Hey there, I hope you're all doing well. I'm Zacid, a student who's also a 3D artist on Fiverr. A few years back during summer vacation, I found myself with a lot of free time, so I decided to learn some new skills. I've always been fascinated by computer graphics and the amazing results developers achieve. I dove into YouTube and started exploring the world of 3D graphics. It's like a deep sea, and the more I learn, the more I discover about this incredible field. Initially, it was just a hobby, but then someone introduced me to Fiverr, where I found out I could earn money doing what I love. After some research and learning about the platform's mechanics, I published my GIG in April 2020. Soon enough, I started receiving orders, and it was a life-changing moment for me. Now, I can pay my college fees, buy things I've always wanted, and do so much more. The earnings on Fiverr may not be significant for everyone, but it varies depending on where you live. For example, $500 could be a lot for some and nothing for others. Later on, a person from Nigeria contacted me (please note, I'm not trying to offend anyone; I'm just sharing my experience). They shared a project reference image with me, and we discussed the project requirements and budget. The project was about creating a custom 3D avatar for VRChat, and it was an exciting opportunity as Metaverse and VR were gaining popularity. I completed the project successfully, and that person told his friends to contact me. From there, my journey with these people began. Their working process was a bit different. They contacted me from a buyer profile claiming to be from countries like Sweden, United Kingdom, United States, etc. But, when I asked them to place the order, they requested to send the custom offer to their friend. I knew it was against Fiverr rules, but they insisted, saying it would help a poor person like me. I didn't want to lose the project, so I reluctantly agreed. As time passed, they started placing orders directly on a single account, making it easier for me. I've also worked with people from Germany, Canada, Australia, etc., but something felt odd whenever a person from Nigeria contacted me. Their body language and the way they presented the project requirements seemed unusual, as if copied from someone else. One day, I received project requirements stating a budget of $400, but when I confirmed, the person said it was only $20, claiming it was a mistake. That's when I realized these Nigerian people were reselling my projects at much higher prices. It seemed like a scam, and unfortunately, they were using my project images all over the internet, even claiming they were the creators. I reported this to Fiverr, but their response was disappointing. They suggested contacting those individuals to remove the images, but that never happened. These scammers have a whole setup in Nigeria where they deceive people, pretending to teach skills, but their main agenda is fraud. They operate from smartphones and can't even open the files I send them. It's been 2-3 years dealing with them, and I'm frustrated. For some reason, people from other countries rarely contact me for projects, and I can't figure out why. I have over 3 years of experience, completed numerous projects, and I'm skilled enough to handle any project related to my field, but it's been challenging to attract higher-paying projects. I must admit, dealing with these Nigerian scammers (please note, I'm not trying to offend anyone; I'm just sharing my experience) has been disheartening. I know not everyone from Nigeria is like that, as I've met some amazing people too. Nevertheless, I've had enough of this situation. Whenever I try to protect my work by adding watermarks or offering licenses to buyers, they cancel the project and even report my account, leading to warnings from Fiverr. It's been a tough journey, and I feel like I'm at a loss. I know this is a long message, and I might not receive a reply, but I had to share my story here since I have no one else to turn to for advice. If anyone knows a solution to my problem, please guide me. Warm regards! 😊

hi there Bhathiya i understand your worries that in these days fiverr is full of scammers. you can ask the buyer that "why he canceled the order" in the mean while contact customer support and tell them about the current situation the fiverr support will guide you and might tell you to block the buyer and to report him but sadly the project cannot be recovered i also got scammed from several people on fiverr but i prefer that you should continue to provide best service and hope that you will get a nice project in future which can recover the loss Thanks Thanks

hi there, i delivered an order today and just got this notification and according to my thoughts this will be highly effective policy in terms of business growth let me know what you guys think

same here i have some previous buyers but havent got a new buyer to work with last week i got a notification of buyer briefs i contacted the buyer and i have to say it was the worst experience with that person so according to my thoughts buyer briefs are making things more complex

hi there you can modify the order delivery time and even if the buyer is not responding sadly you have to cancel the order by saying that the buyer is not responding

hi there i understand your worries sometimes these types of situation also happened to me i am a lead CG artist and before starting any project and before sending the custom offer to a buyer i send them at least one WIP after the first update they can place the order but sometime they dont replay i prefer instead of blocking them or marking them as spam leave them and delete the chat because sometime a buyer is busy in some other things and they might contact you after a while last week a buyer contacted me and he wants a 2 month old pending project and we completed it nicely wish you good luck !

hi there! i understand your worries sometime fiverr algorithm make some mistakes or as shafain876 it might be a copyright issue i prefer contacting fiverr support and tell them about this issue they will guide you well.

hi there! if you are new to fiverr and made the account a few days ago i prefer that you should send the link of your gig to your social media accounts to boost the traffic on the gig send custom offers daily groom your gig and profile by making flawless thumbnails and providing additional things that no one does and considering that you are new so the basic package will be of 5$ but when you got some orders and become level one seller i prefer increasing the price make more then one gig but all the other gigs must provide different services but related to one medium like Graphic designing Thanks

you can share your gig link to your social media accounts to boost the traffic on the gig and always sent buyer requests daily in this way you can get orders also you can improve your GIG gallery and description to attract buyers if you have the promoted GIG option you can promote a gig so you can get some big projects THANKS

Hi there Thanks for your response sir and thanks for these great tips i will surly act upon your kind advices sir

hi there i understand your worries and mistake happens you can contact fiverr customer support and tell them about your transaction immediately

hi there i understand your worries but have you shared your GIG to you social accounts and have you sent the offers to buyer requests
