destinyrose Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I really am happy that the site does the tip thing however, I think we should be able to keep our tips that we earn. I just made level 2 seller and it was hard work. I recieved quite a few tips but the tips are because of my time and dedication I think we should be able to keep all of the tips because we earn them ourselves. Any thoughts on this?

destinyrose Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 I notice that people are looking but no one is replying why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoinfinnegan Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 This question is asked at least once per week which is why it is not attracting comments.Fiverr earns the fee being charged on your tips because of their “time and dedication”. No Fiverr - No Tips… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I am happy to get 80% from a tip. When I started the feature didn’t exist so this has been great since it allows you to get extra money. Realistically I don’t think it would work with the bookkeeping to separate the tips from income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidlettuce Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 what @annai80 said.Honestly, it’s about the same as saying to your friend. “I think we pay to much in taxes.”-Your friend will nod, politely agreeing, but it won’t make the tax go away.

destinyrose Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 I understand your point of view but as a waitress I got to keep my tips because I earned them through my going over the top with customer service which is what brought customers back, which is what made the resturant more money repeat customers come from the dedication of the individual giving the service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

destinyrose Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Mine is not free money - I do honest work every day 8 hours per day on the site though yours may be if you keep giving the same info over and over and not being personal and caring of your clients Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoinfinnegan Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Because if it was done like that then all sales could be $5 and the rest could be given in tips.Fiverr would not get what they are due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonthaunt Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I think that response was about tips, which means it technically is free money. Tips are normally given after you’ve done the work and aren’t part of your pay for your honest work. It’s great that you work hard.@eoinfinnegan tried to explain that there was another reason for the commission on tips and perhaps that should be reiterated. Not all sellers do honest work like you do. Some really are willing to scam people. If tips had no commissions, those dishonest sellers would abuse it. If a buyer wanted a quote for $10 of work, the seller could suggest that the buyer just pay $5 up front and then give $5 as a tip. Most buyers would like paying partial up front instead of the full amount. However, if tips weren’t under commission, Fiverr would lose their commission on half of the gig.That’s not fair to Fiverr or to honest sellers. Eventually it would result in there being no tips allowed. No tips = no extra money whether you call it free money or not. I would rather have a $4 tip and let Fiverr keep $1 than no tip at all. If you search the forum, you’ll find this question asked and all these answers given over and over on the forum. So, now it’s here again with the same exact answers again. Hopefully this covers everything so we can let it go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

destinyrose Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 I would rather not let it go, my gig is for helping people to use a website much like this one. Sure, there are rules there as well … just as there are here on this site. I respect all rules of any site, having worked for one myself. However, Tips are earned and result in return customers for the site so the site earns their money plus more because of repeat customers. Tips and repeat customers are the result of the hard work and dedication of the person giving the service in the fist place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonthaunt Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I understand that you work hard and respect rules. I get it that tips are earned and that happy buyers come back for more. I followed you on all that. That leaves two things I don’t understand in your comment.What does any of it have to do with what I explained about why they charge commission on tips?What do you not want to let go of?

egoant Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Also, most payment providers charge to move money. This charge is often percentage-based. If Fiverr didn’t take a cut of tips then they would lose money on tip transactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destinyrose Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 not anything to let go of - I make a point with an actual comment and reason what about that does not make sense to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destinyrose Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 So hard honest workers have to pay for the crooks? Like how much sense does that make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoinfinnegan Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 It’s a pity but it is the way of the world. The dishonesty of some leads to restrictions or inconvenience for all. Think airport (or any kind) security, tax audits etc. Such is life, I suggest you get used to it (or create a new utopian paradise somewhere, whichever suits).
