Hitting Payoneer's $5k Invoice Requirement?

[Akuchi]

Does anyone know a method to hit $5k on Payoneer without going through Fiverr or Upwork? They take 15-20% commissions. I don't want to waste $1,000 just so that I can unlock the invoice feature.

I have a client that wants to pay me $5k for a project but I don't want to go through those stupid freelance websites. Thank you very much!

Here are their terms:

• Only ACH (US local bank) transfers in USD can be accepted
• Transfers must be made from a company account
• Transfers from individuals will be automatically rejected
• Wire transfers are not supported
• Transfers made from a company account owned by you cannot be accepted

this sounds risky why not.....

• Transfers made from a company account owned by you cannot be accepted , the reason for freelance company to protect buyer and creator .

i would say business account but not allowed .

I mean wouldn't a local company agree to do it with $500?

Why don't you ask him to pay by debit/credit card? Those terms are only if you want to receive payment by ACH transfer.

ant this direct debit

• Transfers from individuals will be automatically rejected

what about a cheek and you use a money shop to cash it , less then 1k fees ?

It says they only accept ACH. They can only pay via bank name, routing number, and account number.

Why not try creating a fake account on another freelancing platform with the lowest transactional fee and just hire yourself there for a $5k-$6k job and withdraw the money?

You can also get this around building a fake eCommerce store and have a friend place a $5k+ order (you will give him the money) and just withdraw it?

Payments can be made by debit card, from a company card.

Do you know a freelancing platform with low transaction fees that accept Payoneer? That is what I have been struggling to find but I do agree this may be the best bet here.

Unfortunately the eCommerce store won't work because the deposit to Payoneer needs to be from a company that you do not own.

Until you have $5k, the only way Payoneer lets you accept payments is by giving someone your bank account number and routing number. How are they supposed to pay that with a debit card or company card? Am I missing something?

pre paid cards legit become bank accounts and anyone can pay you with any bank card....

off course there a charge .

Ah, ok. Forgive my ignorance please - so how would you get a prepaid Mastercard and then send a payment to someone who gave you their bank name, routing number, and bank account number?

I've received last month a payment made with a debit card (from a company card) through Payoneer. No problems for me, just for the person who made the payment. Had to upload some documents.

PeoplePerHour has a 5% transactional fee for freelancers. It´s among the lowest you´ll find.

Other you can check out are Guru (8.95%), Freelancer (10%) and Twago (10%).

Another option is FlexJobs but they have Monthly as well as yearly packages. I am not familiar with those but this can actually be your best choice as i am guessing their monthly or even yearly plan might be less than $500 (10% of $5,000).

Dude, thank you. I think PeoplePerHour is the best option here. I have tried PayPal and all of the other suggestions but they don't work.
