In some cases, I might-

I find Fiverr to be a fairly decent platform, even if it has the same risks as any other platform. I like that the website lists customer reviews.

My only real complaint is that sometimes, there isn't perfect transparency at disclosing all upfront fees.

For example, I've seen times where there's a certain charge to make the art, but then an additional charge if you want to use it in commercial products.

The bright side is that usually, you can contact an artist ahead to talk about requirements, before purchasing. Some artists even encourage this as part of greater transparency.

...Anyways, I was more saying, though, that Fiverr prices can be a good starting point for negotiations.
