benedictrm Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Umm, you don’t need help from us, or CS, you need to read the TOS.Sending things at people (not to seeing you indicate that you are indeed Spamming) is a clear TOS violation as it is unprofessional in the extreme. If you doubt that, ask yourself how much you love spam?If you want to try for a BR, fill in the application box, maybe link to your Portfolio (using a TOS approved link like YouTube - here’s one of mine: and go do something else. If the buyer is interested they will contact you back. If not, you chasing them is simply spam on a stick. A stick that is no whacking you back.Secondly, I do hope you are not engaging in sending unpaid free examples of you doing their job for them in the hope they pay you. Not only is that supremely unprofessional to ask or do, but you are demeaning yourself by doing it, as it merely says that you are desperate. Do you hire plumbers or dentists who look desperate?🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhammadnoma579 Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Thanks to instruct me, but please tell me how I can send portfolio to them, through buyer request it is not possible to send a sample therefore I send from inbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagination7413 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Simple, you don’t. I see a lot of advice that encourages the freelance tropes - the idea that we’re all workaholic night owls, perpetually hunched over keyboards, waiting at the beck and call of potential clients. Never log out… Always be agreeable to clients… Give free samples or mock ups… Answer right away… If you needed an experienced professional to give you permission, in plain words, here it is: it’s okay to be a human being. Never give out free work. No samples. No mockups. Period. That’s what your po… If you mean general samples, that’s why you make yourself a portfolio so that you can share that instead, just like @benedictrm suggested.

teachernita Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Did the buyer ask you for your samples? If you are sending random samples to random people someone will report you as you are not allowed to do it. Read Fiverrs TOS. There things you are allowed to do and things you are not allowed to do.Can you give me a view or screenshot of this message? Please remember to block out all names, this is also not allowed. (to show names in messages). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janeeditor Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Sir, when they send buyer request after that I send my portfolioSo let me get this straight. You see a buyer request on your feed - note, buyers do not send you buyer requests, they submit buyer requests to the market, which you can see because it matches your gig criteria.Anyway, you see the buyer request, and want to send samples to the buyer. You can’t add attachments to an offer on a buyer request (I don’t have that option, at least), so to try to circumvent the system that specifically prevents you from trying to do that, you send them an unsolicited direct message with samples attached instead.Is this correct?

janeeditor Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I send message directly to buyer in inbox but they someone has reported me.Tell me please; sending a sample to buyer is right way or false to represent previous work?You do realise that it was the buyer who reported you because you broke the TOS, right? So not only have you been reported and got a warning that may result in your being suspended or banned from Fiverr, you have burned that buyer who will never deal with you again.You do not send samples to your buyers. You send an offer to the buyer request and if they want to, they can go to your gig and see if they like what you have done. If they don’t want to go look, then move on, there’s nothing more you can do.You cannot send samples to buyers unless they have specifically asked for them. No wonder you got warned. If you do it again, you might find yourself banned permanently from Fiverr and for good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janeeditor Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 OK, thanks to help me. Can I ask from buyer to send sample through buyer request.Yes, you can ask them if they would like you to send them a sample of your work, but that is what your portfolio is for. They can go to your gig and your gig should show samples. That is literally what a portfolio is!If you are talking about creating something to send them, then do NOT do that. Never do work for a buyer before you have a contract or they have no obligation to pay you for anything you have done.If a buyer chooses to not respond to your offer, then there is nothing more you can or should do. Move on to the next job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you say that you are great it means nothing unless you can show it with things you have made yourself (not templates). Saying you are great but not showing it makes you look like a fibber which only chases people away.🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
