that service debit the money and hold it in trust for you. When you provide the

service to the buyer Fiverr will then pay the money to you. Note; Fiverr will

charge a service fee of 20% of jobs before returning the rest to you. So, for a job
$5, you will get $4 dollar, while a job of $100 you will get $80. This is fare

enough. Fiverr will never charge you any service fee until a buyer buys your
service and makes the payment for you.
