Sneaky Buyers

[missashley8705]

I’m fairly new to Fiverr (little over a month). I just recently started getting real jobs which is great! It seems like once you get one 5 star rating, all the other buyers start coming in. It’s really encouraging!

Anyway my real point is that in the beginning I was getting requests but the buyers wanted to s***e or for me give them my phone number ect. At first I was wondering if that was normal but then I realized that it’s definitely not. I started copying and pasting the Fiverr terms of service section that says you can’t do that and then I would never hear from that “buyer” again. It was almost like they were trying to see what they could get away with because I was new. Since I started getting real buyers, it seems like the sneaky buyers disappeared.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Note to other new sellers: You will start getting real buyers, don’t feel pressured by the ones that ask you to break the rules. It’s not worth losing your account or not getting paid!

Thanks robert! I learned to check out the buyer too because most of the sneaky ones have no ratings and no info… Usually a sign of scammers.
