after you’ve accrued $50), and price our goods/services accordingly. If you feel you are providing too much work for $4, maybe you need to offer less work for those $4 that you actually make. I don’t mean to sound harsh, but you’re in control of your price point, you have to decide how much of your time you’re willing to sell for $4.

Can somebody tell me about http://www.192-168-1-1.us/ .Please help me.

Reply to @webdangol223: Nope. Outside links are not allowed and that one looks sketchy at best.

20% is fair.



You would spend at least 20% on advertising, SEO or PPC to get traffic to your website to get the sales. Not to mention the website costs, hosting, admin. 20% is a fair rate.

It is fiverr which has given us opportunity.

So $1 means nothing !

[logoworld07]

According to me 20% is nothing as if you are creative and do hard work, Fiverr can be a GOLD MINE !!

[Guest unique_ness]

20% is not much
