So, first time I cashed out.
Hello Brizz Bane,
Just thought you'd like to know fiverr.com sent you $7.84 USD.
....Now I was pissed..because they already take 20%, so I want my $.16.
Sent them this:

another fee taken?!?: Why did you take another $.16 out of my balance when paying me????
Isn't 20% enough?!

Hi Brizz,
As you may know, transferring funds has its costs. PayPal currently charges their customers 2%, and up to a maximum of $1 of the transferred sum when sending money to their account.
Tip: if you are not in a hurry to withdraw your funds, it is better to wait until you earn more than $50 before you withdraw.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you,
Julia

Yes. I am aware payPal charges a fee--however, paypal doesn't charge me a fee because of my account type---I received funds the other day, and there was no fee taken out.
Just to make sure--I checked, because I was pretty sure you were lying to me (which at first I was very surprised).
...Soo..according to your email, the reason I didn't receive the full $8.00 was because Paypal charged me a fee...correct?
***
.....am I missing something? I am seriously pissed. ...if they are doing this to everyone...thats crazy. ...its only $.16... but I'm pissed they already took $1/5 ...
....so...they just straight up lied to me, correct??
edit: If they are...this could VERY eaqsily be class action-able...right? (not lawyery..at all.. that means charging for concern of a group..yes?)

Hi Brizz,
Correct. The reason why all sellers on Fiverr do not receive the full amount of funds is due to the 2% Paypal transfer fee on all withdraws from Fiverr. This 2% fee caps out at $50 (or $1 taken) and applies to all revenue withdraws from Fiverr.
