    I agree with a quicker payment system. I would prefer that i could pay $50/100 at once and then use the credits when i need to. I get really frustrated that i have to keep paying $5 each time.

    Regards

    Fiverr $1 fee is a bit high. If you give freelancers more than your site will have a good number of members soon. And another change I would like to see is to make gigs worth $10, $15 and $20.

    Members on your site should be able to cash out within 7 days as oppose to 15 days for 5 or 10 bucks. I would also decrease the fee from 1.00 to .50

    it will be hard, what about doing one for $1 or something, you would need to add new features to the original fivver type script, e.g video hosting, easier to use GUI :D

    @Jasonb-already have the video feature taking care of :) of course there's always room for GUI improvements ;)

    @Carla Easley- i will not be charging Seller's 20% commission of their earnings. I will have to implement another methods for covering PayPal's transaction fees though.

    @crazyblogger- no worries in that department, I won't restrict you to working for pennies on $5. You'll be able to charge higher increments for your expertise to increase your earnings.

    @JoTheEntreprenette-note taken, I will implement a credit and/or escrow balance into my site for buyers.

    Regarding the quicker payment disbursement, I will diligently work on it but I can't make any guarantees or promises because I'll will be at PayPal's mercy to follow their guidelines & limitations they initially set on Business account I set up with them. I will work on implementing other additional payment disbursement options into my site for Sellers as well as for Buyers to make their purchases. Thank you all for your valuable feedback. Keep them coming! :)
