Did anyone experience this? I have a client who only wanted to do minimal tasks on his store. The initial contract instructions were so minimal that I didn't see the red flags from this client. 

Fast forward, now he keeps on telling me that I am not doing it right. I keep on sending him images of the work I done and yet he doesn't even give feedback. He keeps on saying that's not what I want. 

So I asked him what he wants and he won't tell me. Then out of nowhere, tasks that were not on the initial agreement came in like I had to do them because they were a part of the product updates. 

I grew suspicious and somehow feeling so frustrated because I literally send him every picture of what I do and he doesn't even comment if I am doing them right and he offers no constructive feedback. 

Then he sent me again a message like that's not what I want and never explains it. So I tried to be very professional that I really don't understand why what's wrong with what I'm doing. 

After three days of work, I sent him and trying to honest of what I am going through telling him that I am really frustrated because you're not telling me some things I need to know. 

Once I finished all his work, he removed me as his store admin and tried to cancel his order. I was furious and he told me my work is subpar. This person is a freeloader and doesn't deserve to be in this platform. 

I sent him over 80 images for every detail of work that I done and still no communication from him. Except when I woke up today, saw that he tried to cancel his order because my work is sub par. He never goes beyond that reasoning. I did not cancel because I spent hours on his store trying to make it work and it seems that wasn't his goal. 

His goal was once I finish his work, removed me as admin and cancel his order so he get the work done for free. This person is a freeloader and doesn't deserve respect from Fiverr community.
