junaid_m Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I always notice that freelancers who often buy gigs don’t either give review or they provide negative review. Maybe the reason behind this is professional jealousy. What’s your opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the reason behind this is professional jealousy. What’s your opinion?don’t either give reviewI believe if a freelancer buys from you and re-sell your work for wayyyy much more $$ than they’ve paid you… then they will not like having the design they’ve sold as “theirs” in your live portfolio…What you think?

uxreview Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I’ve purchased plenty of services from Fiverr myself and I always provide a positive review if the service is worth it.Although freelancers might have slightly higher expectations because they know what the service is worth. For example, if you design a logo in Paint or steal it, then an average buyer might accept it, but a freelancer who has a background in graphic design will not.

thecreativeguys Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Be vigilant. Don’t proceed with an order knowing that the person on the other side won’t provide you with a fair review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if a seller promises a logo in vector format (created in AI), then that’s exactly what I expect. Anything less than that won’t get a positive response no matter what the price is. However, if a seller tells me that for $5 I will get a logo created with Paint then I will accept it.If you’re struggling with reviews then try to edit your gig description to ensure it meets customer expectations.You can also use FAQ’s to explain your service.

Assuming that it’s not obvious from their feedback and recent messages.I highly doubt they left you a slightly lower rating out jealousy. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesbulls Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 It might be because as freelancers we have a finely tuned ability to detect bullshoot. We go out of our way to give our clients the best every time, so when another seller serves us shoot on a shingle, we’d rather do the community a favor by leaving an honest yet negative review than to simply eat our shoot pie and find another freelancer to finish the job.
