Sure! I haven't noticed it.

I would love this feature! It would be nice for the clock to not start before all requirements are received.

Exactly! As I can see, the platform is getting many upgrades, so, it may happen as well. 

[The partial refund issue seems to be solved (in a strange way)]

Even though it's not the best solution, it still solves the issue of partial refunds. 

I am wondering if I will ever see "I accept this order" button.

It's available on similar platforms before an order becomes active.

is there any set amount?  

I would say it's different for every sector. 

In my case, it was one of the key factors, and I needed to reach the amount of $35-36 before it happened.

Is Seller Plus a key to becoming a TRS?

It gives you access to some really useful tips from a person, who can see almost everything from Fiverr's side. 

In addition, your manager will be your first contact in case of any unusual situations (they really read what you write). 

On the program page, one of the features is the following:

does it work with tinkoff? which bank did you use?

I can confirm Tinkoff, Russian Standard, and Citibank (they are selling their bank now, so it's not the best option). 

I prefer Russian Standard because they process payments faster than TInkoff and they don't ask stupid questions.

We already have people arrested for blank posters

And this is Moscow today. They check people's phones, and simply arrest them for doing nothing. All of them are accused of "violence against the authority."

All I have left is proof that my account once existed

There's was a couple of links in your gig description, which were the most probable reason for banning. You can appeal by contacting the customer service. 

I don't remember Fiverr banning anyone for nothing.

Russian Standard Bank is also a viable option. 

[Appeal to Micha Kaufman (From Russian Seller)]

I will only add that I was building my profile since 2014, bringing new customers and relying on my Fiverr in many aspects of my life. 5,500+ orders and a lot of new experience. During all these years, I've never taken a single customer out of the platform. 

As I mentioned in a different topic, these sanctions affect educated and modern people, who strive to develop, travel, learn languages and communicate with other countries. These are the most West-oriented people, and they live in big cities. Key electorate won't be affected at all. They are shouting that they don't need Coca-Cola, and McDonald's. Every new sanction makes them happier. 

At the same time, I can't even call the situation in Ukraine with a word that starts with W, ends with R, and has three letters in total. If I do so, it shall be considered "fake", and I may easily spend 15 years in jail. One of my close relatives is already arrested for "violence against a representative of the authority". I'm 99% sure he's going to spend a couple of years in jail for doing nothing (up to 10 years). 

I don't know what else to say. And I'm surprised with this decision because Payoneer was able to find a solution.

What is one to do in this situation?

I am still waiting for an answer about the relocation. But I have no hope because Fiverr is usually very strict about the locations. 

Everything else is clear. Account won't be deleted, but it will be limited (restricted). 

"You will be able to complete any open orders, but you will not be able to gain new orders or communicate outside of the order page." 

Funds will be available as usual (Payoneer is still working as of today). 

[Fiverr Suspends Business in Russia]

And I also have another question. 

Do you offer relocation option for sellers like your main competitor, or we are banned for having Russian passports? 

Payoneer allows changing the country by providing new residency documents. 

[Russian freelancers are not welcome here anymore?]

This is the latest information. Payoneer is working... At least for now. Even for new customers. 

https://community.payoneer.com/en/discussion/79439/payoneer-in-russia

We have made the decision to suspend the ability for new customers in Russia to use Payoneer services as such any new Russian customers signing up to our service will only be able to receive payments from marketplaces.

The funds in your Payoneer account are safe and we continue to serve our existing customers in Russia in line with the limitations imposed by international sanctions on Russian banks. 

 

In other words, it works as a transfer account. You request money from Fiverr, and get them to your bank account. 

All other services violate the current legislation.

Well, it is announced now... And I'm happy that nothing (haha) changed (literally). It's just another motivating story. I was afraid of some dramatic changes 😁

Interestingly, nothing (Yes! Nothing) was posted on this forum about it

[Can someone explain advance pay to me?]

Yeah, this is simple enough for the explanation.

Interest is 13.6% that I am able to calculate. And from each order 40% will be deducted - 20% is their usual fees and 20% is used to repay the loan.

And from each order 40% will be deducted - 20% is their usual fees and 20% is used to repay the loan.

One correction.

They mention “the pre-tax amount”, so 40% will be taken from cleared funds after deducting 20%.

[Can someone explain advance pay to me?]

It could work for people who might not get loan in a bank. :thinking:

It would need to be expensive considering the risk.

It would be much clearer if terms are available.

By the way, there´s ToS update February 2021.

It would need to be expensive considering the risk.

It looks expensive, but everything depends on the situation.

You receive $5,000 now, but you have to return $5,681.

So, Fiverr takes the amount of $681 for this service (~12%).

And every time you receive $100 for an order, Fiverr will cut $40 (40%) until you repay $5,681.

[What happens if an order already delivered gets cancelled by customer support?]

That’s really unfair, but ok. as long as I stick to the fiverr’s terms and condition he can’t make make me cancel the order right? I wont give away my work and one bad review among 60 perfect 5 stars reviews won’t make a big difference so, any tactics to get to an agreement with the buyer or should I just stick to keep sending him new revisions he probably will keep rejecting untill he lose internet connection for 3 days? 😅

In my opinion, you should deliver the last revised file and inform the customer that all further revisions are paid. As I can see, you offer only 1 free revision, so just don’t let them abuse this feature.

And you are totally right about the review. Furthermore, you can always explain the situation by posting a comment under the review.

Lately there’s a huge number of buyers, who want to get free work no matter what.

In the worst case, if CS cancels the order, make sure that you have enough evidence that you delivered everything that was required (screenshots, files and so on). There were some cases when the order was cancelled, but the seller was credited with the money as a courtesy from Fiverr’s side.

[Does revisions affect my delivery time rating?]

It doesn’t affect your ratings.
Seller’s help center clearly says:
Note: The seller is not timed on delivering their revisions.
