realsavitaa Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Dear Fellow Sellers,I am encountering a very difficult situation with an order booked on January, 2020. My buyer is super responsive and initiates a revision after every delivery. Its more than two months now and he is never satisfied. I promised him unlimited revisions while booking the order. Its not that he does not like my work but keeps on adding/modifying things. I don’t want to create any dispute as I have worked hard and long on this.Can anybody please suggest how to deal with such super responsive buyer?Thank you. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk1000 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Maybe don’t offer unlimited revisions on any gig/package/offer so it won’t happen again in future.You could contact CS if you think it’s much too many. Cancelling could be one option if it continues for too long and CS don’t do anything and if you don’t want to keep doing them. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariashtelle1 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Then why are you offering unlimited revisions if you don’t want to provide them? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solow13 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Promising unlimited revision isn’t a great idea unless you like work for free, the only thing you can do is to talk to the buyer and be honest about the situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell the buyer you’ve gone way out of the way for him on this and you’ll be doing one last revision for him. If there’s anything more after this, he must create a new order. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake_hopkins Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I agree, but surely, it must be reasonable to an extent?Nope, unlimited revisions means unlimited. Although there should be a cap for time, if you offer infinite revisions then you have to provide them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyaxrex Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Your buyer doesn’t want to pay you and is stringing the order along like this to stop it completing. You brought this on yourself by offering unlimited revisions. Cancel the order to save your sanity and stop offering unlimited revisions. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realsavitaa Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Then why are you offering unlimited revisions if you don’t want to provide them?I am providing as per my commitment. But it clear from the buyer’s behaviour that he wants to push it. Since 15 January I am providing revisions and I will provide till he is happy. I just wanted to know is there a way to deal with such buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are offering unlimited revision a lot of people will want to take what they paid for. If you don’t limit your revisions people will ask even for unnecessary revisions even if they are happy with the outcome just to try something else and compare.Solution is easy: never again offer unlimited revisions. And for this situation you can’t do anything else apart from providing unlimited revision. You can only send him a polite message saying that you’ve been working together for quite a long time and maybe it will be best if he can evaluate your work and put all his revisions in one revision request to save time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imagination7413 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Another point for consideration is to have a clear definition in your FAQ on what qualifies as a revision. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
