Today, A shocking thing happened on fiverr with a friend

[ajmalajji]

GOD!! That is really sad. Sellers should have proper right ,i mean they try really hard to come up with best quality by putting a lot of effort and sacrificing their time.

[hamzamunir]

I totally agree with you, Some buyers are just so crap. They deal with us like we are working under not for them.
But my friend was afraid, because he is struggling to reach level 2.

[hamzamunir]

Yes, Buyers have nothing to lose on fiverr, Even the ratings we give them don’t show on their profile. We have so much to lose, One bad rating on any gig make the profile and that gig suffer.

[emmaki]

Yes–but if he shows he’s afraid, he becomes prey for these kind of buyers. It’s rather too late to do much else than tell CS, but in future, your friend needs to call their bluff, otherwise he’s going to get a parade of people who all need a sound public shaming around their local community for being complete jackasses.

[hamzamunir]

That’s exactly what happened with my friend,
So unfortunate.

[ahessane87]

We need to be protected as Sellers from a Buyer like him… Really shocking !

[emmaki]

We are protected… this seller just wasn’t aware of the protective measures available to him and bowed to pressure. It’s not so much shocking as another example of not reading the ToS–which 99% of us are guilty of 99% of the time.

So, someone has learned a lesson, but the next victim will be up soon enough. And you’re all going to frown for them as well? Deary me.

[hamzamunir]

That’s why I actually put this here on forum, So that other sellers could be aware that this act too can happen. When I came to know about this I was shocked too.

[emmaki]

This will disappear into the black hole of archived posts to be replaced with another issue, believe me. Things like this happen every day…

[dijatul]

This is our request as a sellers, We need to be protected as Sellers from a Buyer like him. We need full support from CS. Please protect . Without sellers, theirs no value to buyers,

[Guest johnwalter017]

frankly speaking that happened to me today, we need to have rights as sellers. it is unfair.

[metyuss]

The same happened to me with a drop on my ratings to 4,9. Fortunatelly I’ve many other positive reviews but, it had a negative impact on my sales.

[ayesha9]

this very right and always buyer do like this and freak out the seller… if it happens again and again so i think seller disheart and find somewhere els…

[hamzamunir]

Oh thats really unfortunate, Please report it to customer support May be there is still some time left to get your money back

[dwoehr]

There were other sites that I worked at that allowed me to see how sellers reviewed potential buyers. That really helped me determine whether or not I wanted to work with that person. Some are just impossible, and others are criminal, like the one you were talking about. He/she obviously wanted the work done for free.

Out of the two hundred orders I’ve done here, I’ve only had one bad experience. I delivered the order. He requested a mutual cancellation without going into specifics of why he didn’t like my work. My instinct told me that this guy was trying to nab a freebie, but I didn’t want to get into a dispute.

I had another buyer (this one from China) who tried to wheedle five patterns out of me for the cost of one, and he wasn’t about to stop there. So, I cancelled that order.

That said, most of the people I’ve worked with here are honest and patient. I just wish that there was a way that we could avoid the bad apples.

[syedsimanta03]

same here.I don’t know what to do.Fiverr CS will do nothing.

[Guest iamomo]

This is so not fair. Sellers should have some rights to at-least ban such customers.

[binaryminds]

Ye’s i’m agree with #iamomo some buyer’s are here only just for getting free service…

[babajee]

There should be an option on Fiverr. If NO review is given in 10 days (or so), automatically 5 stars!
Half my orders are without review. It has been so long, I am even afraid of requesting for a review now from some

[hamzamunir]

Exactly, Buyer’s should have a feedback showing on their profile too.

[itravel4free]

Really sorry to hear that. Some buyers are real flakes and are looking to scam the system.

[hamzamunir]

Yeah and those buyers should be banned

[mariokluser]

My first question to a buyer who states that something is easy and done in 15 minutes would be: “Then why aren’t you doing it yourself?”

[ns9666]

4 days ago, I also experienced such kind of buyer. I contacted to fiverr support immediately but they did not respond me till now.

[Guest lissa_1]

I am sad to hear that people act this way. They wouldn’t like it if it happened to them. I hope the buyer gets some closure on this. Trust in CS, They are very good at what they do, and I largely find them to be fair and helpful.
