Unlimited revisions

Recommended Posts

I read somewhere on a post in the past week that gigs can’t take longer than 30 days to finish or something like that…

So how are unlimited revisions allowed? Technically speaking I can ask you for revisions until the year 2117 and beyond.

Let’s say I order a youtube intro gig with smoke revealing my logo, I could ask you for red smoke, you deliver, no I want green smoke, you deliver, and so forth until I have every colour of the rainbow.

I seen unlimited revisions on writing gigs among others but in writing gigs seems the most. Why would anyone do that, it is so open to abuse.

I tend to order youtube intro and other video gigs (spokesperson and things like that). I see: “no free revisions unless I make a mistake” but I never seen unlimited revisions there.

I know why newbie sellers do it, competition. But it leaves to abuse.

Yeah! That’s how unlimited revisions works. As a buyer, you can ask for unlimited revisions as long you’re satisfied or something worse happens between you and your seller.(If the gig offered it) and the seller has nothing to do without giving revisions and sometimes that leads to disaster with some buyers(like you stated to ask for all the colors in a rainbow 😂)
There are some new buyers who really looks for unlimited revisions before ordering and they don’t care about levels of a seller. It increases the chance to get orders for newbies.

Still unlimited should have a limited time frame in order to maintain “abusing” unlimited revisions 🙂

This is a misunderstanding of what a revision is. Unfortunately this is quite common here but a revision should only be a slight change to an order, a small improvement etc. It should not be a completely different order and should not be a change to something the buyer has specified - ie. buyer specified red then changes his mind after the work is done. Thats not a revision, thats a new order. Of course, if it is simple then a seller may do it but it is their prerogative.

Also when buyer takes a revision why there is no additional time to it? If byer take a revision when 5 minutes left and I can’t do it in 5 minutes, what then?

This is because if the seller initially didn’t offer what is needed, the buyer still may have planned the gig around a deadline. To me, a revision isn’t a complete change based on what the seller wants, it’s usually a small change or miscommunication that can happen.

A complete work scope change isn’t a fair revision.

@eoinfinnegan I know what revision is, just that I see so many newbies offering them, leaving them open to abuse.

@mintyone I know what a fair revision is. If you put on your gig unlimited revisions, that means unlimited revisions, nothing about fair revisions.

Yeah, “Unlimited Revisions” term has become more of a marketing tool now. However, in a logical sense, it helps the buyer to order with confidence that the seller will assist him in doing necessary modifications. Since Fiverr TOS clearly points out that revisions should be “Fair” ones, there’s no point of arguing about fair and unfair revision requests.

And, keep in mind that there are fake sellers who come up with excuses when it comes to modifications. So, “Unlimited Revisions” actually means that the seller will do modifications without any conditions. Hope it clarifies everything.

They may want smth around a deadline, but when they take a revision and it’s don’t add more time, the order can be late and so it will be impact on the raiting.

I use revisions as an added service to my customers. I already offer a great price on Fiverr so revisions are extra and unlimited revisions NEVER! Most customers are fine with this and many pay upfront when asking for the revision. I had ONE customer once that went crazy - telling me that most of my competition was offering FREE revisions and that I had better do the same if I did not want to go out of business. LOL! My business keeps growing. Why - I try to focus on customers who believe you get what you pay for - not on the people looking for the cheapest deal (who amazingly are the worst clients).
