In some countries, there probably is. I remember when I was in the UK for a couple of years, there was an excellent climate for small or micro-company creation, with relatively low taxes for beginners and a low social charge (something like medical care and pension monthly charge). When you open a one-person company, social and health insurance contributions are incredibly high in my country. It does not matter whether you have earned anything or not; you need to pay around $500 in fixed and unchanging fees, plus taxes. It's a horrible country for a freelancer or micro-company.

True, we will have to wait and see.

IMO, focusing on developing a global personal brand and building your independent empire beyond the confines of closed systems with stringent anti-seller policies is more advantageous. Additionally, advertising on Fiverr is necessary to rival sellers from regions with lower prices, which is far from a negligible cost. On my website, I compete with Fiverr and artists of vastly different styles. Utilising Google Ads simplifies the process of surpassing both Fiverr and these artists. The current 20% fee Fiverr charges is merely the starting point and will likely increase to 25% soon.

Again, the trees. You won't have to pay Fiverr's 20% fee, and there will be less competition because the market is more diffused.

Correct, it is terrible! But a couple of years ago, I encouraged other sellers: DO NOT WAIT, create your website sell there and at least diversify your earnings, and in case Fiverr increases the fee (or something else happens, like DAC7), you will be independent. Fiverr is good at first, but if you stay here forever, you are trapped: Fees and extremely high competition. It's a trap!

I have asked Customer Support, and this is what they wrote. I have also found the same information in a similar post on Reddit. Please check:

Not 2023, but this year. And they will report in the January 2025:

I'm not sure if that thread was the reason, but today they unblocked my Payoneer account.

I'm not sure if that thread was the reason, but today they unblocked my Payoneer account. How about you @deniskralj

@deniskralj Check out my thread:

Follow up: They (Payoneer) asked for an invoice related to a payment a client made for an artwork I completed for him two months ago. Since providing that invoice, nothing has changed. My account has remained fully functional, but the invoice has been under review for two months! This past Saturday, they sent me an email saying they blocked my account because I hadn't sent the requested invoice. I was shocked. When I logged into my account, I saw a notification indicating my balance was blocked. In the verification centre, there was no request for any additional documentation. So, I submitted a ticket and am now awaiting their response. Honestly, it's ridiculous. How can a massive company like Fiverr rely on such a flawed payment system? There are countless payment systems far superior to the messy and chaotic Payoneer. I'm genuinely surprised they're still using this subpar service. Fiverr, come on, you can do better. We all deserve better! I've been with Fiverr since 2015, and their choice of payment provider hasn't evolved at all. It's truly a shame.

Hi mate, I'm in the same situation. I uploaded the documents they requested, which was absurd. They wanted me to prove that I have a website with my name and address displayed, and in addition, they asked for an invoice from Fiverr to show my source of income. However, Fiverr doesn't issue invoices, so that became a challenge. Eventually, they asked for an invoice related to a payment a client made for artwork I completed for him two months ago.

This is ridiculous. With no explanation?!
