Somebody sold me a video already on youtube

[abcplaytv]

ive been in contact with a seller over the last week. and I paid for a gig to make a nursery rhyme for my channel. the video was great on delivery . I started another video with the same seller again. only to find out that when I uploaded the video I first purchased it was material that has already been uploaded onto youtube . youtube took down my video as soon as it was uploaded for copyright

I want my money back

what shall I do

Contact CS, get your money back, and get the seller banned.

report him, and let that scammers banned

[benedictrm]

Yes, report this.

As a seller this offends me greatly. Sorry to hear it has happened.

Also understand why YouTube has pinged the material. I may be simply that they see it is the same and not a true copyright breach. Read the reasons carefully as you may only need to show that you have the rights to use the material.

As a buyer, did you check that they offer original/unique work (not that this should need to be stated)? Also did you choose a low-price Gig as sadly many of them are about cutting corners so next time, choose a provider who present as a professional overall - unique work for a fair price (for all as $5 helps no one ever). Often those with videos are more likely to be trustworthy as they have put their face on the line.

Glad to hear that. Plenty of legitimate sellers around so Fiverr is better off without people like that.
