lempamusic Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hi everyone my name is Lempa i’m from the Netherlands,I just want to share something that happend to me 2 days ago,I bought a logo design from a 4.8 star seller. The next day i found exactly the same design on pinterest.com i’d like to warn all buyers that you can’t always trust good rated sellers. And if you bought a logo design use google to check if your design is unique.I have contacted the support team they gave me my money back and they gave me the option to rate the seller again.I’d prefer to expose the seller in this forum but i don’t know if i’m allowed to do so.Regards,Lempa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My logic is that if they are willing to steal a description then there’s a good chance they have also stolen logos. I pick 2-3 unique sentences from the description and do a search in Google.Then I also check the reviews. I mostly check the negative reviews to see how the seller has responded to those. I want a seller who can explain what was the root cause of the low rating and remain professional in their response.Sometimes I also do a username search in Google. Logo designers usually post their work on multiple platforms using the same username. If I can find a genuine portfolio from the same seller then that’s a plus.Last but not least, if everything checks out then I also send them a message with my requirements. Why? I know that even a single cancellation for a seller can lead to demotion so I always ask if they wish to do the job or not. Secondly, it helps me evaluate their communication skills.
