I am absolutely fuming. "The customer is always right" has gone way too far. 

TRS, Voice Actor, over 1K 5-Star reviews, level 10. I've been dealing with an EXTREMELY difficult middle man buyer. Placed an order for $100, I complete it, it autocompletes in January. Reaches out for a script change, fine, I charge him $20, I complete it, that's fine. He asks for a new order March 7th to re-do the entire script due to script changes, I complete that. FIVE revisions later, he tries to change the script again, I send him script change fee (I am extremely clear in my gig description, FAQ's, and delivery message that script changes incur fees). He says he doesn't have the funds, so I offer to cancel, he says he refuses unless I refund him for all of the previous orders since they were for the same script. I say that isn't possible. Suddenly he has the $20. So I complete the revision. He comes back today with a LAUNDRY LIST of changes. Now we're at 6 revisions for a $65 order. I say I'm done, I'm cancelling (something I very rarely do). He says he will not accept unless I refund him for everything, I again tell him that I can't do that, he says he's going to try anyway, I say fine.

TLDR: $100 completed order from January reversed because of difficult buyer, account overdrafted now.
