Prices and payment (and commissions)
On Fiverr, prices are set per project. There are no hourly rates available. That means that buyers know upfront what they will be paying for the service they are hiring. Once the job is done and the buyer is satisfied and approves the delivery, the payment for the seller is released.
Fiverr works with several payment methods to make it easier for sellers to charge for their work. Transfers for services provided can be done through the following means: PayPal, Fiverr Revenue Card, Bank Transfer, Direct Deposit, and Payoneer Account. It is important to highlight that some options mentioned may not be available depending on the seller’s location. Another thing to take into account is the commissions. Fiverr keeps between 5% and 20% of the final price paid for the service provided. The commission varies depending on the job and the level of the seller.
