[TRICK] How To Run a Background Check On A Buyer

[smartwebcontent]

Reply to @madmoo: I see what you mean. Unfortunately in life and especially business, there are people that are just plain rude. No matter how you try and reason with them, they simply won’t have it. Therefore I do suppose the background check can help.



I normally gauge what sort of buyer I am dealing with by how they respond to my communications. I strive to consistently be polite and it’s only happened once in one hundred orders where a buyer has been a bit of a buffoon. Thankfully they’re few and far between…at the moment 😉

This is perfect, except you still cannot guard against competitor from setting up a brand new account with absolutely no other feedback given to any other gig but yours, only to dampening your reputation. And s/he does it right time only and do not ever use that account again. Don’t get me wrong, this is really fantastic suggestion, technique and helpful advice except with the above stated concerns.

so is it to see if they have a pattern of bad reviews?

[thecreativeguys]

I have seen this before. It’s great to search on a site which does not have a search bar on it to. Try it out guys.



Thanks for sharing it with the community.



The only 1 problem is that 20% of our clients are new to fiverr, no listings and no reviews!



Best Of Luck,

I have someone harassing me and I tried this and got no results. I even searched myself this way and got nothing. Wonder if it is no longer working 😦

still if feud continues, its just better to let the buyer have his 5$, its just not worth it and there is nothing wrong with that.

[nikihiphop]

[Alex.M]

This is cool 😃 Much appreciated

[gypscoun]

Wow! that’s very useful! thanks a lot

[missashley8705]

I think you might be a genius! Thanks! I will be referring people to this post for sure!

[kornilov]

Unfortunately, that trick only works with paused, non-popular and abandoned Gigs. With popular gigs some feedback gets shifted down pretty quickly and become invisible to search engines.

Amazing! I’ve been in the position so many times, having doubts aboout buyers and wishing I could do some kind of background check. They really need to introduce some type of rating for the buyers too. Thanks for the tip!

[in2town]

This is a great tip

[twitterbirds]

I seriously appreciate this post, Thanks Aweberr.

[wp_backup_files]

AWEBERR, YOU ARE LIFESAVER MAN - in this sea of unwillingness to show buyer’s ratings . I had a BUYER FROM HELL, If i’d check earlier - i’d not engage!

I am unable to attach file.
Can someone guide me how to do that so i can tell you about review of that blackmailer?

[fonthaunt]

@haris_hassan You cannot post information including buyer usernames (including images) about other users. So, no. Please read the forum Do’s and Dont’s before posting again.

[haris_hassan]

@fonthaunt I know that. i censored the name of seller and buyer in image. Even then i am not allowed?
Can you please give explanation why you deleted my comment when i haven’t even posted any image with it?

[haris_hassan]

I don’t know why you deleted my comment. I can refer you to many posts in forum who actually used the seller name or indirectly refered making their identity easily exposed.
I fully make the buyer/seller name confidential. Can you please atleast confirm the voilation before deleting anyone’s comment?

[fonthaunt]

@haris_hassan What? My comment was that you cannot post identities. One of a few replies (still posted) made it sound like to me you wanted to tell about something that happened to you. I didn’t say you posted an image, I just said that you couldn’t post the name or related information about another user with an image or without one and that no one should give you instructions on how to do so. That’s all I have to say.

[haris_hassan]

Okay. I am sorry but i don’t know where my comment have gone 😛 do you have authority/rights to delete any?
Actually i wanted to let the fiverr community know that there are these type of spammer and blackmailer too (keeping identity undisclosed)

[fonthaunt]

Yes, I can delete comments and when there are many spam/violating comments it is possible to get one by accident. I see posts by you in this thread, but Fiverr did go down for maintenance recently so I’m not sure what all happened.

My best suggestion to you would be to starts your own post on your topic rather than jumping into this old thread.

Put your topic somewhere appropriate. Conversations perhaps if it’s a discussion or Fiverr FAQ if it’s a clear question. Whatever is bothering you would go better in your own thread.
