haider399 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I recently received a random wrong order placed on my gig. I told buyer that you have placed a wrong order on my gig and I will get it done somehow so my profile rating wont get hurt. He asked me to cancel the order. Suddenly after some time he kept insisting that i will complete your order. so I generated a delivery and he completed it saying it doesn’t matter. After completion he started asking me to refund his money out of fiverr. I wasn’t convinced with that sending money to him outside fiverr. After that he started asking me for refunded his money in inappropriate way. ( in abusive manner). Blackmailing me that he is going to leave a bad review on my gig. if i am not going to refund his money. I contacted fiver support and told them Buyer is asking for a refund after completing the order and blackmailing me . Fiverr support cancelled the order.Just now after a weak I found buyer review on my gig saying I cheated him. Which effected my gigs and rating bad. I am really disappointed and worried. I would be really appreciating for the help.Just wanted to share my experience so you know there are some people out there who are doing such things.

vickiespencer Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 That sounds like it would be a much more difficult task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have been nipped in the bud before turning into the quagmire that it did. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk1000 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Buyer placed on order for logo animation on my gig for image background Photoshop editing.As soon as they ordered the logo animation on the background editing gig you could have contacted CS and told them the buyer has ordered something completely different to what your gig is for and asked CS to cancel it without it affecting your stats. There’s a good chance they would have in those circumstances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katakatica Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 So… I’ve had a couple people who mistakenly ordered on my gigs - I don’t write non-fiction at all (not interested/I know nothing about SEO. If they are remotely connected to storywriting, I will write them BUT if they aren’t - l’ll cancel.If you present your case nicely, CS might help make sure it doesn’t affect your rating (I’ve had to people place an order than realize how expensive it was / realize they were game-scripts or something and went through CS to cancel - everything was fine in the end.Your case is iffy because the buyer was either trying to scam you from the get-go… OR they got angry with you because you didn’t deliver what they wanted. You probably shouldn’t have delivered anything in the first place since then they couldn’t have left a review. It’s not really your fault (they got their money back, right?) but I’m not sure if CS would be able to remove the review or something like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
