logicat Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Hi, i want to create a gig about drawing animated characters. I'd like to keep the sketching part of the order outside the order itself. I saw many similar gigs and often the seller invites the buyer to contact him/her before ordering, sometimes to send the buyer a pre-order sketch. I'd like to work on the order when the basic sketch has yet been defined, but i don't understand if this pre-order work is accepted by Fiverr and if it could lead to issues with the buyer when working on the order. In your opinion should i consider the sketching operation as part of the order, or can i create the (basic) sketch before the order starts ? If possible i'd like to limit the amount of message exchanges with the buyer, to optimize the time spent working on the order. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leannelrivers Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 If I were you, I'd add that to your gig price as part of the order. If there's no guarantee that a basic sketch leads to an order then you're wasting your own time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enunciator Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 "Can i create a sketch drawing before getting the order?" You can, but that doesn't mean you should. A deceptive "prospective buyer" might inquire about a possible order just to get a free sketch and run off into the night. Safest policy to follow is, no money, no work.
