trevorsaccount Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I have no idea what to do.I have never used Fiver before and just received my first order of a video madewhere do i find my videohow do i play itdo i need to accept the delivery in order to watch the video. if so, can i still request revisions? I do not know what to do
fonthaunt Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Did you purchase a video from a seller on Fiverr? Did you get a notification saying that your order was ready?If you got a notification, it would have this at the top:To the right of the delivery message, it should show a downloadable file like this:
trevorsaccount Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 nope. i can’t download the video because there is a bug on the sellers end, apparently. the video will not appear on my screen at all
trevorsaccount Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 nope. there is no downloadable file at all. my seller says there is a bug on her end that will not allow the video to showit says order will be complete in three days. what if it takes that long to fix this bug? i will lose out on time to request revisions if any are necessary
jonbaas Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 nope. there is no downloadable file at all. my seller says there is a bug on her end that will not allow the video to showit says order will be complete in three days. what if it takes that long to fix this bug? i will lose out on time to request revisions if any are necessarynope. there is no downloadable file at all. my seller says there is a bug on her end that will not allow the video to showAsk the seller to send the file via Drop Box. There is no excuse for the seller not delivering what you ordered, and then saying, “oh, well, there’s a “bug”, I can’t deliver the file.” MAKE the seller deliver what you ordered. That is your legal right in that buyer-seller contract.And contact Customer Support so that they can investigate this alleged “bug”.

fonthaunt Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I am having a bug , when i upload the video and it gets completed then suddenly everything stopsthat is the message i received from the sellerare bugs common in videos?The only time bugs are common is if the video is very long or something. (Not really a bug, just a technical limitation.) You need to press the request modification button to be sure the order doesn’t auto-complete. As jonbaas said, tell the seller to put the video in Dropbox and send you a download link. If they don’t do so immediately I would notify Customer Support.Create a Support ticket here.

This is why Drop Box (or an allowed platform similar to it) might be helpful. Upload “bugs” would not be a problem with an approved file-sharing option.

Would that work?
Anna Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I have experienced upload issues in the past.I would also suggest a delivery via Dropbox link or Wetransfer.Your seller can also try a different browser.

I prefer Dropbox because I know it’s safe, but another cloud option is all right as long as it doesn’t require the exchange of personal info, email or anything like that.

You click on it and it will open the DP file. There is a little download symbol (arrow) which allows you to download the video file onto your computer.Same with Wetransfer.

fonthaunt Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I just find it very strange that a computer science grad in university can’t reply for an hour because they are figuring out how to fix a bugDoes the seller have a lot of reviews or could they be new?
trevorsaccount Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 Does the seller have a lot of reviews or could they be new?9 reviews. 5 stars overall rating
fonthaunt Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 9 reviews. 5 stars overall ratingThat is still pretty new, so they may not have run into a problem like this before. I wouldn’t assume it’s deliberate yet, but if they don’t get you something within a few hours, you really should bring Support into it.
trevorsaccount Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 Does the seller have a lot of reviews or could they be new?here is what bothers me…there is a 12 hour time difference between the seller and myself. this morning at 7 a.m. my time, said it was uploading, then i come home from volunteering all day around 4 p.m. and i had to send a message again tonight to ask where the video was. if somebody paid me to make something and i couldn’t deliver, i would be in communication with them a lot more…

If the seller is not a native English speaker, they may be having trouble with communication. However, it is possible it’s deliberate, so that’s why I’d say that you should hit the request modification button to stall the clock and contact Support if you don’t get something soon. They can sort it out for you, but forum users can only give you advice.

fonthaunt Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 oh? requesting modification will stop the delivery clock?that’s a great ideai will do that right nowYes, the order cannot be marked complete if you request a modification. That should always be your first stop if there is a questionable delivery. It doesn’t hurt the seller if everything turns out all right, but it also protects the buyer.

fonthaunt Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 do you find that happens a lot, even with sellers that seem to receive really positive reviews?Not really, no. Most sellers try their best to deliver as promised. Unfortunately, there are always a few that get in over their heads or do something they shouldn’t.
