You have to choose the lesser of 2 evils. Either you cancel, work for free and yes they will steal your work and use it, all while dinging your metrics. Or refuse to cancel, let them leave the bad review, and you get to respond nicely for all to see. "Buyer threatened me with bad review to get additional work which was not in our discussions. I offered to send a gig extra, but they persisted. I delivered great work, on time and as described. But I do not feel it appropriate to be bullied into working for free. Avoid this buyer." My advice is always, if you did quality work, don't be bullied, take the ding, and call them out if they do. Every product or service has some bad reviews from abusive customers, except for those sellers who cave in and allow themselves to be bullied into cancelling out of fear after working hard.

I learn many click make batch.

Maybe if you read the actual message instead of just the headline prior to responding, you would not appear so disconnected from the conversation?

The mobile app is far easier than on the PC for blocking people. I suggest that.

Most people are here to work, not be entertained, you might try Netflix.com

The algorithm does not react to this type of stuff, just what happens when you deliver or interact on first contact. You are cool.

Instead, I pray you will find Grammarly.

You're fine, he's a cheapskate. I would have stopped the convo about 2 paragraphs earlier by saying, I don't discount, or argue about my prices, good luck finding a a seller in your budget. (BLOCK BUYER). Nothing will happen, relax.

You are making the mistake of assuming that people are honest as to their qualifications and experience here. In fact is you read the forum with any regularity, every day we call out people with outrageous lies on their gigs and profiles, with the vast majority coming from just a couple of places. So yes, in your example, assuming everyone is honest about their qualifications and experience, there is a small chance that you could find that rare gem. Just yesterday, we called out a noob claiming to have expertise in 38 fields, and proficiency in 61 languages. However the volume of complaints here in the forum are evidence that noobs are very regularly lying about the country they are in, their level of English fluency, their profile picture their education, and their expertise. Other than that all good, right? Bottom line is that noobs are a gamble that may be acceptable for people fooling around on Fiverr, but for professionals who are trying to get a job done, and done right the first time, TRS/PRO sellers are the best way to insure that.

You won't have to fight. Don't communicate with the seller any longer, just tell CS that you were not satisfied with the end product, or the lack of professionalism and communication from the seller, and tell them you can't use what she provided, so you want a refund to try another seller. Easy.

Robert, BR is "Buyer's Requests", and TRS is "Top Rated Seller." Just a thought as to what I would have done in that situation. As soon as she switched from being respectful about communication to basically telling you to leave her alone after she got her hands on your Euros, I would have gone to resolution center and cancelled the order. That said, I think you should contact Customer Service and tell them this story, and ask them to cancel the order. Fiverr is not built for you to have to be told to let her work alone if you asked for communication, nor is it meant for you to settle. You absolutely deserve your money back. Here's the link. They'll get you your money back, just tell them you are not satisfied. https://www.fiverr.com/support/

This means that you have successfully promoted your gig to the point where 39 people clicked on it. The problem is that after viewing your gig, something made them decide not to buy from you. Looking at your gig, I think I solved the mystery. It just might be the ridiculous claims you make as to your expertise in 38 fields and your fluency in 61 languages Expertise: Agriculture, Animals & pets, Art & design, Beauty & cosmetics Blockchain & cryptocurrency, Construction, Dental care, Education, Energy & utilities, Environmental, Events planning Fashion & apparel, Financial services & business, Food & beverage, Gaming, Health & wellness, Kids, Legal, Lifestyle, Manufacturing & storage, Marketing & advertising, Media & entertainment, Medical & pharmaceutical, Non profit, Photography & videography, Public sector, Real estate, Religion & spirituality, Retail & wholesale, Science, Services, Society & culture, Sports & fitness, Technology, Transportation & automotive, Travel & tourism, Writing & publishing Language: Albanian, Arabic, Bengali, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dari Dutch, English, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, French, Georgian, German, Greek, Haitian, Creole, Hawaiian, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish Gaelic, Italian, Jamaican Patois, Japanese, Kazakh, Korean, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Malay, Maltese, Nepali, Nigerian, Norwegian Persian/Farsi, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Slovenian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, Urdu, Vietnamese, Welsh We have a word for this in English:

I'd suggest that you also need to improve your English skills. You don't build confidence with phrases such as: My condition is same as you I am highly expert Let's have a small chat to know your requirements. I have experienced work Also, if you want to convince people that you are competent, and confident, then you should not post the following, because it screams, the exact opposite: Please send me a message before placing an order so we can discuss of the project and make a perfect deal.

