Is it okay to give a sample to the buyer based on his request?

Is it okay to give a sample to the buyer based on his request? I have a case where a buyer wants me to make 25 property renders (usually I only get 3 renders per buyer) and he also sends 1 property reference. then he told me to make a sample rendering first of the 1 property image he sent and he said I can add my watermark.

Even though I mentioned that he could see my work in my gallery gigs but he still wanted me to work on the design he gave as an sample. After I saw his profile, he also made gigs about editing in photoshop but no one has ordered since November 2021.
I was suspicious of him and I refused by saying "Sorry I can't help you. Good luck, Photoshop Master".
Finally he blocked me.

The second question is, will it affect my gigs if the buyer blocks me in the inbox?

You could offer him a custom order for 1 project.

Personally I found so many buyers who offers different services (higher or basic level) from their interest.

While replying to a person in message, better reply directly without any criticize perspective i.e you used "Photoshop Master" unless he told you personally his title like this.

 

I don't think this block will give a negative impression on gig. However, I suggest you to think out of the box to handle tough buyers.

Yeah, I felt bad about calling him that title because I thought I should be more humble. I got a little carried away because he insisted he didn't want to pay before he got the project samples. I'd recommend purchasing one rendering at a time, but he wouldn't. 

I'm grateful that it doesn't have any effect on my gigs.

It's your right to refuse work you aren't comfortable with but the "photoshop master" was insolent and unprofressional. There's no need to resort to name calling.

Thank you. I regret it after I did it. I won't do that again.

Not necessarily, if you believe in your work, you can give them the option to cancel the order if they don't want the final delivery.
