  1. Ugh. Dealing with the middle person instead of the actual end client can be a hassle. It is up to you to determine your policy on samples but just be aware that there are numerous "buyers" who just want something for free and have no intention of ever placing an order. The safest policy would be no money, no work. If you do offer samples, inserting a constant tone or noise into the audio to "mark" it may be good idea.
  2. So, you reluctantly agreed to perform extra work for no extra pay and still came away with a negative review? 😵Should have nipped it in the bud and requested a cancellation of the order once the buyer showed their true colors. Establish your terms and boundaries and stick with them. Simply saying something doesn't mean much if you aren't willing to back them up with appropriate actions.
  3. Wait, so you've had a similar situation before (as shown by Lloydsolutions) and are basically asking the same question as you did previously? 🤨 Are you expecting a different answer this time around?
  4. Not being comfortable with the content that you are to perform is more than enough a valid reason to discontinue the order and block the buyer from purchasing from you in the future. Inform CS of the situation but they will likely want you to relay your feelings to the buyer as well in the form of a cancellation request. It would help strengthen your position if you have clearly stated on your gig page/FAQ/order requirements section the type of script content you are unable or unwilling to perform. Hopefully, the cancellation is accepted and CS restores your order completion stat, but there will likely still be some lingering negative impact from the cancellation on your gig visibility.
  5. If I am not required to dress up as a cowboy, knight, or retro sleazy car dealer, then I most closely resemble a street vagrant. 😅
  6. It seems you've already made up your mind. Don't really get the dig against "Capitalsts." 🤨
  7. DON'T. One seller, one account. Anything else would be attempting to cheat the system and most definitely deserves a ban.
  8. I hope Fiverr corrects the clear (and self admitted) issue and instead of dispensing warnings, bans both accounts. 🤦‍♂️
  9. I think relevant keywords to ones particular gigs are more impactful than simply choosing common or uncommon keywords. There are upsides and downsides to being potentially too niche or too general, but choosing keywords that aren't relevant to what you offer won't help one iota.
  10. How to place an order and how to receive orders are vastly different questions. From having a new account with new gigs to being a master within a few days time is quite the feat!
  11. The brass tacks: Offer something people will want, present it in an appealing and coherent manner and have it reasonably priced. If your gigs don't differentiate from the mass of other gigs in that category, then don't be surprised if buyers overlook it as well.
  12. Unless if the order is done so poorly that the buyer has to resort to purchasing another seller to properly complete the task...
  13. First, I would recommend you remove unlimited revisions from all your offered gigs. Your gig images are brightly colored, but plain, with lots of text and several small, hard to see symbols/images inserted. The more concise the text, the better. There are grammatical issues with your gig descriptions, gig titles, and gig images. That's all that immediately jumped to my mind.
  14. Never should a seller have to pay a "buyer" for the "opportunity" to work for the very same "buyer." Any "buyer" requesting any money from a seller is not a buyer but instead a scammer.
  15. It ranges from possibly being the very next moment to never again. 🤷‍♂️ Consistency in receiving orders, particularly for new freelancers, is hard to come by and never assured.
