is FIVERR a scam? will they scam me out of my money?


Question Posted Monday August 30 2010, 6:50 pm

I found this online thing where you can post ads for what you'll do for $5. I am totally down for that because I NEED MORE MONEY. I think I can do a lot of things on the Fiverr site thing but I'm afraid it's a scam and they'll like take money from me or not pay me right or something. Is Fiverr a scam or no? I only wanna do safe online work where i will really get paid. it's just www.fiverr.com

I recently used Fiverr to do some work myself. I did 15 minutes of any audio transcription for $5. The truth is that Fiverr is NOT a scam and they're not going to ask money from you but they do request a small percentage of your $5 profit.

Fiverr has to cover the costs of PayPal (how you'll get paid through Fiverr) so they do take $1 of your earnings. That isn't too big of a deal, depending on what you are doing for the $5 to begin with really. Just think of it was Fourr instead ;) You really get only $4 for whatever it is that you choose to do for others.

Other than that, it costs nothing to open your account or post your ads. As long as your postings are not adult-theme (sexual) you are pretty much good to go. Everything is so instant that you could, literally, begin work 5 minutes after signing-up and posting your information.

You have to complete the job tasks at a set-time though; however, you choose the time range. If you don't complete a task then you aren't paid--but they're not going to take money from you.

Go for it. :)

And, plus, there are LOTS to buy on there if you check it out. Look through some listings before posting because they will give you WONDERFUL ideas on what sells and what just doesn't. The more active gigs you have available, the more chances you have at landing work.
