Complaining from buyers

[julsiji]

Hello everybody! I work on fiverr since 2019 but only lately I’ve been noticing a new approach from buyers. It happened to me, now two times in a row, to be questioned for my delivery timing (usually from 20 to 30 days for a coloured, detailed, multiple characters’ illustration), usually in a very rude way too. 
Now, despite the fact that I’m always ready to accomplish my buyers request, if they are ask with kindness at least, it’s something happened only to me?

When I do my best to offer a shorter delivery (still in my capability of course), or they ask me a lower price or they disappear. 
 

Just wanting to check if it’s a trend or something 🥲

More and more people in your niche are using AI, and thus they have a very fast delivery. If they are not scammers, I assume those people ended up getting accustomed with very fast deliveries, many times generated by AI and slightly touched. I recommend talking with the customer beforehand, stating the delivery time in your first few messages, so they know what they are getting into. Same with setting a custom offer, be sure you specify the delivery time. If they are not ok with it, they will stop on their own  and not make the order 🙂 I know that for a fact because I had a similar situation years ago. I was overbooked, so I had longer delivery times. And some people didn't like it.
