sandy_pro Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 It 8th time when a buyer inbox me and said that he will order me but i have to send a sample before that. But when i send him the logo and after plenty of hour he is not logging in back. Why buyer do this. And this happens before i had send him the logo. Why buyers are behaving like that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoinfinnegan Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Either they don’t like the sample you send so they go to someone else, or if you are sending custom samples then they are probably taking them and using them without paying for them. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ordered me to create sample and they don’t even give a look to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way they will still go away but you have not given them anything.People do not appreciate you when you give them something free.They do not respect you. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gina_riley2 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 In my tenure on 5r, I’ve never asked for free samples or any samples, for that matter.Buyer: Can you give me free sample?Seller: No.Buyer: Can you lower your price?Seller: NoBuyer: I’d like to cancel this order.Seller: No.Problem solved. 😁 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy_pro Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 Well, hello there!Hate buyers they make foolI didn’t know buyers “make fool”. What’s that, a new kind of dish? Is “fool” good? Would love to taste it sometime.Why buyer do this.Now seriously.Maybe because they didn’t like your sample? You know, we live in a free world, no one is obliged to purchase anything from you, and it’s really up to you whether you send a sample, or not.I for example, cannot offer samples of my work, for a variety of reasons I wish not to specify here, now. And even if I provided potential buyers with samples, what’s the problem?End game: If you want to get a 100% sale, change your occupation, go in Real Estate for example, and bind people with legal contracts!😕Buyer haven’t checked my sample. You are not getting it. Please read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Buyer haven’t checked my sample. You are not getting it. Please read it.There are a lot of people who message you and ask you things and they never have any intention of buying your gig. They really have no interest in it.They just want to waste your time. I don’t know why they do it. But they do it.Stop trusting that the people who message you are decent nice honest people who are really interested in your gig. Some are but some are not.They are just pretending to be interested in it.All you can do is not be eager to do things like give them free samples thinking it will lead to a sale. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is your business, potential buyers only have much power as you give them.It doesn’t matter if you are self employed or part of a chain like Wal-Mart or Target, when you’re dealing with people, there is always few sour grapes. No, you won’t win every time, even when you follow the rules, you may still lose.Some sellers are a magnet because people share information. There was an article writer here, Swedish - I think, who was a TRS but fell to level 0 before completely losing his account. Scammers had website sharing information on how to get free work from him.If you let bad people get away with free work then it will happen again and again, like him. If you stand your ground, easier said then done - I know, but the word will be “Stay away from this seller, he won’t cancel.”I don’t have gigs here, but I buy here often and sell on Amazon. I have my fair share of bad, cheating buyers. You have more power on 5r than I do on Amazon. 🙂 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlgpdx Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Hope this will not happen again. And i will not give any samples to any buyers without purchasing my gig.I am wondering why you don’t just watermark the samples you send. I provide samples, all the time. I just slap a big watermark across it, so it cannot be stolen. If the buyer wants to see, without the watermark - I send them a custom order to pay. If they do not pay - I move on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so frustrating because were on false arguments, I contacted fiverr CS team and they saw that I delivered what was promised… but still, nothing to do with the 1 star review… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
