kaitlinhastwois Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Has any seller ever done this? I was proofreading a buyer’s document when I read through a section that was very offensive to me and I knew very harmful for other people to read. I refuse to play a part in the publication of something like that, so I asked the buyer if they would agree to mutually cancel the order. I’ve had it for less than three hours, so I’ve given the buyer plenty of time to find a new seller.The subject in question is very near and dear to my heart and I was just not willing to help someone else destroy it for four bucks, no matter if it makes my cancellation rates go up.

lisha5684 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Yes, you can cancel if it’s not appropriate for you. And you should also put somewhere in your gig description that they should message you before ordering if they feel it’s even the slightest bit possible that it might inappropriate material.

cheezees Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 As long as you remain respectful, I don’t see why not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoetrain Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Do your thing, if you’ve got strong morals, stick to them. Certainly something to be said for that.This also might be a good time to update your gig and say you won’t work with hate or obscene material.

musiclover Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Reply to @yoetrain: I agree about editing your gig. Even though 90% of the buyers won’t read it, its still good to have. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaitlinhastwois Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 It’s a controversial subject (even though it really shouldn’t be, given that we live in the 21st century), unfortunately. I did have a brief mention of the general topic on my gig, listed as one of the things I have a special interest in and therefore would be much more motivated and able to go above and beyond in an order that involved that topic. So either they didn’t read that, didn’t understand what I was saying, or were trying to “help me” by sending me their work.I stayed as respectful as I could while still remaining honest and I can only hope the same courtesy will be extended to me.

trafficsender Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Sure you can mutually cancel orders like that.Although I think unless something is against the Fiverr TOS or illegal/adult or really offensive, you should think about whether to cancel or not.

pengu_desu Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Of course you can cancel it!As for mentioning the list of the topics that you find inappropriate you could simply create a video for it, since not everyone reads the description, videos almost always catches people’s attention so it’s a good method to ‘put it out there’. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
