vibronx Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Why would you do that? This is a business platform, not Facebook!Your buyer’s personal life is none of your business. It is also not at all related to your gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catwriter Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Can i ask buyer about something like their profession and life???Can i ask buyer about something like their profession and life???Only if you want them to see you as unprofessional (the best case scenario) or as a crazy stalker or possibly a criminal.Just being casual with him when I have timeWhat makes you think that someone who hires you to do a job wants some idle chit-chat just because you’re bored? If you wish to talk to someone, don’t you have friends and family?How It can be harmful???They could think that you’re unprofessional or a maniac, give you such a terrible feedback that nobody who reads it wants to work with you, report you for highly inappropriate behavior (and you could get permanently banned for that)…What gave you the idea to ask your buyer private questions?

lenasemenkova Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 If it’s in any way related to the service you provide, you can (and should) ask that. If you’re just trying to make small talk, you’re risking to make someone uncomfortable. Don’t do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiakovolana Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 i would say only if such information was important to the gig. otherwise, there really isn’t any point. in a store, a clerk may engage in small talk while your being checked out, but here it could honestly come across as a little creepy, and if you’re not careful you could come across like you’re trying to commit identity theft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j6nyc6 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 If I came across a seller who asked me about my personal life and it had nothing to do with the order, I would tell them to mind their own business, flag their message, and find another seller.

If you’re just trying to make small talk, you’re risking to make someone uncomfortable. Don’t do that.Perfect answer. I think that one may say that, “I am copywriter” or “I am a full time freelancer”or" I am a graphic designer" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
