Does Fiverr Charge the Buyer?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 9:03 pm

Fiverr is a great platform for buyers and sellers to connect and do business. But does Fiverr charge the buyer?

The simple answer is no, Fiverr does not charge the buyer. The fees are all paid by the seller. This is one of the things that makes Fiverr so attractive to buyers – they can find quality services at a fraction of the cost of going through a more traditional freelancing platform.

PRO TIP: This is a warning note about the possible charges that Fiverr may place on buyers. It is important to be aware of these charges before using the site, as they can add up quickly.

Fiverr charges a commission of $1 on all transactions, plus a processing fee of 2.9%. There is also a minimum charge of $0.30 per transaction. So, if you’re buying a gig for $5, you’ll actually be paying $6.05.

In addition, Fiverr also charges a ‘service fee’ of $2 on all orders over $40. This fee is used to cover the costs of customer support, site maintenance, and other overhead expenses.

So, if you’re planning on buying a lot of gigs on Fiverr, be aware that the costs can add up quickly. Always check the total cost of your order before finalizing it, to make sure you’re not being charged more than you expected.

Of course, there are some caveats to this. First, while Fiverr does not charge buyers, PayPal or other payment processors may still charge a fee for their services.

Second, some sellers may choose to add a surcharge to their services to cover the costs of using Fiverr. However, these surcharges are generally quite small (usually just a few dollars) and are clearly stated up-front so buyers can make an informed decision about whether to use the service.

Overall, Fiverr is an excellent platform for buyers looking to get high-quality services at a fraction of the cost of traditional freelancing platforms.
