Orders usually take at least ten minutes to start

[misscrystal]

It used to be that my orders would start promptly after they were purchased but now 9 times out of 10 they take anywhere from five minutes to a couple of hours to start. I watch as the order is placed, send a message saying that the order has not started and is waiting for their information, and still it does not start.

I’m not sure if there is a delay in the system or all these buyers are waiting so long between ordering and putting in the information. Nor do they ever seem to see my messages to them, left within a few minutes often after they place the order.

Are other sellers having this problem?

Yes, 30% of the time, especially with new buyers…I have to tell them how to order on Fiverr, give them links to videos on ordering on Fiverr etc.

This is why you put your prices up. The droolers who want you to do all the monkey work disappear. And they will never reimburse you for that wasted time. I maintain that buyers have a responsibility to at least learn something about the system that they’re using to get work from. Educated consumers are happy consumers.

LOL… I have all the time in the world, so it’s okay…

[emmaki]

I know you do, and so do I, but I guess I’m a little more infected with capitalism 🙂

[writer99025]

I am a capitalist too…but I am in semi-retirement 🙂

[writer99025]

Thing is I like imperfect people since I am imperfect myself, and so I like helping them out in any way I can, whether they appreciate it or not is up to them.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, my friend.

Personally, I’m going to prick a few egos on the way down 😉

[misscrystal]

You said a mouthful.

[emmaki]

I like to be thorough–what can I say?

[emmaki]

It’s not a bad gig idea “I will teach you how to be less of an asshat”

Hey, I got my “your website sucks” gig approved. This isn’t much of a step beyond, bar having to think of a more polite word for asshat. Like “pillock,” “twazzock,” “DUMBledore,” etc.

It’s kind of like being a nasty life coach, or a sadistic PE (gym) teacher

Or… I will #GaryVee your bidnis and windmill your head off for $5"

Think that will get past the censors?

[idostuff4u]

Almost bit my tongue saying that word “bidnis” in my GaryVee voice.

I was nervous for the CRO watching Gary’s hands and arms almost smacking him right in the face.
