How to set up a gig on Fiverr
Only registered users can buy and sell on Fiverr, so first you need to register an account. Registration is free and easy, requiring only an e-mail address, a username, and a password. Buyers pay Fiverr in advance for orders. When a gig is completed, Fiverr credits the account of the the seller with $4, and Fiverr keeps $1. (Maybe it should be called "Fourr"!) The seller may then withdraw funds for the completed gig to a Paypal account.
If for any reason a gig is cancelled, funds are returned to the buyer. Sellers and gigs are rated by the community based on buyers' feedback. A negative rating can be caused by order cancellations or the late delivery of a gig by the seller.
Fiverr acts as an intermediary for all gigs, and personal contact details are not permitted for any reason. The identities of both the buyer and seller are kept anonymous. Communication is done exclusively through the messaging system on the Fiverr website.
Once the gig is completed, the seller delivers files or other proof of work through a tab labelled "Deliver Completed Work" on the order page. The buyer then has three days to respond, after which time the order is marked as complete.
