w3bgrafix Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hi,How to deal with a buyer?For whom you have invested more then 6 hrs for “$5” custom offer, even gave a “gig extra” for free.After “Fiverr” mark the order complete and he/she appears from nowhere and asks for a refund or threat you of a poor review, treat you like a garbage.Even then you do revisions to keep the client happy and at the end client give you poor review.It happened to me recently, for the first time.😦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eoinfinnegan Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 What was client location?Then say no or give them a custom extra for the additional work.What was client location?Bad clients can come from anywhere and mentioning countries negatively on the forum is not allowed so please don’t request people to do so.

eoinfinnegan Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Saying No will mean going to get bad review anyway 😛Not necessarily, if you do it professionally it will often be ok.A client I said no to because he only wanted to pay one third of my rate then went ahead and placed an order, then another and now another. Total value is around $4000 so far.Besides, I would prefer to say no and get a bad review than to work 6 hours for $5 and THEN get a bad review.
