trooviez9 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Some buyers are just a pain in the **s. He asked me to provide him with an outline, never gave any specific instructions about what he wanted included. I asked him for more specific details even after he placed the order but he was just mute (I could see he was online). Now I went ahead and delivered a general outline as the brief conversation we had via inbox. Three days later just before the order autocompletes, he comes back saying he will cancel the delivery but extend the delivery time so he can get more details for the project. I agreed.Ten days have passed, so I redelivered the work telling him to send the details now if he has them. He then requests to cancel saying he no longer needs the work.Surely, my time and resources should be compensated, shouldn’t they?What do I do?

sabircreative Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 The only thing you can do is to be patient. Sometimes it happens.If you really think it was cheating, you can then complain to Fiverr Fraud and risk Team, hope they will do something and it won’t happen again.

christina123 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I am sorry this is a terrible experience. I also had such experience in past. Better ask them to provide specific instructions at the very first time. If he is unable to provide just forget that order and cancel it rather than wasting your time and effort. I don’t think Fiverr CS compensate you. It is just a market place and it makes just a platform to meet sellers and buyers. Nothing more.Wish you good luck with future orders.

It states:“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. Buyers may rate their experience with the seller on the order page, including the overall level of service quality received.”That’s it, then just refuse. Keep sending that every time they ask.

misscrystal Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 It sounds like you did not deliver the finished product. In this case, in spite of you doing some of the work, he should get a refund.If you deliver anything but what you said you would deliver in the gig description, even if it was his fault you did not deliver the final product, he should get a refund.Based on what you delivered which was not the final product, agree to cancel.

fastcopywriter Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I get that some clients want to see how the sausage is made, but your job is delivering the sausage. I wouldn’t have given him an outline or anything not related to the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, if they leave bad feedback, you get to respond and call them a low life, dirt eating, ass-headed loser. Or even something insulting if you are so inclined.

You did not deliver what you were supposed to deliver. It does not matter if it was his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice comes with the understanding that you provided what was in the gig description precisely. If you fell short, agree to the cancel and learn from it.

It makes sense. Over the years working on Fiverr, I have learned that you can not keep every client happy. There are going to be clients, for whom no matter what you do, who still want to cancel the order. So, it makes sense to keep the money and accept the negative feedback.
