Hello
Barry and others,

I am thankful for your response describing your experience with Fiverr. I
won't be using it based on two things: your observations and a phrase
within the instructions cited by Google AI opn how to navigate Fiverr and
its payment page with a screen reader, keyboard. It referred basically to
how some links and fields "may be nested" which is my experience from past
efforts.
Actually, this is my second experience within website history where results
did not occur as hoped or expected. If I cannot get a website to cooperate
with me, then I am applying the golden rule in return to it.
Thanks again and all the best to you and yours,

David
