SCAM on fiverr

[Guest nexartdesign]

Hello sellers,

I'm seller on fiverr. I started my journey as a freelancer on fiverr for the first time and I was so happy to earn side income for the 2 years. Finally I got $1650 order where I just need to edit 70 photos and thats it, client asked me to send each photo I complete to make real time corrections, I said okay no issues and I did 69 photos and made all required corrections to make client satisfied but.... Scam happens here. When I completed last photo and going to deliver, I got message "We had to cancel this order, because client () is no more available on fiverr. 

Here client just deactivated his account permanently so order will be get concalled automatically, and there is on more message "Unfortunately, we had to cancel this order and return the money to merkleedv" so client will get all money refund as well. so technically I trusted my ragular client and I got scammed like this.

I suggest all sellers to please do not make big orders on fiverr, if you make big big orders than please deliver all at one day, never deliver things before delivery, yeah I know client can deactivate their account after delivery also.

Here I have suggestion for fiverr as well. #fiverr please make some changes in refund policy where client deactivate his account on live orders.

Also I've raise many tickets for it but fiverr executives just repy with same message "you are in good hands" and they mark ticket as SOLVED.

I believe now that fiverr is best place to earn more but  in small amounts. because in the end nobody cares about you and your emotions. even fiverr doesnt care if about scams happen to you. Please take care. I am a seller and I can understand how you feel when you worked for 60 days and got scammed and nobody cares. 

Also my account is temporary banned and waiting for review since 58 days. where client rated my 4 stars and gave $5 tip. client asked me to help change rating and again fiverr banned my account. See how nobody cares since 58 days.

Thank you so much for reading my story. I hope you all doing great and never get scammed like me.

Your wellwisher @Nexartdesign

The milestones option could also be used if that would make it less risky.

Yes Thats correct but in my case the order was discussed and created for single delivery but after place order client requested for real time corrections. so I trusted him.

I understand that fiverr provides compensation,you can find articles about it,why don't you ask for it officially?
