What if the payer does not want to pay a fee?

If the payer does not pay the convenience fee, the fee will be deducted from the recipient's (payee) payout. In such cases, a 5%-8.75% fee would be deducted from the transferred amount.

Best client/freelancer relationships start with an understanding of who is going to cover the cost (if any) involved with getting paid. ProZ*Pay is not involved in whatever agreements client and freelancer might come to regarding who pays the fees.
