  Crowdsourcing platforms have become quite popular due to the increasing
demand of human computation-based tasks. Though the crowdsourcing systems are
primarily demand-driven like MTurk, supply-driven marketplaces are becoming
increasingly popular. Fiverr is a fast growing supply-driven marketplace where
the sellers post micro-tasks (gigs) and users purchase them for prices as low
as $5. In this paper, we study the Fiverr platform as a unique marketplace and
characterize the sellers, buyers and the interactions among them. We find that
sellers are more appeasing in their interactions and try to woo their buyers
into buying their gigs. There are many small tightly-knit communities existing
in the seller-seller network who support each other. We also study Fiverr as a
seller-driven marketplace in terms of sales, churn rates, competitiveness among
various sub-categories etc. and observe that while there are certain
similarities with common marketplaces there are also many differences.
