saminatasneem Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Recently I faced the problem. Buyer want work sample without creating any order. Which is really annoying. because after working hard for them, they do not create any order. So what should I do this type of Buyer? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariashtelle1 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Do not create “samples” for them.That’s a big red flag if your so-called client want a sample and doesn’t even want to pay minimal order that means they are planning from the beginning to get your sample and run away with it without paying 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miiila Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Offer them to send a custom offer for a paid sample order. If they don’t want to pay for your time you need to do the sample, chances are they don’t want to pay anyway. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is really annoying. because after working hard for them, they do not create any order. So what should I do this type of Buyer?So what should I do this type of Buyer?Politely remind them that they can check your style in your gig gallery, and, also politely, tell them that you don’t offer free custom samples, but that they can order your basic package for just $5. If they still refuse to place an order, politely tell them that you’ve unable to help them.With your prices, whoever asks for a free sample doesn’t intend to buy, so there’s zero need to give them anything for free.Oh, and it would be a great idea to get rid of unlimited revisions, that’s an invitation for abuse, especially when combined with the $5 price and delivery within 24 hours. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariashtelle1 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Yes you are totally right. They just escape away. There is no rule to complain about them?There is no rule to complain about them?Of course there is no rule for that. That’s not how fiverr works. It’s explicitly said in fiverr TOS that all work starts only after placing an order. In this case you basically decided to work for free because you also didn’t follow fiverr rules.Of course you can go and complain to CS but they don’t have any way of protecting you when you and your client misusing the platform. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vickiespencer Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 thank you again. I was doing the sample for them because I thought they want to know my work quality but they escape away that’s I never thought. From next, I’m always careful about it.I was doing the sample for them because I thought they want to know my work qualityI also made that mistake when I was a new seller. 😉 However, these “buyers” only want to steal from the new and inexperienced sellers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayedussadat Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I think they are telling you to make a mockup design.Of Course it won’t be a wise idea to do something and show it to them as in the meantime someone may show something good and grab your opportunity of working with him/her.I would suggest you to show samples of your previous work.In case you have to make some mockup make an agreement and take some amount before you proceed.Good luck!

photoshoper98 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I have more simple solution @saminatasneemEvery time my buyers ask me for samples I leave Big Giant watermark on that sample so they can’t use it anywhere unless they buy that thing.that’s it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for writing there is almost no way to protect it. It is sad but true.You work for hours and do your best to produce your best piece, just to be stolen and claimed by someone else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
