TRANSACTION: Fiverr
Fiverr is a “gig” site, with all sorts of people selling products: the products are usually their skills – video editing, audio work, voice over/acting. Users can freely create an account to offer, or purchase services, from each other. Fiverr generates income from each successful gig. If the service cost less than $20.00, they take a flat $1.00 processing fee: if the service cost more than $20.00, they take a 5% cut of the total order. This is, comparative to other service platforms, a very reasonable charge: because of this, there are tens of thousands of freelancers working through Fiverr, all selling unique and interesting services.
