journeytobeme Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 If a buyer does not do everything they need to do causing me to be late delivering it, why am I the one penalized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg1987 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Try nudging the buyer when that happens before your time runs out to complete the gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artyemarie Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I just sent something about this very thing to “Suggestions and Feedback.” When additional information is required to even start a gig, it seems to make more sense that the seller should be the one to start the clock. Oftentimes sellers provide incomplete information or don’t follow instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vainpaper Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I know the feeling mate!I will message constantly but if they do not respond I can’t do anything about it! If I don’t hear back I just deliver on time and beg them to request modifications to let me know what they need changed.Some people still drop a low rating even if it was their fault. 😦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vainpaper Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Reply to @artyemarie: That’s a fantastic idea!I have had buyers before start the gig clock saying “I’ll send the information ASAP” then I don’t hear from them for days! Very unfair.I suppose sellers could find a way to abuse it as well, i.e. not starting the clock even if the buyer provided all the information.

orcatek Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Yes I have had the same issue. Usually I deliver based upon what they have with a note saying I will revise upon provision of the need material. That lets me meet my agreement to deliver on time. They usually give me what I need right after I deliver, and then I redeliver. So far, so good.Only had one case where there was not enough info provided to deliver a base video, luckily they came thru at the last minute and I still made delivery.

kyutlee Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I think what needs to be done is that the a basic form of what a seller needs as information must be filled out before a buyer can start the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
