A buyer is requesting for $5 gig when my service is $20

[brandcore30]

Hello,

 

A buyer is requesting that I do a basic job for him for $5, but my gig is $20 for a basic package. Is it against Fiverr Terms & Conditions if I gave him a custom order of $5?
Would there any consequence? 

[barrisam]

Nope. There is no consequence. But why do you want to give him a custom offer of $5 when your basic gig is $20?

Buyer said he can only afford $5 at the moment. Will it affect my gig ranking if I accept?

No it will not. You are allowed to sell your services at any price. 
However as we advices you you should be careful with people that try to reduce your price by 4 times. 
If you are ok doing the work for 5$ then it’s ok, but usually those clients are the most problematic ones.

If someone asks something for just 5-$10 which actually deserves $50 or more, then my suggestion is not to get the order. It will harm the reputation of you and your country as. well.

You are free to sell your service for any price, but why would you offer someone a 75% discount? Keep your dignity.

No.

Other than you working for peanuts and possibly being treated like a doormat (those who ask for such discounts are rarely grateful if they get them, they are more likely to be pushy and overdemanding and turn the whole experience into a nightmare), no.

Those who ask for such discounts always come up with an excuse...the question is, if they can only afford $5, why are they contacting you? Why didn't they go straight to a seller who offers that kind of service for $5?

No. It might affect your sense of self-worth, but it's unlikely to affect your gig ranking.

Do not accept if your service is not at that price level, or its better to find a middle ground. If they are persistent then that client is not right for you! Always appreciate your work more! 🙂

No. You are free to offer any price you want in a custom offer. But you shouldn't. I assume you've set your minimum rate for a reason? So why would you work for less? I offer voice-overs. It doesn't matter if a buyer wants 1 word or 150 words: my minimum rate is 20 + commercial rights. I'm not getting off my ass for less.

If the project is less than your basic gig then I think you should do it. And it is not against Fiverr.

if you are new then you can gamble and take up the job, consider the job as internship to add on your fiverr resume, if by any chance the client rates you it will help you sail on fiverr . don't forget to consider the effort and time you will put for the job if its a job that will only take you one hour or two and its not demanding then you can, if the job its too demanding then don't. I once gave a client a 50% discount I did the job so well and client ended up tipping me and ordered from me 3 more times.
