There is no downside to using it. You can pick your own daily budget and max price per click. If you don't want to spend too much you can just lower those numbers. For me it has worked very well.

Can someone who has this subscription please give some more details about the analytics and financial benefits you get? Like for example what exactly is shown on the Keyword Analytics page?

I think he got the answer but that’s just my opinion. Yes, I got the answer. We did get a little sidetracked with so many people wanting to argue with me for some reason. I have no idea why this had to be a tread with 60+ replies lol.

And from the forum community standards: https://www.fiverr.com/community/standards/integrity-authenticity “We do not allow the Infringement of third parties terms of service on Fiverr.” – You did. Payoneer doesn’t allow this. "We define spam on Fiverr as messaging activity that is unwanted, repeatedly occurring and disruptive to the experience of recipients. Spam can take many forms ranging from unwanted offers to commercially-motivated solicitations that aim to drive traffic or attention to websites, products, and services outside of Fiverr." It’s there in black and white. You say you read it but you evidently didn’t read closely enough, did you? In any case, you don’t use a forum to try to sell things. It’s absurd that you think that the forum owes it to you to allow that and that you’re oblivious to how unethical that is. As I have explained earlier my post definitely wasn’t spam. It contained valuable information and was perfect for the “Tips for sellers” category. I did never request that anyone buy something, everything I linked and talked about was free (in fact it would actually save the users money over time). I did not break this rule. Again didn’t break this ToS. My post was not unwanted (as it was a perfectly valid tip for sellers), was not repeatedly occurring as it was only one post, and also not disruptive to the experience at all as it fits perfectly within the kind of tips you would expect to find in this part of the forum. And even if I was somehow breaking this part of the ToS it specifically relates to messaging people, and isn’t relevant for forum posts. I wasn’t trying to sell anything, my only intention was to help out sellers on the plattform and even if they had used my link they still would not have had to purchase anything and would actually be better of than continuing to use PayPal or signing up without using a link. I did specifically say that the important part was to use a referral link, and that it didn’t need to be my link. In my opinion this isn’t unethical at all since all the numbers and facts are there for them to make the decision themselves it is not link I was trying to trick anyone into signing up. I think we can finish this discussion here. I now have an active post that doesn’t contain my link, hopefully this will help some sellers save some money. We both got what we wanted in the end.

I mean surly context matters? I was simply quoting my previous post to show that I did in fact disclose all affiliation in my original post. I wasn’t suggesting that anyone click on the link.

This is not true, my original post said this: as you can see I was very clear about it being my link and that I would get $25, I also specifically said that although it is recommended to use a link it doesn’t have to be mine. You can read the ToS for this referral program here: https://www.payoneer.com/partners/raf-terms-of-use/ And the way I see it I have not broken these ToS, neither have I broken any Fiverr ToS that I know about. I always read ToS agreements before agreeing, but it seems like most people don’t since they keep claiming that I have broken it without being able to show me the part of the agreement that has been broken. Who keeps flagging my posts as spam?

If a mod removed that link, then, no matter what you think of that promotional link, it was inappropriate according to the forum rules. It might have been inappropriate according to some vaguely written rules, but it definitely wasn’t spam.

I reposted it without my link. In my opinion the original was not anymore spam than this one, and if anything the new post makes it more difficult for readers to get the information they need as they will now have to google and try to find a link.

Saving other people money by signing up through your referral link that makes you money. Yes. That is spam. The person signing up also gets $25 that is why they should use a referral link. I repost my original post without the referral link, but I will still be recommending that users sign up using a referral link to get that free money.

The purpose of the post was to help sellers, that is why I made a edit remove the link and suggest that people google for a referral link instead. It is only natural give people the possibility to get $25 for free in a post that is literally about getting the most amount of money possible with the tools given to us. The referral link was very relevant and definitely beneficial to anyone reading the post. Would you be more comfortable if I included a random referral link from google instead of my own?

It takes literally 5 min to set up a new withdrawal method and it could save sellers with my volume of sales hundreds of dollars. The best selling sellers could save thousands of dollars every year. That is definitely worth 5 min, and I think people should have the needed information to make this choice. I can’t speak for you or anyone else, but I am personally very happy about having spent 5 min to earn hundreds or dollars extra per year.

If you type “paypal or payoneer” in the search bar above there are numerous posts to help people decide what is best for them. This was a sales pitch building up to a referral link which was of benefit to you. The included referral link was mostly to make sure the users had all the information easily available to them. A lot more convenient than having to google a link. Would it be okay to include a random referral link instead you of my own? That certainly wouldn’t be self promotion.

Fees can depend on how you got a Payoneer account, whether through Fiverr, through another platform, through someone’s referral link… It’s not on Fiverr to post information about all the possible ways to get a Payoneer account (especially if some of them are related to their competitors). It’s not your decision, though. And mods can remove any post for any reason. Why being so obsessed about random strangers getting $25 (or not)? The whole point of the post was to give some helpful tips to save sellers money, it is only natural to include the part where they can get $25 for free. Especially since they lose that possibly forever if they sign up without it. People deserve to know.

Sorry but it does break the rules. We can’t post our own links that promote something such as signing up for anything no matter how helpful you think they are. This would become one big advertising forum if that was allowed with everyone posting all sorts of links to sign up for things. It is not the purpose of the forum. Ok, so I guess I should just suggest that users google a referral link before signing up to get the bonus then?

If I had used Payoneer from the very start I would be about $400 richer. I would call that a pretty significant difference.

I guess it falls under this: Or this: Additionally, sharing personal contact information is a violation of Fiverr’s Terms of Service, and your referral link might fall under that. And there’s always this: Posting a referral link that is beneficial to the reader and definitely relevant to the post doesn’t break these rules in my opinion. It doesn’t contain identifying information about me either. Depends on how you interpret the rules I guess, but if there aren’t any other rules than the ones you quoted I don’t really see what was wrong with the post.

Sure, I could do that. However a lot of information is lost by writing it this way. My post was made to include all the numbers and information needed to make it easier for sellers to decide if they should make the switch. An important point from that post is also that Fiverr actually gives the wrong information about fees involved and if I leave it up to the readers of the post to do the research there is a good chance that they will make the wrong choice because of this misinformation. It would also be a waste to not get the $25 referral bonus when signing up. I didn’t know about this when first signing up and therefore I lost the $25 I would have gotten for free if I used a referral link. I’m not saying that people should use my link, but they should definitely us someones link. Because of this I think my original post is more beneficial to readers than your suggestions.

Posting a referral link to their Payoneer account. I understand that this is what I was doing wrong, but could you please tell me where it says that this is a violation of the rules? I shouldn’t have to guess what the rules are, and I can’t seem to find anything about this in Fiverr ToS or the community guidelines. Thank you.

So that would mean I can post something similar without the referral link? Could you also please let me know where in the ToS this is specified? I can’t remember reading about this and couldn’t seem to find it anywhere in the ToS. @wp_kid Did you get this?

But I edited it to remove the link before it was removed. I think that post would be very useful for Fiverr sellers.

Is there somewhere I can directly message the mods? Edit: Thank you for your feedback, I have now reposted the post in question (hopefully) without breaking any rules: Non-US sellers currently using PayPal for withdrawal can save a lot of money from reading this! Although I never really found out where it says that I can’t include referral links.
