Buyer inbox me, i reply then disapear in nowhere

[dusuacangmon]

I’m pretty confused that buyer just keeping inbox me several day, i answer that i can do this job then no reply back…

10 buyer inbox, 2 order, 8 others just ask and disapear

Some order i didn’t tell price yet, some i give a price.

do you guys have the same problem and how to fix this ?

It’s not a problem. A buyer must be searching for best price and quick turnaround time. So he/they send the same message to every seller they think to be suitable to do their job.

Reply to @sharpieandy: it make me hurt a bit cause i think they really want me to do the job, then i create this topic and i realized they just want to know the price. okay, it fine and it normal thing to market

Reply to @dusuacangmon: The price is all written in the gigs. They just want to test the reply i think. But it still annoying

Reply to @sharpieandy: the price in the gig do not necessary mean that it will work for any request. so it’s a good habit for a buyer to contact first, i presonally prefer that. If they buy right away and after start to deman God knows what it is much worse…

Reply to @sharpieandy: The prices are listed on the gig page, true, but some buyers are trying to get discounts, and some can’t be bothered to read your gig description.

Reply to @ruslancer: agree, because some order need more $$$ to do, can’t do it so cheap with 5$, buyer often ask me for price, i think this good for me to sell higher price

ruslancer: how do you offer buyers price? the price you think is worth for your work?

[dzeeshah]

They contact you to know your response time and your attitude… Impress them by saying check out the work I just finished 2 hours ago and ask them to place order so we can get started on your project asap… If someone asks for quote only give them link of your gig and avoid quoting… Don’t quote first send them such a message which they must answer for example please show me your website I’ll have a look and tell you how to improve things… Time will teach you more I hope my advice helps everyone here… Best Regards

Reply to @dusuacangmon: I have a regular job so I try to apply similar hourly wage here. Alhtough usually it’s much cheaper here, since buyers aks for help, begging to lower the price. The best one was from african guy, when I told him that I would charge 20$ to solve pretty complicated thing on his non standard website he asked to do it for 5 since, as he said, locally he can purchase complete website for this money 🙂
