If there’s a market for that and it pays well, it will cease to be low competition fast.

If it’s low competition and easy, it is either: Not profitable at allGuaranteed to be high competition immediately once people find it.It’s basic market economics, supply and demand. If it’s easy and profitable, everyone and their mother will be doing it.

It’s strange…I have this symbol like in the picture I attached. As I clicked on that it shows me a menu with tha ability to switch to the darkmode. I’m using chrome, btw I have no icon, neither on Chrome nor Safari. Not that I would use chrome just because of it. This should be available on all major browsers.

What tiny human icon? Screenshot 2020-10-29 at 18.16.512074×1312 183 KB

An account is disabled after 3 strikes, usually. Failing to respond to a client does not lead to an account suspension, only a hit to stats. If Fiverr asks for identity verification and you don’t do it, then the account can be removed, regardless of any strikes or disputes, it has nothing to do with it. If you failed to verify when asked, you will not get the account back.

If it has been disabled since march, you ain’t getting it back. Why was it disabled?

“I will do 3d character modeling For only $ 5 and a good rating” This is against TOS, you will be banned. Can’t ask for reviews or ratings.

I think it’s the same (2.5%). I just prefer to do it on Paypal because there I can choose the timing to convert when the dollar is strong.

I’m in europe, and I get the money to Paypal in USD. What I can’t do is get the money out of Paypal in USD, so I’m stuck with their conversion fee.

Sure, and the point is it will lead nowhere if they don’t have multiple accounts. Which is what matters. Let them investigate all they want, if each person can prove they are the owners of their account, nothing should happen.

But that’s not through IP. First of all, the ip won’t give you the exact location, just the general area. Second of all, if they did that nobody would be able to work on Fiverr if they lived with someone else who already worked on Fiverr. Say students, in a student dorm, with possibly hundreds of people living there. Only one can work on Fiverr, the rest are screwed. That’s insane. If you are running multiple accounts by yourself, there will be other signs, and that’s what they will catch. For instance, you won’t be able to be logged in and relying to people on both at the same time, you’ll have to keep switching. Even if you keep both open on different browsers, you’ll have to keep switching your attention back and forth, no human can do two things at once lol.

Again, that makes no sense. What if I work every day from 9-5 on a co-working space, sharing my IP with dozens of others who are there at the same time? What if I work from my university, fast internet shared by thousands of people, some of which may also be working on Fiverr? What if I live in a complex with one internet service for hundreds of people? What then? All banned? It’s ridiculous. In any case, multiple accounts are a problem if you are doing shady business. If you do everything correctly (including having only one account), Fiverr won’t even care to check the IP. If you try to run multiple accounts to get an advantage, then you’ll eventually be investigated if any problems arise.

All the people on the forums advising against this have no idea what they’re talking about. And I’m willing to bet everyone who says you can’t do it, has done it in the past - if you have the mobile app installed, it’s almost certain you have been connected with your mobile phone to a wi-fi with others using Fiverr as well. Impossible to avoid. What if you work out of a coffeeshop/co-working space, where everyone shares the same IP? What if some other people there also work on Fiverr and are logged on, something you have no way to even know? What if your neighbour connects to your home wi-fi without your knowledge and also sells on Fiverr? What then? All banned? Please. The rule is simple and clear - 1 account per person. That’s it. Each person can have one account. Fiverr enforces this by demanding proof of identity when you create an account. IP is meaningless, field of work is meaningless, etc. - unless you are doing something shady. If you draw suspicion that you may be running multiple accounts, than that data can be useful. If you play by the rules and only have one account, it’s fine.

Yes, it’s 20%. Total rip-off.

Yeah, that’s a way different culture. When I go to a restaurant and the server does all that, they get a salary for it. If I’m inclined to do so, if I love the service, I may leave a tip, but that’s completely at my discretion. He’s just doing his job. If I order something from a freelancer and he bumps me up in the order queue, he delivers way sooner than expected, he goes above and beyond, he deserves a tip way more than a server that is just doing his job. Also, a server constantly checking on me is a good way to get me annoyed. I’ll call you when I need you, leave me alone otherwise. It’s intrusive.

If a pizza delivery person is not happy with his base salary, go do something else that pays better. Just like a freelancer. Depending on tips is not a good method regardless of profession.

Same deal. Fiverr should take no commission on a bonus.

Here it’s cash as well. But all cash you receive is taxable. The thing is, you have to declare it. It’s illegal not to do so. But it’s near impossible to get caught.

I don’t know how it works where you’re from. Where I’m from, all earnings are taxable, including tips. And a bonus doesn’t cost more to give than a tip. It’s all the same. Well, there’s a difference - tips are “under the table”, so you can not declare them. It’s illegal, but impossible to fiscalize.

Bonus are taxable by the state. Not by the company. Fiverr is not a state, it can’t tax anything.

Agreed with the wording being wrong, and agreed with the fee on tips being unfair. With that said, it’s nice to get tips. I’m not part of the tipping culture, but I don’t see how a freelancer is less deserving of a tip than the guy who gets me my pizza. Our work demands more skill, better communication and client handling, etc.

Everyone here is a seller. Buyers very rarely have a need for the forums.

Paypal is the cheapest option. You pay a 2.5% exchange fee. The only way around it, that I know of, would be to get in touch with somebody with an american Paypal account, send them the money in USD, have them get it on transfer wise or similar, exchange it there, and send you in euro. That way you avoid the 2.5% PayPal exchange fee. On a euro PayPal account they don’t allow you to get money out in USD, just to be able to rob you, plain and simple.

No, he can’t. There’s literally a screenshot of a message from Fiverr in this thread saying he can’t. Can you read, or do you just like to post false information on stuff you clearly know nothing about?

Fiverr is an Israeli company (at least originally). That should answer your question…