I would start by being honest. You claim that your English proficiency is: But it is immediately obvious that you are not a native English speaker when your gigs and profile contain very obvious mistakes such as: QUALITY" is MY GOLE I'm a PROFESSIONALLY at Adobe Photoshop and have experience 5+ years. I'm an experience RETOUCHER The problem is that when you lie so obviously about something like being a native English speaker, anyone reading your gigs would immediately wonder what else is untrue about your abilities. As a graphic artist, you don't need to be bulletproof in your English skills. Why not be honest about your competence in that regard, and not cast doubt on the rest of your abilities.

There are some people I miss on that list for sure.

Danny, @frank_d is not a Level 2 seller, he is TRS and PRO seller, as well as being a forum m.o.d-erator.

How dare you correct an "expart" proofreader who claims to be "fluent" in English 😉 The 3 biggest lies on Fiverr: 1. Native English speaker 2. Fluent English speaker 3. Expert

Actually, Apple treated Susan Bennett (Siri) very badly. https://www.cracked.com/personal-experiences-2108-i-am-siris-voice-4-bizarre-realities.html

No, that is a completely silly idea. That's like saying that Starbucks should not use "coffee" as an SEO term because it is highly competitive. In order to be found, you need the words that zero in on what you sell.

There is also the issue of ownership. If you were paid to record that audio, your buyer holds the rights to it. You are not only running the risk of distributing work which you no longer have the legal rights to, but you are certainly violating the privacy between you and your client by distributing their files without their consent. A very bad move either way.

This underscores the problems that arise when the only requirements to sell are that one has both a pulse and a cell phone. How wonderful that I, for example, could initiate a gig right now: "For $5 I will perform a coronary artery bypass," and claim to be a cardiac surgeon, and head of cardiology at West Undershirt Teaching Hospital in Walla Walla. I could further claim to have invented the artificial heart valve, and hold the global patent for it, in addition to being an amateur astronaut and Elon Musk's uncle. I would naturally be fluent in 19 languages, and native in another 5, including Klingon. I can easily get great descriptions for my gig from other cardiac surgeons here on Fiber, and include my real, actual and authentic headshot as well. In chalking up "gaming the system" to cultural differences, I struggle to think of a modern culture that promotes the practice of lies, IP theft, plagiarism, faking of orders and all the other scams we see daily, as acceptable. I believe honesty is a pillar of every modern culture. It may just be that people are not that worried about it when they can be anonymous and have a chance to snatch a $5 bill. But it's clear that the honor system is not working.

Exactly my thought. I hope you are not using buyer's requests. Avoid BR at all costs. Then if you do use a new seller (always a gamble), vet them really well. When I buy a service, I only buy from PRO, TRS or Level 2 sellers with over 200 reviews. No problems.

This is the secret sauce.

It is not a mystery or a puzzle. Fiverr may or may not review your gigs once you satisfy all the basic requirements. At that point they will determine if your gig is in very the top 1-2% of quality. That includes hidden reviews, and a lot of metrics which they keep to themselves, plus a lot of very picky details. As @visualstudios suggested above, your level of proficiency in English is OK for basic communication, but not sufficient to pass as top 1-2% in an English speaking business situation. Most sellers who complete the requirements to be considered will never get TRS. To me the mystery is why we see posts every day from sellers who continue to believe that simply meeting the requirements to be considered means that they have slam dunked TRS, and that the actual manual vetting process is just a formality. Meeting the requirements is the easy part, passing the manual vetting is the hard part, as it should be.
