emmapinkyb Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hi All,I just wanted to ask what are peoples thoughts on unresponsive buyers?I get an order, there’s initial communication. I always deliver my orders well before they’re due and give more options than required, deliver and follow up asking if any changes/alterations are required and…silence.The order defaults to automatic completion and I never hear anything from the buyer again.It’s very frustrating. I even ask for constructive feedback, so I can improve my services.I also find this is common from ‘new buyers’ or buyers with no profile info.Considering sellers are required to jump through hoops to get their profiles and gigs approved, shouldn’t there be some sort of credential for buyers also?Thoughts?

shashanewallace Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Personally, I’d rather no feedback than a low feedback so I won’t even ask someone to leave me a feedback if they didn’t have the natural inclination to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most sellers don’t want to have to do extra work of revisions.I get so many buyers continuing to have long drawn out conversations with me after a delivery often for days or weeks that if they don’t message me it’s a chance to rest.

sara19841 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Some of those unresponsive buyers will message you again in several months because they want more work done.Fiverr is a funny old place. Maybe they think it’s like Amazon – take your product and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my reviews are great, but i don’t want to upset a “picky buyer” so he can give me a bad review just because I asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about just a ‘picky buyer’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
