kingblade9 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Reply to @wegotshoutouts: I’m sorry if you took offense but it’s frustrating sometimes when the same issues are brought up, especially in a category that is supposed to be for a specific and unrelated thing. Even when the repetition I wouldn’t have commented had it been in Chit Chat or FAQ’s or Suggestions. Anyway, it’s a public forum and everyone has equal right to comment. I include you in that although I don’t think it was in the right location. If you prefer not to have comments it might be better to use a private forum or your Facebook page or something that isn’t open to all. Have a good one! Searching through miles of threads can waste lots of time panning through irrelevant stuff. It’s quicker and easier to just post away like on this page, it’s great. If you’re frustrated with threads being out there and people asking without looking at them, you better find a way to get used to it. Have a good one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrilevant stuff is made of posts “just posted away”. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps once you’ve been here long enough to get used to the forum, you’ll find more of the fantastic tools available. You might find that you will be welcomed more if you approach other readers with a nicer attitude, though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eoinfinnegan Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 So why not make this “industry” better than most?!It already is.In many business to business services, invoices are due 14, 30 or 60 days after the work is delivered.And that is only when they are DUE, some businesses take longer to pay and need to be constantly followed up and reminded.With Fiverr, the payment comes without any additional work to chase it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you are making a regular income, after two weeks it doesn’t really make a difference anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcopywriter Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Agree with you 14 days too long at least they should reduce it level wiseAgree with you 14 days too long at least they should reduce it level wiseIronically, it’s more than 14 days for the following reasons.Your client orders something, you deliver in 3 days.Your client forgets to review it so you have to wait 3 days for the ordered to get marked completeYou have to wait 14 days for the money to clear.So it could be 20 days until you see the money, this assumes there are no demands for revisions or extensions.Personally, I like how Lyft does it better. As soon as you make more than $5, you can withdraw it. I don’t withdraw it because I like to withdraw significant amounts, not 12 freaking dollars after driving for 50 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inaram Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 One thing that I don’t like on Fiverr is pending 14 days of clearness, it’s too long. 3 days for delivery + 14 days + 2 days of withdrawing is about 19 - 20 days for one payment. Up work is much better in that way, 5 days is pretty ok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cagricilara Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Just because we’re used to something doesn’t make it right. My brother-in-law is a contractor, he gets paid in 3 to 7 days. Check cashing stores exists because some contractors can’t afford to wait for a check to clear, and would rather get paid immediately.Lyft lets you withdraw your funds anytime you like as long as you pay $0.50.Besides, who benefits from a 14 day waiting period? Not buyers, they can do a PayPal chargeback anytime they want.Top Rated Sellers already get the perks of their own personal section, the pretty golden thing, and the credibility of having been chosen. That’s enough perks as far as I’m concerned, the rest of us deserve to get paid in 7 days just like they do.they can do a PayPal chargeback anytime they want.I think thats why there is 14 days. Of course it will be good 7 days instead of waiting 14 days 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m lucky, some of my colleagues have found themselves with -$500. That’s why I don’t like big orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eoinfinnegan Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 That’s why I don’t like big orders.Do you ever worry that you are missing out on the big orders that will not rip you off?I focus on larger orders mainly.After 1100 orders completed I have had 1 chargeback of $100. That’s all.Anyone who is really, really worried about chargebacks, just take 2% of all earnings and set it aside as your “Bad debt protection fund” which is advisable for any business.This will allow people to expand their business by taking away the paralyzing fear of chargebacks that some people seem to have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
