sandy7452 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Hi everyone,Someone just placed an order without even reading the description and gig packages. It was clearly stated in the gig description as well as the package descriptions that the buyer must contact me before placing any order. But this buyer still proceeded to purchase.I explained to the buyer that I do not cancel orders for unnecessary reasons. Then the buyer started abusing.What do I do? Cancel the order or accept bad feedback?Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I cancel?Why he wants to cancel, did he changed his mind, or asking more than what he bought.100$ is not a little amount to give on.If you did not start with anything and he did not gave you anything to work on, cancel.

surajrenuka Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Why do you want to cancel order ?Did he ordered for a service you are not offering ?or its about price - dead line or asking extra services? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy7452 Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 Why he wants to cancel, did he changed his mind, or asking more than what he bought.100$ is not a little amount to give on.If you did not start with anything and he did not gave you anything to work on, cancel.So this buyer bought eBay listing and store template design package. Then the buyer realizes that he does not have a store. He wants only listing template. So I offer him to design the store template anytime in the future whenever he decides to subscribe to eBay store. Then the abuse started.I did not start anything yet. I asked him to provide logo, banner, login details, etc. He provided nothing. Just waiting for advice from here.I did read on the Forums about some people having mandatory requirements. I thought of doing the same on my gig but then I feared it might have a negative impact on the ranking of my gig if I revise the gig. What do you think? Will it have negative impact?I went through 3 years without cancelling a single order. I was just dreading one of these days I will receive an order like this. And so it happened today.Should I cancel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the buyer who wants to cancel for unnecessary reason. He knew exactly what he had bought. He even bought something from the Extras page. From this I can conclude that he was fully aware what he had bought.So this buyer bought eBay listing and store template design package. Then the buyer realizes that he does not have a store.

Not sure if me contacting CS will make any difference. I have read before that even if the CS cancels the order, it still affects the order completion rate and along with it comes other penalties.

It affected my order completion rate and got penalised heavily which included reduction in sales, gig ranking, etc. I pleaded with CS to remove the penalty on my account. But they said no matter what, cancellation always affects the order completion rate. The did not remove the penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy7452 Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 And this is why I always treat everyone with respect when I order something and read the gigs and descriptions with great care. And it’s why I’m extra gentle with women, as they always have to put up with more sh*t than men have to. I hope everything works out for you.Thanks.You know even my gig packages says to contact me before purchasing. Guess some people just don’t give a crap 😦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinapomorac Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Thanks.You know even my gig packages says to contact me before purchasing. Guess some people just don’t give a crap 😦khm you have people ordering VO without listening to samples.We get a lot of “Buyer wants male voice… but I am female”, and her entire portfolio and image is obviously a female.
