[Buyer Ordered Gig, I delivered the order, then he canceled and blocked me.]

Well. It seems Fiverr has not penalized my gig, after all. My percent cancelation was adjusted a few days ago.

I'm not sure what happened.

This incident has made me edit my gig, though. I have now doubled the cost of my gig, and I put in the description that repeat customers can receive 50% off.

So, this is just to incentivize repeat customers. Also, it's easier for me to run the gig for someone a second time (just how the process is set up) than to start from scratch with a new customer. So the increase in price and also the discount makes sense that way, too.

I don't make a lot of money on Fiverr. This is just a thing I'm doing on the side to see what might happen. You can tell my gig is not a scam. I have 4 5-star reviews so far. It is being well received.

If I remember correctly and if they haven't changed it, buyer gets it all back (possibly minus the service fee), and Fiverr loses their cut, too.

Even better. All gigs on Fiverr are 100% free! The buyer can just cancel the order after it's been delivered and then block the seller. Fiverr will then punish the seller for it. Isn't Fiverr great?

Of course there is a fee for using Fiverr as a platform. How on Earth do you think they would be able to make a profit as a business and cover their operating costs?

I was saying that the buyer gets 80% off after he cancels the order upon receiving the delivery and blocks the seller. Fiverr still takes their 20% cut. The seller gets nothing. This is allowed on the Fiverr platform. You think that is a good feature?

You want to do Fiverr's work for them. They charge 20% on every sale and they don't even have a customer support phone number or email

They shouldn't allow buyers to cancel orders after they have been delivered. And situations in which the wrong or incorrect delivery has been made should be flagged and reviewed by a customer support team. That's how it works at every other business. Fiverr doesn't have that, because it's a garbage platform. What are we paying 20% for?? This is a huge issue that exists in the platform, and instead of wanting Fiverr to fix it, you defend Fiverr's crappy system and take up more unpaid work to compensate for it.

What do you get out of the 20% you pay to Fiverr?

There is a lot of fraud byer in fiverr. Fiverr is strict to the seller but not the byer. Fiverr should take action to this type of fraud byer. 

That's exactly my point. The fact that Fiverr allows this type of activity, and there is nothing you as a seller can do about it, means that it's a garbage website that I don't want to be apart of. There isn't even a customer service phone number or email for Fiverr. I am taking my business elsewhere.

Everything is 80% off on Fiverr, and you will spend hours on a delivery and not be paid, and there's nothing you can do about it. Fiverr also does not care. Why would anyone want to do business here?

It's not worth continuing to use FIverr, if it allows buyers to scam you, and even penalizes your gig when it happens.

I won't be doing business on the site, anymore.

Why does Fiverr allow for this kind of activity? The worst part is that Fiverr will automatically penalize my gig for this. The buyer scammed me and got my delivered work for 80% off, by cancelling it after delivery. This is unacceptable. I cannot do business on Fiverr anymore. What a horrible website.
