A buyer placed an order including fast delivery, redesign, programming, … a lot of things

He’s a newbie, I think that it’s his first order

One day after delivering the product he says “I’m not satisfied, could you cancel the order”, what? The problem is not the product, it’s that he doesn’t know what he needs

I’ve been working 36 hours on this project, replying to many questions and doing more things than the ones he ordered

What would you do?

  1. Cancel
  2. Report to Customer Support
  3. Say “You can’t request a cancellation when the project is completed”

I chose #3

Report to customer support and if the problem is solve then it’s fine. If the problem is not solved and I didn’t do much effort on that project, I would consider it as a bad experience and leave it and be careful next time. If I did much effort, wasted lots of time and still they don’t solve the issue, I would say and do things I shouldn’t do.

But If it’s my mistake, I would accept it and give refund.

@zeeshan_tirmizi I totally agree

Hello. I have a seller who asks extra work than the gig describes. I have already explained to him , rewritten the gig description, opened a dispute…nothing. Meanwhile, the order is done and delivered, he asks as revision something which is an extra. How can I solve this? I Where is the customer support option?

Same matter happened with me.
When I completed my work and delivery it, buyer say me he needs more.
Then I report to customer support but they are unable to force the buyer to accept my work.
Finally, I canceled this order.
Because I’m helpless. 😭

Hi
I think you really need to workout with the buyer in the first place as communication is the key to success, as you said that you think it’s his first order so he may be confused and a bit scared too and may be he don’t know Fiverr in detail as well so you really need to make him feel comfortable and try to go an extra mile with him. If the problem still persists then the best option is to contact customer support and cancel the order without effecting your rank and cancellation rate as in this case the buyer is the initiator of the cancellation not you.
Thanks

what to do when the buyer wants to cancel the order after it’s completed and leaves this as a reason: “I do not want to work with this seller. I dont care if he delivers the work I dont want the files.” (he didn’t read all the gig description so he expected more).

the answer from CC: “However, keep in mind we also cannot force a buyer to accept a delivery. Please continue to follow up with your buyer and see if you are able to reach an agreement.”

This is very encouraging for buyers with moody personality and a deceiving experience as user of this platform.

Yeah it seems true that they are encouraging the buyers but they are not believe me, there are just good and bad buyers that’s it. The best solution to that is to cancel that order and move on instead of wasting time and energies on that issue. Believe in yourself there is a lot more good coming your way.

some buyers do this intentionally, they get back their money and get the files(even if they say they don’t want it) Just keep one thing in mind, ratings are important and such buyers will end up rating you badly and would affect, so i advise you to forgo the money and effort so you can secure more in the future…Had an experience like this with a buyer…He didn’t know what he wanted, asked to cancel, i declined,i was trying to work it out with him,he started replying late even if he was online then the order completed and he dropped a 1.7 rating.My first negative rating in over 240 jobs…Some people are just negative personally and they don’t want to talk things through.You just have to know which buyer can be reached and which ones can’t be and save your account

If they’re not satisfied, they should request a revision, not a cancellation. With what little information you provided (you said you spent 36 hours on the Gig) you deserve to be paid.

I would contact CS so they can look over the order for you and give you pointers and refer the Buyer to Fiverr’s Order Cancellation Policy if they’re “demanding” to cancel.

From the sites policy: “Orders are not eligible to be cancelled based on the quality of service/materials delivered by the seller if the service was rendered as described in the Gig page.”

https://support.fiverr.com/hc/en-us/articles/201505116-Order-Cancellation-Policy

This same policy is also in Fiverr’s Terms of Service, which the user agreed to during sign up. If they are unfamiliar with the sites processes, it would be suggested they need to do so before ordering in the future.

You’re not at fault but caution is needed when working with the buyer (you might have to hold their hand a little and explain things, but be firm with not cancelling). You did the work and deserved to be paid––Fiverr’s policy supports you on this, so cite it.

Good luck!

Hi @sergio_yanes

I have had this problem when 1 over emotional buyer placed an order for website redesigning. I had a really bad time with him but i have learned something.

I will suggest you to communicate with the buyer and see if you both can agree on something. If not cancel the order and go ahead. Never work with the buyer who doesn’t show entrust in your work or doesn’t have knowledge about the work. They always put you in trouble.

Hi aneelasyed!

Does it not effect the completion rate and your gig ranking if the buyer initiates the cancel request even though he mentions seller cannot do the job?

Also how does it effects if the buyer places order and opens a dispute in the next moment mentioning he needs to get the draft designs/sketch redone so cannot continue. Thanks!

Dear sergio,

Same just happened to me. I wonder why fiverr don’t take any action to this.this is not fair at all for sellers like us.

One of my buyer keep asking revisions for more than 6-7 times and finally after I delivered the good quality work he accept it and say that the seller does not meet his expectations and file a dispute.

I reported the buyer to fiverr CC.

But these kind of disrespectful buyers waste our time and effort !!!

I only pray the god to give those cheat human a good punishment nothign else can do within FIVERR.

This is second time a ******* guy, first was a ******** guy. CHEAP PEOPLE !!

Mod Note: Country/region reference removed.

It happens to me twice today (one client). After the completion of the order (one month after), he suddenly cancelled the order but the sad part is, he purchased the source file so I feel so tricked. I assumed he already downloaded the file before reporting a dispute. What is the preventive measure for this?
