drawforever Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 This buyer of mine on the first and second day he replied to me. That is until I mentioned that it is my policy to start the work after I receive a place order. After that, I didn’t receive the buyer’s reply for two days now. Also the fact he didn’t really confirm on what he wants so I had to ask him again to confirm.So did I scare him off with a lot of questioning or did I scare him off because I will not work for free first then get paid later? Or maybe I should wait until he replies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawforever Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Reply to @vedmak: True. He would have purchase my gig. I did a background check on the buyer. He seems like a person who would buy and leave an honest feedback on his previous purchases. Maybe I should wait and see if he replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drawforever Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Reply to @vedmak: I will post work samples and my gig link in My Fiverr Gigs at certain timing when most people are active. I don’t think I will offer the buy 1 get 1 free because buyers will come to expect that even if I didn’t offer anymore. $5 is already a bargain so I’m not going to offer anymore than that. As for drawing for free, I create some samples base on my own ideas then. (Still I will not draw for free for strangers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musiclover Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Don’t worry about the one buyer; there will be more. Fiverr is setup to get order/paid, then deliver work. Never vice versa. A lot of buyers will turn out to be just tire kickers. You don’t want to seem desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soldierdollar Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It’s customary for buyers to make enquiry. You might just be 1 out of 20 sellers confronted by the same buyer. Don’t raise your hopes too high… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawforever Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Reply to @musiclover: The way some buyers worded their questions, it’s like they wanted my service or rather desperately need it but when I reply to them sometimes they reply and sometimes they don’t. Either way I’m just confused on whether they want my service or they do not want it. I’m not that desperate really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musiclover Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Reply to @drawforever: Well it seems like you’ve done your part. If someone wants it, they will order it. They’re either too busy to reply or found someone else. There’s nothing much you can do until they respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankee77 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I wouldn’t look too much into it… I get alot of messages from buyers, sometimes they end up going away and forgetting about it, sometimes they order, sometimes they go away then order out of the blue weeks later!

psychic_kate Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have only read a couple people on here but I would assume it’s the same with anyone that you basically get a lot of people who say and ask have a request for a gig but only the ones who are serious about getting answered or getting the service actually place and order.
