Say ‘no’.

For those of you who do not know me or those of you lurking the threads without logging on; take it from a buyer - know how to say “NO!” If you spend any time reading these forums, you’ll find plenty of posts where a seller, typically new - but not always, say they were scammed or the buyer is holding them hostage. They are literally begging forum members, to help them with a really bad scam artist, who is threatening them with bad reviews or giving them a sob story to get things for free. Rem…

HI Dilipkumar,
As you are new on Fiverr. You are cordially welcome on this platform and on this forum.
You are saying you are charging more than your gig price, and the buyer is asking for a discount. I would suggest you to give him discounts. You will not be at disadvantage at all because by giving discounts your rates will come at original price of your gig.
Being new, focus to build long term relations with your clients.

Thanks.

Hey, Naheedmir.

I am not charging him more, I am giving him more values (quantity) for a less price and in that too he is asking for discount.
