gina_riley2 Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 “Help! Please! My buyer is threatening me with bad review. I did everything perfectly, what should I do?”:woman_facepalming: Oye! Every single day!! Every day someone asks this. What should you do? If I were a seller, this is what I would do:Scammer: Cancel or else!Me: No!Scammer: I will give you 1 star review!Me: No!Scammer: What do you mean by NO!? This is my final warning, accept cancellation or bad review.Me: No!Scenario 1:Buyer gives blind review.I give buyer review: "** WARNING **, all sellers!! This buyer just scammed me out of $XX order. After delivery, (s)he treatenened me with a bad review unless I cancel and give him free work. Unless, you like working for free, stay away.I’d write the same thing under his/her review of me.// ** NO REAL BUYER cares if you have a 1 star review, as long as you stay professional in your response. If anything, it’ll stop other scammers from going to you when they see it.I would report them immediately after reading the review, that way if the scammer reports me with lies, they can see my side of the story.Scenario 2:Scammer goes directly to CS and has order cancelled.Contact CS, explain situation and tell them, you arerequesting an official “take down” if they are using it. Since they didn’t pay, you have the rights to it and will be using/selling your work.Also tell CS, you will send 1 professionally written message to him/her, via inbox, to the fact just in case they plan on using it.Don’t get scammed. Sellers hold all the cards. Scammers only have the power if you hand over those cards. Stop being so weak. No one makes TRS without dealing with a few scammers and losers.Sorry to be harsh, but if you keep acting helpless, then you are getting exactly what you deserve. So,STOP IT!!Edit: Power of saying “NO!”

coerdelion Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Yeah, @gina_riley2 - not so long ago that would have been no brainer advice. Unfortunately, since the new year CS has become somewhat trigger happy and often doesn’t follow TOS, or even finds a way around it.Now … well, cancelling is an option …

imagination7413 Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 I haven’t had to face this situation yet myself, but if I were threatened and it’s a high-profit order, I’d immediately contact CS, and say something along the lines of:I’ve just been threatened by a buyer. Per the Current Fiverr ToS, “Users are abusive towards the other party through threats of low ratings” and “Buyers who threaten to leave a damaging review to gain more services from the Seller not related to the agreed requirements.” are listed as grounds for cancellation. At this time, I do not wish to cancel and wish to attempt to work things out with the buyer. If the buyer does leave ‘a damaging review’ do I have Fiverr’s support and backing that the ‘damaging review’ will be removed?If it’s a tiny order, then I’d state the above, but indeed ask for cancellation.

I am not sure about removing any reviews. It’s doubtful.
samar29 Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Is it just me or the customer support isn’t responding anymore? I contacted them 2 days ago and haven’t recieved any response from them…! It happened with me for the first time, anyone know what’s wrong? Should I register another complaint? Weird things happening in 2020.

Guest logo_avenue Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 This will help me a lot I just came across 4 scammers trying to scam me :roll_eyes:
zerlina84 Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 If he didn’t ask for a revision after the last delivery, the order will auto complete in 3 days.If you requested the cancellation, if he doesn’t reply in 2 days (if I’m not mistaken) the order will be cancelled.
hamzahqureshi Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 I requested to cancel order he declines it im sick of it cause seems like that guy is trying to take control over me i mean i dont want to work with someone who give me threats and now im stuck in this situation,If my delivery is late and i dont respond will it cancel someday or it will be there as a reminder

It says “late” but you can ignore it.But so you sent the request to cancel and he declined??Send a printscreen of his threats to CS and say you want to cancel it because he’s threatening you and he’s refusing (if he really is).

sizera Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing great.I am a new seller on fiverr and after reading the whole conversation i want to share my bad experience with all of you.I received my first message from client in July, 2020. He was humble and kind at the first time. When i delivered him the work done by me on urgent basis because he need that work in the very second day. So, i tried my best level to complete the task within 6 hours. He accepted and then ask me for revision on the other day. I did it as he asked me to do correction.After a week, he offered me another task and i accept it with all required material i needed. I completed the task within a week as he gave me time of a week. And then my bad luck arrives. Unfortunately though.Just after the submission, he ask me for revision. All the time he come up with the new things. It was 7 times i did revision. But he wasn’t satisfied. I asked him to clear me what he need. But he keep going with the lame excuses and mistakes. Although there wasn’t anything wrong with the assignment i did.At last, he asked me to redo the task 😕 and gave me 24 hours for that work. I asked him to increase the delivery time because its not possible to complete the task within 24 hours. It was 15 pages work and he wanted me to redo it in 24 hours. I refused to do and then he asked me to cancel the order, i denied to do so. At that time i was new and working with second task and didn’t know about how to handle him.He asked me to cancel the order and he himself contacted fiverr support and give put my worst impression on my gig that the seller is not qualified for required task. 😢I become upset and wanted to get rid out of it and finally we ended up with the mutual agreement. I did his work for $40 which all goes in vain.
