When sellers have moral objections, they usually mention them in the gig description.

You could outsource it, although the honest thing to do would be to cancel. Just tell your buyer that you’re sorry, but you’re uncomfortable dealing with adult content.

Or you can just do the job.

Personally, I like meeting interesting clients. I have learned so much about new age, MLM’s, real estate, escorts, politicians running for office, vegetarians, marihuana, natural eating, bamboo sunglasses, environmental products, spices, that even when it’s not something I would ever buy, I appreciate the opportunity to work on it.

When I see a seller writing “no porn, no alcohol, no tobacco, no MLM’s,” I’m thinking this is someone depriving himself of lucrative opportunities.

Besides, whatever you do isn’t about you, it’s about your client, so you don’t have to feel guilty if what they do is “sinful.”

Well, technically, it is about the seller, at least as far as the terms of the service is concerned. I, personally, have moral standards (a result of my strong religious faith), that makes it inappropriate for me to be supporting the actions of someone who has chosen to make their living within the “porn industry” (for example) – something that my faith does not support. And I don’t accept projects relating to the canabis industry because that’s still illegal in my state. I don’t feel comfortable completing projects that are not legal where I live.

As long as a seller abides by the Fiverr TOS first and foremost, it really is up to them whether they want to add additional terms that further define the limitations of their gig service.

First Check what you offer and Do mention if it is require to contact you before placing the order. So buyer should know about this.

And still if buyer place the order directly and the scoop of work is not in your description, do offer something extra in that case that is the last option to avoid cancellation.

Don’t force buyer for anything. Hope this will help you.

Yes, that’s very odd that you’re the one that has to suffer from a cancelled order, (By getting a hit to completion rate, which can eventually de-level you) if that cancellation is because a buyer didn’t read your description, ignored it or is trying to scam you. Not very thought-out by fiverr! :thinking:

I think in cases like that, support should be able to cancel an order so that there is zero impact on your account. Someone should start a petition!

I can respect that, I knew a Mormon copywriter that got a job in Utah because he didn’t want to sell alcohol on coffee, he’s had a great career.

Maybe you can refer your controversial clients to me. 🙂

I’m not a lawyer, but I think our First Amendment protects you from government persecution. Selling drugs isn’t the same as writing brand names, t-shirts, headlines, content, logos, etc. Even if a criminal hires us, our work isn’t criminal, but if you’re morally opposed to drugs, then I can understand why you don’t want those clients.

Me personally? I’m morally opposed to being broke. Like a good criminal lawyer, I don’t ask too many questions. I just defend my clients in the court of public opinion and get paid. The only thing that makes me feel a little guilty are the MLM clients, but then again, MLM’s work for a few lucky people, and there are no guarantees of success in life. Whether you get a license to sell real estate or become a Herbalife distributor, you can fail either way.

I can certainly keep that in mind. If I recall, you’ve referred a few buyers my way in the past too. 😉

Yeah, I’m not worried about legal prosecution. I just don’t want to dip my toes into an arena that isn’t supported within the legal framework of my state. Canabis works for some people, it just doesn’t work for me. I don’t care to know the industry, so I would be a terrible person to create work related to it.
