nickrey Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 You can’t. There’s no way to do it.Well, that is the most idiotic, ridiculous policy fiverr has. Literally the only company on the planet that doesn’t want to take our money.Hey FIVERR please read this and tape it to the wall in your CEO’s office.I suggest we all move to another service.

smashradio Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 And why would you want to pre-fund your account? You can just as easly use Paypal or your Credit card when ordering a service, and I see no point in what you’re suggesting. You seem very angry about this. Can you explain why exactly you feel this is such an important feature to have? Considering you’d leave the platform because of this, it must be a mission-critital feature for you to have.

If I want to buy something from Amazon, I don’t pre-fund my account, and they’re doing pretty well.In fact I can’t think of any website I use where it’s an option?

catwriter Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Possibly, but if 50 cent is the problem this whole thing is ridiculous in my opinion.It’s $1 at least. If he orders 100 $5 gigs, he pays additional $100 in the processing fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he orders 100 $5 gigs, he pays additional $100 in the processing fees.I’m inclined to think that Fiverr still would charge the same amount if they had pre-funding as an option. But it’s all speculation at this point. I’m just curious to find out why the OP feels so strongly about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoinfinnegan Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 If you set up a team account you can make it work.Fiverr Forum Why every buyer should have a Team AccountAre you a buyer, that is a buyer only and not a seller, also? If so, you may want to consider opening a Team Account. This is by far one of the best features 5r has implemented to help any and all buyers, from the occasional to the frequent. When...

I’m just curious to find out why the OP feels so strongly about this.I use team account at $100 at a time$100 + 5% processing fee = $105.00.I can buy up to 20 - $5.00 gigs & gratuity without paying another fee.I save $15.Every transaction = fee; including the tip that is given at end of order.I have a business, I just finished doing my spreadsheet from last year - like 5 minutes ago (coincidence). Without team account, I would have have paid additional $200 in transaction fees. I can see the OP’s point.Nickrey - Create a team account, you’ll save lots of money if you do transactions in small amounts or have a business and need others to buy from your account.

Unlike your username, you can change your Team Account name later on.It’s been awhile since I’ve set up my Team Account, so things may have changed, but it may send you a confirmation after you give it a name.

kosytedy Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 And why would you want to pre-fund your account?

Can you explain why exactly you feel this is such an important feature to have? Considering you’d leave the platform because of this, it must be a mission-critital feature for you to have.Hey!In my case, I accepted an order of $100 and then the seller couldn’t work on it and then cancelled the order and $100 refunded to my balance. Afterwards, I found another seller to work on it, but on a higher charge ($120). I couldn’t find a way to fund my account with $20 to complete the order with the new seller.What do I do in this case?I tried a way that is very inconvenient which is telling the seller to create two separate orders of $100 and $20 (of which I was charged processing fee for both).So, there’s actually a use case and Fiverr should look at it and consider allowing account funding, in my honest opinion.
