Can Seller Ask for Tip on Fiverr?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 12:47 am

As a freelancer, you’re always looking for ways to make a little extra money. So when you see a gig on Fiverr that offers a tip, it’s tempting to go for it. But can the seller really ask for a tip?

The answer is yes and no. Fiverr’s Terms of Service state that sellers are not allowed to “request or require” tips, but there are certainly ways around that.

PRO TIP: While it is not expressly forbidden for a seller to ask for a tip on Fiverr, it is generally frowned upon and may result in negative feedback or even suspension of your account.

For example, some sellers will list their gig as “tip included” or “tips appreciated.” Others will include a note in their description saying something like “please feel free to leave a tip if you’re happy with the work.”

Technically, the seller is not supposed to request or require a tip, but there’s nothing stopping them from strongly suggesting it. So if you’re thinking about leaving a tip, go ahead and do it! But if you don’t want to, don’t feel pressured into it.
