  1. It's always a gamble to choose a new seller, sometimes that gamble certainly pays off, I've been the first buyer to give a new seller her first gig, a punt which turned out to be a fantastic result and a continued relationship throughout a project over a few purchases, every time my review was able to include an example from the gig which boosted her profile to now she's quite busy and I'm very happy for her. That time the punt, the gamble paid off for both parties, however that was the exception, not the rule as I've been burnt far more times to now I'm extremely wary. The advice I can give to a New Seller is have a consistent gig, consistency is key, I cannot stress this enough. If it's art, then make it be clear that the art is all from the same artist, if the drawings are all of wildly different from each-other with some being high-resolution, others being tiny and stretched out, then the only fair assumption that can be made is the seller dragged a bunch of pictures from Google Images they liked onto the profile without any care for rhyme or reason. I understand that if the art is legitimate and different styles are wished to be shown then that is tricky, but I've seen many good examples where they're collated into a montage picture with text underneath each outlining the style, then posting them separately for closer inspection. Remember that reverse-image search is a thing, I can easily take an image uploaded and it look it up to see where the source is and if it's from some wallpaper site then I'm going to have more red flags than a Lifeguard Supply Shop. Don't lie, don't steal, be truthful in what you can and cannot do. That's all before the text, calling oneself an expert, using words like "extraordinary" whilst having double spaces in the description sends very mixed messages. Also once contact is made, if out of the gate I'm called a "sir" then I'm more often than not tempted to drop it right there, this is why I rarely use the Request function any more, it's all just copy and paste spam. Being a new seller is very hard, I don't envy that position and it requires a mix of hard work with luck to break out of it, but never ever lie.
