[So....Fiverr Taking Their 20% Cut On Tips....Let's Talk About That.]

There are many deterrents to tipping ... such as the spammy reminders to tip. As a buyer, I just tipped a seller 50% of the order after receiving the first automatic tip reminder. Not too long after I left the tip, I received the second "It's customary to tip" reminder to tip this seller again. So even if you tip, you aren't spared from the tip reminders.

As a seller, I've had buyers from non-tipping countries get mad or confused when they get the tip reminders because they think it's coming from me. I wish there was an opt out option for sellers and/or buyers to select for tip reminders.

Hello and thank you for posting this. I'm a buyer on Fiverr and I have ordered many gigs from here, but I am very unhappy with Fiverr's tipping strategy. For instance, I have a seller who puts my images on a white background to sell on Amazon and I generally pay him 5.00 per image. But when I get the notification to tip the seller, it only gives me 3 options to pay and one option to select my own tip amount (CA$7.14CA$14.28CA$21.42). When I go to select my own tipping amount, it tells me that I cannot tip below 7.14. Why would I have to tip the seller a higher amount than what the gig cost me? This is a money gouging practice and if this continues, I will find other gigs from another website. Fiverr needs to stop this practice!!
