The short answer is no, you don’t have to use PayPal for Fiverr. You can actually use any major credit or debit card to make payments on Fiverr.

However, PayPal is the only method of payment that allows you to withdraw your earnings from Fiverr. So if you want to cash out your earnings, you will need to have a PayPal account.

Fiverr is a great platform for freelancers to sell their services. You can offer just about any service on Fiverr, from graphic design to video editing to writing.

And there are buyers from all over the world looking for services just like yours.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using Fiverr, be aware that you may be required to use PayPal for payments. PayPal is a secure payment method, but it does have some fees that you should be aware of. Make sure you understand the fees before using PayPal for Fiverr.

When you complete a gig on Fiverr, the buyer has 14 days to leave a review and rating. Once the review period is up, the funds are released from escrow and deposited into your Fiverr account.

From there, you can either withdraw the funds to your bank account or PayPal account, or you can use them to pay for other Fiverr services.

If you choose to withdraw your funds to PayPal, there is a $1 fee for withdrawals under $20 and a 5% fee for withdrawals over $20. So if you withdraw $100, you will actually only receive $95 in your PayPal account.

There is no fee if you choose to withdraw your funds to your bank account, but it may take a few days for the funds to show up in your account.

Conclusion:

So if you’re wondering whether or not you have to use PayPal for Fiverr, the answer is no – but it is the only way to withdraw your earnings from the platform.
