As a freelancer on Fiverr, it is not recommended to engage in activities that are outside the scope of your gig or involve the use of your personal finances. Booking a hotel for a buyer using your own credit card can be risky and potentially fraudulent, especially if you do not know the buyer and have not established a working relationship with them.

It is important to always exercise caution and protect yourself from potential scams or fraudulent activity. If you are unsure about the legitimacy of an order or request, it is always best to communicate with the buyer and clarify any concerns before proceeding.

In this case, you should explain to the buyer that you are unable to fulfill their request and suggest that they make the booking themselves or use a reputable booking website. If the buyer insists on you making the booking, it may be best to cancel the order and report the situation to Fiverr's customer support team for further assistance.

Thank you so much for your help. What should a freelancer do if the client wants to book him/her a hotel room? and why I cannot cancel the order?

Thank you so much for that. Usually, what to if ever a buyer wants you to book him a hotel?

Have you experienced booking someone a hotel? to be honest I am not sure if the order was legit since there was no prior activities. He wants me to book him a hotel using my own card since he ordered and it costs $98 including hotel ticket. The problem was I don't have money and I was not sure if it was legit. I don't have someone to ask or talk to.
