Copyright discussion

[grace_sweeney]

I just reached out to someone about purchasing some illustrations and asked about copyright. They replied, "And for the copyright, we can talk more further about that later we have a deal on the cost." I'm pretty new on Fiverr still, so I don't know if this is normal or not, but I have a bit of an odd feeling about this reply.... Not really sure though. Thoughts?

If they're not going to tell you about the copyright before you have a deal on the cost then you could contact another seller. Obviously you should know what the copyright status of the delivery will be before agreeing to a price.

Though the seller is supposed to put on their gig any copyright restrictions really and if they don't mention any the copyright is supposed to go to the buyer after delivery. But if the seller isn't being open about copyright before the order and won't tell you whether you'll have the copyright then it's probably too risky to go with them if you need the rights (they probably want to charge you a lot extra for the copyrights when you agree to the price without them).

Okay, thank you.

Don't copy other images, gig descriptions, or other things. Just saw your own creativity.
