aldodel Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I just noticed that fiverr added new upgrade in delivered files (Fiverr watermark) my theory is the buyer receives a watermarked file and if they accept the work fiverr gives the real file, this is perfect!!! Because many times the buyer ask for other versions of your work and sometimes they use all versions (free work for them), and with this upgrade you can be sure they can´t use it if they not likedMy opinion is that is a very good upgrade :))))I hope my theory is correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renflowergrapx Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 cool but…I have a question:What if… A customer needs to review a design file that requires some small details that are visible only in full resolution, but s/he cant cause of not being able to fully view the product?I mean, ok for the watermark, but for my gig this feature is a double blade weapon =/Suggestions?

deltasierra360 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 This upgrade makes really sense. I am very happy that fiverr released this. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldodel Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 My suggestion is in that case you can send the file in a .zip😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggananderson Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Honestly not a fan of this!..this will only encourage bully-buyers to always reject a gig if they stylistically dislike it, claim that there was “another problem” with the file, and you still won’t get paid for a job that you have already done. Can we opt out of this feature as a seller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idostuff4u Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hi,Yes, you can turn this feature off.Here is the ‘How to’ link from support > http://support.fiverr.com/hc/en-us/articles/216545708-Adding-a-Watermark-To-Protect-Your-Work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojansavikj Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 ??? How does watermark not help you with bully-buyers, when it was created to protect the sellers from them? Let’s say you create a logo and you give it to them without any watermark.Scammy buyer says “This logo is bad, I want refund”You say ok, he uses the logo anyway.With the watermark, you will be protected from such situations because the scammy buyer can’t use a watermark logo.It is indeed a great feature!

govstory Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hi, I am a buyer. And I am not happy with a new feature. I am not using versions I rejected, but I need to see a full size picture without watermark in the middle to be sure that it is what I want for my book. My illustrators won’t mind to send me a picture as an attachment, but all together it will create more work for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bojansavikj Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 You are not a bully-buyer :). But to state that the watermark feature will NOT help you against bully buyers is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisdata Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Finally! That a feature I so hoping for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo0ste Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 When I started out on Fiverr, I had someone that did exactly that! He asked for about 10 silly revisions. I was new (probably still am) but really didn’t want a negative review, so I kept changing it for him, until he said let’s just cancel the order, which I did and then he messaged me saying he’s going to use it anyway…I immediately contacted CS and asked if that’s possible, since at that stage I thought buyers were only able to preview the files (Audio in my case) and then only once they’ve accepted delivery would the file become available to download.CS said that my idea about only having the preview before you accept the delivery was a good idea and that they would look into that.Nothing so far, but this would definitely be a great way of stopping people from using your work for free!Just saying… nudge nudge CS!

aysha2u Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 This is what the Scammy & Bully buyers we have been experienced before, they got kicked out now 🙂 glad to see that finally fiverr had something for sellers too. lolz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldodel Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Also you can send it by order update, or by message, not as deliver button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitrigwrites4u Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 This is great news for many sellers. So now buyers cannot steal the work by saying, ˝Oh I don´t like it, bla…bla…bla…˝ but they run away with your work and get back their money. I can imagine how suck it does when you have spent time and energy to work but then people just steal it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magellon Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 To me it is an excellent feature, not that I need it for my services, but I always felt sorry for those who were likely to be bullied, especially with large orders, where it may be more tempting. Well done Fiverr for protecting your buyers! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy876 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 It’s definitely a good one. They should also include it on some of the photos that the Seller uploads, as sometimes we sellers upload good samples of our work as well, but Fiverr so far, only watermarks the ones that were completed orders that are now visible in the portfolio. Looking forward to further updates in this regard.Regards,Speedy876 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andaluzia Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 As soon as the option was implemented one of my clients was so angry that he couldn’t download the file that he decided to cancel the order. Although you can see the message near the file that you cannot download it until you close the order. I tried to explain to him, but eventually I ended up sending the file via private message.I love this option because it protects sellers from doing work for free, I just wish some buyers would be patient enough to read all the details before getting angry uselessly.

glitchfool Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I’ve never had issues sans watermark. Ive always submitted sketches, and full illustrations via attachments for my clients to review prior to delivering. The watermark is as it’s always been, gimmicky, useless, inconvenient for both sides, and makes you look like a frightened knob. And actually, I still haven’t been able to disable it. Every time I switch it off, it goes right back on. Oh ya, and with a giant “Fiverr” plastered on each of my works, it appears as though Fiverr is the one toiling away revision after revision on any given illustration and not me.No thanks, friendo.
