natalia_20161 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Hello Freelancers,I need your advice. Yesterday late evening there was an order placed on 1 of my gigs. There were no task details on the order, neither any message from the Buyer with the task in my communication Inbox. I asked him for details through Order messages and via Inbox messages (communication one). No reply. In around an hour I resent my both messages asking what he wants me to do and for details. No reply. As it was already quite late in my country and daytime in his country, I thought that I might have his reply in the morning and went to bed. This morning I checked - Silence. So, he has not given any task and has not replied to my messages. But time is flying, the time counter is working and I don’t know what to do in such situation. Would appreciate advice from those who had experienced the same problem and/or who knows what to do in such situation. Many thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbaas Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Did you have any automated requirements that he would be forced to fill out so that the order could start counting down? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natalia_20161 Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 No, it’s the first time I have received such order. Usually buyers discuss details in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into your gig, edit the requirements, and then those questions you write will be presented to every buyer when they place their order. The order will not start counting down until the buyer answers those questions. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natalia_20161 Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 He has already placed the order, but did not give any requirements, tasks or any details of what he wants to be done- just the order was placed and that’s it. I even have asked him in 1 of my messages if the order was placed by mistake, but again no reply from him… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunawanguan Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I suggest to extend the delivery time.I have a lot of buyer that is doing the thing like that and once they return some of them Said there were suddenly thing they need to do right after they place their order.Usually I wait until 3 days and if there is still no response then better to cancel it but still keep contacting the buyer in some period to check maybe they have been ready for the job.
