Thank you so much, Katakatica! This is so helpful and makes a lot of sense.

Hi, I'm in the process of setting up my profile and gigs and I'm still very new to Fiverr and how it works. So please bear with me if my questions are a super basic. I'm trying to figure out how it works with the packages and pricing. I know you have an option to set up 3 packages (basic, standard, and premium). Is there a way to price the packages fairly (or what you believe is fair) without people trying to "game the system" by purchasing the cheaper packages separately because they average out to less than if they purchased the premium? Here's an example of what I mean: Say I offer a blog post writing gig (I'm not, this is just an example). I price the basic at $5 for 500 words, the standard for $10 and 1000 words, and the premium for $50 and 2000 words (these are just random, not reflective of anything being offered right now). Am I right to assume that someone can technically look at that and say, "Hmmm, I want a 2000 word blog post so why don't I just purchase the standard package twice, which would cover the 2000 words and cost me $30 less?" Then, they purchase both packages and say they want me to write them ONE blog post of 2000 words (and not 2 blog posts of 1000 words each which is what the gigs they purchased would essentially mean). Would I be able to tell them that this is something I can't do and I can either give them 2 blog posts of 1000 words each or they will need to purchase the premium package. Obviously, if I'm starting out and still trying to get reviews, then I get it that it would probably be a good idea to agree to the client's proposition, but further down the line, would that be acceptable? Hope this all makes sense! Tam
