This can be website specific, it would be done on the site where you're making a payment. I know nothing about the site you mention but they're all about the same.

When a purchase has been chosen (it's usually called being put into a "cart"), it's time to 'checkout". When you do so, your amount of purchase and payment options will be shown. If Paypal is accepted by the site, it will be shown as one of the options When Paypal is selected, a window pops up that takes you to the Paypal site itself to log in (with your Paypal username and password). It asks you to choose the underlying payment method you want PAYPAL to use.

When it validates that selection, you return to the original website where you're making the payment and your purchase is complete.

Good explanation!

Yes, elmer wrote a very good, succinct explanation of how to pay with PayPal when shopping online.

However, the OP did say, "I don't know how to pay a Fiverr service person via Paypal..." You can send money to anyone via PayPal as long as you have their e-mail address or mobile phone number. You log into your own PayPal account and then select "pay or send money." Then you need to choose whether you are paying for goods/services, or simply sending money to someone. There is no fee as long as you send the money from your PayPal balance or from your bank account.

I believe that's not how Fiverr works, the payment needs to go through the site.

If you pay the provider outside the website, the amount due will remain unpaid.

But another failed try and another vacuous insult. Enough, bye!

Elmer, my apologies that I didn't make it here sooner, but if you can believe this, i've been spending approx. the past six hours pricking my fingers painstakingly cleaning out the caked-up grill of my gurgling window AC with toothpicks & skewers, as i'd posted elsewhere on Houzz.

Thanks so much for the helpful info, and Fun2bhere for the text which led me to the correct Fiverr URL! But as the saying goes - it ain't pulled off until it's pulled off! I plan to ask the seller to charge me an initial token charge of a dollar to test it out, if possible to do so.

Lindsey, thanks - indeed i've used PP to make those types of payments in the past, but as was pointed out, it's against Fiverr policy.

No problem,

I don't think there's a need to test it. If you go through the payment sequence as outlined, it should be fine. The provider probably doesn't have a way to alter after the fact what was set as the charge for whatever you ordered.

If something goes wrong, it can always be adjusted. Don't be skittish about it, this is a legit site of a publicly traded company.

I see, Elmer, thanks for explaining!

lindsey seems to have deleted a number of her off-topic posts. Some of my comments above were in response to her and now that they're not visible, they don't make any sense. I'll leave them as is.

Elmer or Fun2Bhere, there are lotsa bugs in Fiverr - namely lots of non-clarity. I.E. I can't find an answer to this simple question:

What is Buyer's Deadline to Approve or Reject a Delivery?

As an aside, I've no idea how seller reached Level 2, with a seemingly impressive portfolio? Were the samples that were messaged to me copy-cat ones? There's bare-bones communication, rather mostly "Okay" in response to specific questions, such as why is XX so much narrower than YY. And similar to the way some Chinese send you lots of blue toys when you ordered pink ones (all because they "like" that color, and are sure that their own preference is superior to yours) ....this might be what i'm dealing with now. Either that, or carelessness.

...BUT ALSO - to give the benefit of the doubt, could it be due to the deadline seller faced in the first round?

If you can't contact this or any other website to get answers to your questions, don't use it.

If you walked into a store, found something you wanted, asked about the return policy and you either don't get an answer or you get an answer you don't like, you'd leave. Same thing with a website.

True Elmer, but i'm this much deep in, so i figure, what the heck. I actually just did click on the fiverr contact form to ask the question, but i don't expect a timely reply from such a huge entity, so decided to expand my Q here.

...So, do you by any chance know the answer to my Deadline Q above?

...yes it's true there's bad online rap re: fiverr reputation. (But the bad rap is on sellers' part, even if i think it's both, as with Ebay)

...I now see the seller is quite a careless moron, because i handed her RED REVISIONS on a silver platter, yet thus far i see several revisions were ignored or misconstrued. But i need TIME to sort thru it later, since i may need to go out today! And i can't find the answer to my Deadline Q which is beyond belief!

...see, just like with Houzz, designers of Fiverr often shove SYMMETRY & CONVENTION VS. PRACTICALITY down peoples' throat. But REAL-LIFE doesn't always have the luxury of opting for symmetry (or beauty or conventionally-used-items), as we need the practicality more! Many designers on Houzz don't realize that, as they're used to a certain lifestyle!

...And guess what? Outsourced reps copy Western preferences, since their western-sourced education programs them to prefer "professionalism" more than "compassionate-professionalism".

On a tangential rant (so be warned its a O.T. vent), it's the same with the medical field. One-size-fits-all professionalism vs. compassionate-professionalism. Duh...if they're so altruistic, why have they suppressed stem-cell tech & other tech for decades? Why the false propaganda vs. HCQ for Covid? And why do you hardly hear about the common-cholesterol drug for Covid? Their shenanigans which i've dealt with for years as a "chronic", is now coming out in the wash to everyone. With advent of Covid. I subscribe to Foster & Kimberley Gamble's eclectic outlook, which eclectically combines professionalism WITH compassion. Even their Hemalucent stem cells seem promising.

...One-size-fits-all is easy. They did that back in biblical Sodom. Stretching or chopping off feet to fit guests into beds. These days, it's median size shoes fit all, which is why my feet and legs are severely medically compromised, due to not finding shoes or socks my size over the years. I wear little-boys 4.5 Smartfit sandals, and little-boys socks, for survival in today's modern-version of Sodom. I also can't reach stuff on store shelves. Can't fit arms through arm-holes. And so forth.

