I know hundreds of Nightmare experiences
What about these?:
1- The client that does not want to give you any information, you ask him several times but he refuses to make their part or be cooperative.
Example:
Seller: "i know that you want a graphic with a car included, can you please name a car model or kind of car you want in there?"
Client:" You are the expert, work your magic"
After that you explain you do handcrafted work but the client remains to say the same "read my mind" thing
You deliver and the revision arrives with the client mentioning he was thinking he wanted to see a different car and model.
Now i just need to press CTRL+(carmodel) key on my keyboard and it should be designed as magic!.
2- The one that threats you saying he knows someone from customer support... you report him and you realize he keeps doing the same and lives forever on the platform with no consequences.
3- The one that contacts you mentioning he only had bad experiences in the plattform, he even dares to mention their past orders being refunded!...for me this is a big warning light. A client with very high expectations nobody can please.
4- The one that was expecting to see several "iterations" of your work with no adding any extra. Sometimes they promise a tip for the work to be done or future projects...of course, these are false promises.
5- The ones that threat you with a bad review, or the ones that ask you for something extra before closing the order
"i will leave a very good review IF you do this or that" what if not?
6- The one that needs to consult every change with a team of members and each one of them ask for a change or wants something different...i wonder why they do not make a decision before ordering what they need.
7- The one that canceled the order and still uses the work you did.
8- The ones that leave a raging review because the order was closed automatically... always have a sick parent and they were unable to check the order earlier.
9- The ones that ask for impossible stuff
Example: Attached is a picture of my girlfriend, i want her to be facing front (the picture attached is from a profile view)
10- You explain to the buyer something wrong in the order and still want to continue even with those mistakes, after delivery he wants to correct those mistakes you explained.
Lately, i just refuse to work with people that just arrive demanding with not even say a Hi, or hello. I've learned to trust my gut, unfortunately, this will continue happening, there are a lot of abusive buyers and the system was made to be on the client side. Also, there are lots of sellers that would be willing to accept all these behavior to get a little money, so clients assume all of us work the same.
All these kinds of clients along with:
-The clients that order by mistake
-Other sellers asking you to give them work
-The ones that send you viruses inside a zip file to get in control of your account, or a link to a phishing site.
I can mention a lot more but i am afraid i am dealing with another Demandogorgon right now, so i need to RUN!
