cherylleisten Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I’m getting annoyed at buyers trying to use this platform like an indeed or ****** (Other Marketplace) type website. I’m hired BY THE GIG not on hourly pay, salary or a commission basis. It’s against the terms to hire someone off of fiverr for a regular job, and they don’t seem to get this. How do I explain to them that this isn’t the help wanted ads or ***** (Other Marketplace)? I tried to tell them to go to ******* and the word got flagged when I typed it in. I want serious fiverr buyers. What can I do about this?Mod Note: Post edited. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silberma1976 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Can you give an example? Is it along the lines of can I work for you? Or, do you have work for me? Or, I will do a logo for you for $5 and it will be best ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidendickie Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 You could ignore them, block them or set a quick response to quickly let them know.Maybe there is something about your profile or gig, you could try asking why they thought, i’m not sure if that is the best option though.

aidendickie Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 …Or maybe you could say on your profile or gig that you are not looking for this type of work, A disclaimer or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
