Hello there ladies!!
I know there s an ELM thread already but I wanted to make a separate post so hopefully more girls see it and can give me your opinion here.
I don t know about you but for me, that site has been DEAD lately, I haven t had any sales on ready to download videos in like weeks...
The other day, this guy, username: "custom" contacted me,he wanted a 5 mins long video of me changing 5 outfits ( of course 5 mins weren t enough so the video was like like 6 mins long but that s fine).
He made a 15 credits escrow ( I usually charge 30 credits for a 10 mins vid and 15 for a 5 mins one, wish I could charge more but it seems this s the only way I get to sell some custom work there every now and then.
I delivered the video 2 days later and he said he wasn t happy with it cause I don t show my whole body on the video... ( he didn t state he wanted that and yes, maybe I should have done it but..), I thought aiming the camera down after putting every outfit on and turning around would do it ( I ve been on that site since 2010/2011 and this s the 2nd time a customer is not happy with a video I make...) so he offered to cancel the escrow and make a new one for half the credits ( so that would be like 7 credits) and I didn t think that was worth it, considering the % I keep, the time to make the video and the fact that he already had my first video... without reading the wiki area first I told him to ask for a full refund ( thinking i would still get paid) and then I realized it didn t work that way...
But anyways, I still told support to give him the money back so I didn t have to deal with such a picky customer..
On a 2nd note, maybe my mistake was to not pay attention to his escrow statistics, take a look and let me know what u girls think but I think a buyer that has cancelled 19 escrows so far makes me wonder if he says he s not happy with the video so he can get a 2nd video at half price or for free.....
I mentioned this to him and he said it was cause girls accepted the escrows and after a month of not making the video he cancelled them.... ( can someone tell me if that s true? I think I read something different on the wiki area..)
So here are his stats:
the average days to get the jobs delivered was 5.2 or something...
Not Accepted In Progress Seller Cancelled Buyer Cancelled Completed Admin Cancelled Seller Completed Avg. Delivery (days) 13 22 30 19 13 3 24
I was very honest with the admin and told him I preferred this guy to get his money and not have to deal with him anymore than to waste time making another video and who knows? maybe he " wasn t gonna be satisfied" either....lol
Sometimes I wonder, do these guys think we are soooo desperate for money that we are gonna let them ruin our day or feel stressed so we can make a few bucks??
He can keep his 15 credits and my video, I ll block his ass and I ll be taking a break from that site anyways.
I m about to have my Southern charms page built and I ll be focusing on that instead, from what I heard, I m supposed to make more $$ there so that s what I ll do.
Needless to say, if some of u had to deal with him I d like to know your experience.
Thanks for reading my post and have a great week girls!!
Melanie
