omanbux Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Hi, Today i received Custom Order Request to edit 4 PDF files within 1 day so i send 20$ offer (5$ per each file). buyer accepted my offer & i have complete that order within 10 minute. so hoped buyer will be happy. after few minutes i have received bellow rating from him & his thinking is really amazing. 😄Also actual order price should be $22 ($20 + $2 processing fee) so i don’t no how he paid $29. i want to explain all these things in my review but there are no option in fiverr new rating system for that… 😦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maanza_55 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Not entirely sure what your buyer means by “shame you did that”. He/she sounds like they’re disappointed that you completed their work extra fast. 🤨 Some buyers, smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to explain that the reason why you can do this in 10-minutes is because you’ve invested in the right tools and you know what you’re doing.They are not paying for your time, they are paying for the result.

Based on the feedback it seems the buyer didn’t really understand your pricing and felt you overcharged them.It’s like when you call a cable guy, they charge you $50 for the visit and it turns out that your TV was unplugged. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They thought it’s a bit more complex and when OP did it in a few minutes they realized it was probably something they should have figured out themselves. I think if OP explained what they did it wouldn’t be the case.I don’t convert PDFs, but just yesterday a buyer came to be asking for a simple slider. I did it in 30 minutes and they paid $80 for it. I don’t know what they would have answered if I just delivered the slider, but I took extra 10min to explain what I did and I’m pretty sure the buyer understands the value of it.

That’s what the OP’s buyer did - they got what they paid for.I’ve got a fault with my car - I was 99% sure what it was, but I needed to go to a garage to get it checked before they ordered the part for fitting etc. Would I need an explanation of how they came to £60+VAT for an hour’s labour? No - that’s what it cost, and that’s what I paid. The fault was exactly what I thought it was, but I’m not moaning about paying the charge - it’s just what it costs. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn’t raise an eyebrow? You thought it would take 1h and it took 2 minutes.We can blame the buyer all day long because they are not here to explain their side, but based on the feedback it’s obvious that the buyer didn’t understand how few minutes translates to $22 and this is something that seller didn’t explain.

miiila Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I think a fair comparison would be if I order a tire change and know when ordering that it costs me $29. And then complain about the price when they are kind enough to do it right away for no premium because I myself would have needed an hour to do it myself and they did it in 10 minutes.Of course, if one has to deal with such customers often, it would make sense to provide an explanation, to avoid such situations, but I don’t think sellers should be generally expected to preemptively guess and explain everything that can go wrong for buyers who might not have common sense.

There are no guarantees.However, for me the point of this category is to share experiences and discussing what can be done differently next time to improve the situation. In this case I think I understand where the customer is coming from and why they don’t see how 10min=$22. There are a few solutions worth trying as well so I think the takeway should be that.I know it’s annoying when someone comes along and says you should have done this or that, but if this thread ends there’s nothing we can do because buyers are bad then it should probably go under Ranting pot 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_maxell Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Same with Voice Overs, they think you just turn on a PC, waffle off some words and press send.When in actual fact for every 1hr of professional VO requires 3hrs of work.Ignorance is bliss i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlogonje_pissa Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 This is so funny.Maybe next time, you should take your time to do the work. Maybe 12 hours?Then they will think you worked for hours on the project. Otherwise they will feel that they have been ripped off.But As a Seller Remember : If Michel Angelo did a painting in 5 Minutes, He could sell it for Over a Million Dollars.
