How a PortalBunny deal works: who pays, when, and what stays on the record.
PortalBunny is built for fixed-price work between creators and brands. It starts with Stage 1: one link for a sponsored LinkedIn post. The seller sets the price, the buyer pays first, and a completed deal leaves a record on both sides.
Live for invited creators and companies. The answers below describe how a deal works now.
01Who pays the PortalBunny fee?
The buyer. The seller sets a price and receives 100% of it. PortalBunny’s fee is added on top and paid by the buyer.
02How much is the fee?
PortalBunny fee 8%, minimum $20 / €20 / £20. The brief, draft and price are agreed in advance, the creator is paid only after the agreed conditions are met, and completed paid deals build both sides’ record. The creator receives 100% of the post price. On an $800 post the fee is $64. The fee is the same for every payment method. Deals go from 100 to 5,000 in US dollars, euros or pounds. Over $5,000? Write to us — bigger deals can be opened after a short company review, usually within 2 working days. From $20,000 in creator prices, PortalBunny Partners can plan and run the campaign for you (20%).
03When does the buyer pay?
Before the work starts. The seller will see that the buyer has paid before doing anything.
04Where is the money while the work is being done?
Payments are processed by Stripe. The creator is paid after the post is approved and the agreed live period ends.
05When does the seller get paid?
After the buyer approves the post and it has stayed live for the agreed period: 3 or 7 days on the pilot. First payouts take longer: until a creator has finished 3 deals, payouts go out no earlier than 14 days after payment. The buyer has 3 days to approve or raise an issue; no answer counts as approval.
06What if something is not as agreed?
Use “Raise an issue” in the deal and pick the reason: the post is missing or its link does not work; it materially differs from the approved draft; the brand tag the accepted brief asked for is missing; or the post isn’t clearly marked as an ad, or LinkedIn’s Brand partnership label is missing where it was available. Personal preferences are not grounds for rejection. The creator has 2 working days to correct it, then the buyer has 24 hours to check. If it isn’t corrected, the buyer gets a full refund, including the fee. There is no dispute fee. If the post isn’t in the deal 24 hours after the deadline, the buyer can get a full refund, including the fee.
07Who can be the buyer?
A company or a person. Companies buy; people can sell and buy, so a creator can buy from another creator.
08What goes on the record?
After a deal is paid and finished, both sides’ record shows it: how many deals, with how many different people, posted on time, accepted and usual times. These show publicly once someone has finished 3 deals with 3 different people. Deal amounts are never public; no stars, no reviews. A deal is listed by name only if both sides agree.
09Is there a minimum deal, and who can sell?
The minimum deal is $100. Stage 1 covers one deal type, a sponsored LinkedIn post, with no follower minimum. A creator confirms that the LinkedIn account is theirs by signing in with LinkedIn. Example: an $800 post — the buyer pays $864, the creator receives $800.