...I do realize my complaints may sound like those who feel entitled. But if you think about it, it was only after power-hungry mass-production industrialists took over, that individual needs were shunted aside, and deemed invisible. Prior to that, the playing field was more level, because shoemakers would make shoes for everyone, not just median sized. And this list goes on and on. So when people complain, they're not "entitlement fanatics". Rather, their real-life is often worse than their complaint! Granted, not always. But there's room for discernment.

So sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question.

I can't follow what your problem is nor what you're talking about. I did chuckle a bit with your "modern version of Sodom" comment, whatever that may be referring to. Who talks like that?

Good luck.

Fun2Bhere, i found the deadline answer (see below), and Elmer, I talk like that, because i'm not a one-size-fits-all gal, as posted above. And you would know what i'm talking about if you'd have been interested in my style, which most are not..

Look, you were very helpful in your 1st answer to me up above, and i sincerely appreciate that, so far be it from me to act flip, and please remind me not to on any other threads you may respond to.

BTW, i found the deadline-answer myself, but it was NOT near the Approve/Reject (yes/no) buttons. And that is why their programmer is MAJORLY flawed. Had i programmed it, i'd have put it in BIG BOLD RED TEXT right near those buttons, in consideration of those who have absenminded-intensity, thus tend to miss the Big Picture. I was explained that via graphology reading. People like me need to always remember to take a 2nd and 3rd, 4th glance at things we miss out. But we don't. That's our flaw. And yours is that you'll probably say you don't understand this whole paragraph. I'd be curious if Lindsey does :-)

Answer - On Fiverr, the Deadline for Buyer to Accept/Reject (a.k.a. Approve/Not-Approve a.k.a. Yes/No) is Three Days. Beyond that, it's considered automatically approved by buyer.

I still don't follow what you're trying to say at the beginning.

It's not up to me or anyone else to tell you how to act, do as you like. But when you do as you like, I think you'd do everyone a favor to by easing up and avoiding the non-standard fonts and effects. They're needlessly harsh, hard to read, and I think probably subtract rather than add to your message. This too, do as you like.

whatever.

lindsey, I have no more interest in your comments today than before.

Just for fun, try connecting to this site using a browser you haven't used before. Make sure you're not signed on as a user. I see just one post of yours in the entire thread before this most recent one. How many do you see?

Or don't, I don't care. Your personal insults say much about you and nothing about me.

lindsey, here's an example of what you think is visible, that isn't visible to me. This is a screen capture, no editing. You'll see several of the comments you've requoted just now are not there. No loss, they were off topic insults. But I do like your idea of flagging rude comments, I'll do that to save the moderators time.

I don't find your comments to be ones I want to respond to and in the future, I won't.

Ok I admit that there are times when I have trouble following all the posts, especially when things are deleted - but honestly Lindsey - I just clicked on this topic for the first time and I only see the initial comment you wrote -

and then the very last one - where you included all of your posts - I only see what Elmer posted. Maybe it's a Houzz thing - but those other responses don't show for me.

Instructions are on the Fiverr buyer FAQ page.

Consider this a vent. My sojourn on Fiverr has turned into a nightmare time-guzzler dragging out forever. On top of that, Fiverr is risky. There has to be some foul play, cuz she's an architect like i'm a monkey's uncle. You can see sample-dialog if you scroll down to end of this post. After the dragged-out headache, she further delayed the past couple days, because she "hadn't received" my JPG-revisions which i'd submitted. I, too, had noticed that fiverr-bug at my end (i.e. of Chat messages not displaying), but immediately i caught on that it needs to be REFRESH'ed. That fixed it, and i knew from then on to always Refresh! Yet this seller is Level Two?? (scratching my head) Her idiocy is beyond describing in words. She lied to me initially, claiming she'd be able to get proportions right based on my submitting to her the measurement of one of the walls, which is the only one i was able to find out absolutely.. Turns out she lied about that.. Then after the forementioned delay (when i tried cancelling due to her responding "OK" rather than with facts) she told me the excuse that she hadn't noticed my JPG. So yet again i gave her a chance, enabling her to Deny my request, with the claim "she'd do better". What a joke. Today's delivery was as bad as the rest.

Then I tried to change Settings in Fiverr so that I should receive a Refund to Paypal, rather than as a Fiverr balance. But when i clicked all those dropdowns, Fiverr kept spitting back at me that i first need to Cancel (that's not true, i already for the 2nd time had asked Seller about an hour ago, to Cancel my order, stating that yet again she got proportions and measurements all wrong, plus I gave her general specifics, that she didn't cross-check with my original layout, and that the entry closet & halls weren't according to layout. I'm sure you can guess - again she Denied.

So because of Fiverr constant Looping (as per above paragraph) - i then try a new routine, asking Fiverr to Cancel. See my below attachment, for the result of THAT effort! As if asking seller for more revisions will do any good! This is NUTS!

Bottom line:

Fiverr keeps Looping back at you with unhelpful messages. It is extremely confusing to understand & navigate, even to the extent of two different Cancel types (apparently with a request to Seller or to Fiverr. Very confusing! And in any case - unproductive.) Fiverr puts you at their mercy and that of the Seller. I already gave enough revisions to the Seller to last me a lifetime!

Why does Fiverr not let buyers just Cancel, for crying out loud. I don't think i'll even get my money back after all the hard work i was put through! And i was courteous all along, holding back my temper at seller's non-answers & gibberish. She'd mostly just say OK - as a non-answer.

Or else i'd get "lovely" text's such as the ones below (unfortunately, it's the only way for y'all to get a tiny grasp of what i've experienced):

"Sorry for that but i ensure that i will send you soon and i had done your work now its time to revision."

or (during her non-refresh fiasco - which i wasn't aware of at my end - i get this, instead of factual answers:

"Hello, if you have any changes please send me because it would be completed otherwise it hampers me because revision doesn't long time on fiverr.
