The 'client said the budget is flexible' trap got me again
Last month a guy on Upwork told me his budget was flexible for a WordPress fix, so I quoted $400 and spent 3 hours rebuilding his whole site. When I sent the invoice he said oh I meant $40 flexible and ghosted me. Has anyone else had a 'flexible budget' person turn out to be the cheapest on the platform?

Did you ever even get your 40 bucks out of him?

A buddy of mine fell for the same thing on Fiverr, quoted $300 for a logo redesign and the client said sure, then paid $30 and claimed the rest was for "future work." Have you started asking for half upfront now?
