Handling Custom Requests Without Getting Burned

How a custom request runs

1. The buyer messages you with an idea: a pose, an outfit, socks or nylons, a clip length, their name on a sign.
2. You agree on what you will make, how many photos or minutes, the deadline and the price in chat.
3. The buyer sends a custom request, or you send a custom offer.
4. You review it and click Accept. This is your chance to say no. The buyer has paid nothing yet.
5. After you accept, the buyer pays at checkout in Cash App, Strike or 25+ other apps. You are paid about 3 seconds later.
6. You upload the photos or clip in the order. The buyer gets them in chat.

You approve first, the buyer pays second. Never upload the finished set before the order shows as paid.

What to charge

• Price the extra work. A 10-photo custom set takes longer than a post, so charge more than your post price.
• Clips: price by the minute and say the resolution, for example "3 minutes, 1080p".
• Put every detail in the offer: number of photos or minutes, outfit, angles, delivery deadline.
• Do not drop your price because a buyer says "last time was cheaper."

Saying no

You can decline anything that makes you uncomfortable. "That is not something I offer" is a full answer. If someone keeps pushing, report them.

If it goes wrong later

A buyer can open an order request if the delivery is missing or not what you agreed. You both have 72 hours to agree on a fix: send it again, full refund or partial refund, paid by you. Keep your chat agreement clear and it rarely gets that far. Details are on the disputes page.
