I'm a pro seller and I just got the communication about DAC7, which affects tax reporting of year 2023, 

I'm really disappointed at Fiverr and the fact that they let us know just now, after the year has ended, instead of warning at the beginning of the year, explaining exactly what will they report to tax authorities. 

This matter has not been well-regulated until now,

 and I'm sure that there are a lot of seller (and their accountant) that don't even know how to declare these incomes exactly. 

Whether it's required to report after every sale, every month, every quarter, or annually.

I checked the emails from Fiverr during the past year, not a clue about DAC7. 

So now, not only do they charge the highest commissions in the market (20%, the double of any other marketplace as far as I know, like Upwork etc.) but they expose us to risks of sanctions with no warning. Between exchange rates, their commission, taxes, unexpected events like this, working here is becoming quite pointless, you may end up with less than 50% of what seller pay! 

To be honest I fell treated like a milking cow and nothing like a valuable asset. 

Am I the only one who thinks this? come on community speak up! 

DAC7, why do they let sellers know just now!?
